South Korean actress Han Ga In recently shared a surprising behind-the-scenes story about a difficult commercial shoot pose that left her suffering from leg pain for days.
Koreaboo reported that the actress opened up about the experience in a video uploaded May 21 to her YouTube channel, Han Ga In Is Free. The episode, titled "Beauty Tips From the Cheongdam Shop Teacher Who Has Done Han Ga In's Makeup For 23 Years (Skincare Method)," featured the actress discussing her makeup routines, beauty preferences and memorable moments from her career.
During the video, Han explained that she wanted to showcase the natural makeup styles she commonly wears while filming dramas and commercials. She revealed that viewers often leave comments saying she looks better with her usual makeup or even without makeup at all.

"I often see comments saying, 'Her usual makeup is prettier' or 'She looks better without makeup,'" Han said while discussing the different styles she has experimented with over the years, including idol-inspired makeup and fantasy drama looks.
To demonstrate her everyday appearance, Han appeared in a simple all-white outfit paired with soft, natural makeup that highlighted her clean and elegant image.
The conversation then shifted when the production team asked whether she had ever been required to do an absurd pose during a commercial shoot. Han immediately recalled one particularly difficult moment from filming a washing machine advertisement.
"There was a pose during a washing machine commercial that wasn't ridiculous but impossible," she said with a laugh. "I had to bend over with a perfectly straight back to look at the washing machine," as per Naver.
Although the pose appeared manageable in sketches and planning materials, Han admitted it proved far more difficult in reality.
"It looked doable in drawings, but it wasn't for me," she explained. "My legs hurt so much for two days after." The actress joked that the demanding position seemed better suited for someone experienced in yoga.
"It's a pose only people who do a lot of yoga can do," she added. "After that, I thought I should start yoga."
Fans reacted warmly to Han's story online, with many praising her honesty and humor while expressing surprise at the physical demands actors sometimes endure during commercial shoots.
