Han Ji Min, one of Korea's most famous entertainers right now, told the unlikely story of how she got her start in the entertainment business. It was like a K-Drama story.

Han talked about how a crush she had in middle school led her to become an actress on Jung Jae Hyung's YouTube show "Fairy Jaehyung."

She talked about the school setting that made it happen, "Right after my school transitioned to a co-educational system, rumor spread that the captain of the soccer team had a crush on me."

Her homeroom teacher, who knew about the rumors, took a picture of the two of them at a school picnic.

A Koreaboo source said, "This photo single-handedly altered the trajectory of her life. The soccer captain kept it in his wallet, which was later discovered by the coach. The coach's sister worked at an entertainment management company, leading to Han's first introduction to the agency."

Han Ji Min remembered her first time modeling, "Interestingly, my elder sister was considered for a role first, but the photographer's gaze turned to me. I realized my eyes looked different from each angle, and I felt surprisingly comfortable expressing myself in front of the camera."

Nate News says that Han's early support system was also crucial, "With the enthusiastic support of her homeroom teacher, she ended up taking her first modeling photos for the agency, marking the start of her remarkable journey in K-Dramas."

Meanwhile, fans recently commented on her most recent photo on social media, which is more proof that Han Ji Min is still a showstopper decades after her first appearance.
