Han Ga-in’s “Shocking Daily Life” Sparks Debate: Sympathy and Criticism

Han Ga-in married actor Yeon Jung-hoon in 2005 and has a son and a daughter. Recently, she posted a video titled “First-Ever Actress Han Ga-in’s Shocking 24-Hour Observational Camera (Crazy Schedule, Don’t Try This)” on her personal YouTube channel, “Free Wife Han Ga-in”, which quickly went viral.

The video covers her day from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM. It starts with her driving her eldest daughter, known as a top 1% prodigy, to an international school at 7:30 AM and follows her busy schedule throughout the day.

After dropping off her son at kindergarten, she returned home for breakfast. Around 11:00 AM, she crossed the river to Gangnam for parents’ brunch.

She picked up her son after brunch, bought books at the bookstore, and later picked up her daughter from school. After feeding her daughter in the car, Han Ga-in took her to a math academy, then enjoyed a barefoot walk along her usual hiking trail. Her day ended at 9:00 PM when she brought her daughter home from the academy.

The hectic schedule drew divided opinions from netizens.

Many moms sympathized, “A day flies by when you’re constantly running around,” “All moms are the same,” and “If Han Ga-in is this busy, I need to step up too.”

However, others criticized, “This is impossible for working moms,” “Only wealthy families can do this,” “A typical Gangnam mom,” and “How many people in Korea can relate to this?” Some labeled her a “stereotypical unlikable housewife.”
