EXID Hani had a honest speech
EXID Hani appeared on the YouTube channel “Sebashi Lecture,” which was released on the 16th, and conducted a lecture titled “Let’s all be as attractive as we please.” (sebashi-sesangeul bagunen shigan- means A moment that changes the world)
Hani confessed, “I thought for a long time that I was not an attractive person. Because of my job as a celebrity and my temperament, I desperately searched for charm all my life. Even after gaining fame, I struggled in search of charm.” “Before, I only wanted the success as Hani. That was my goal of life. I was a person who wanted people’s attention and recognition so much, and I thought I would be happy if I achieve that.” “But actually that did not make me happy. I lost Ahn Hee Yeon in the process.”
Hani also said that she had a hard time comparing herself to others by watching social media feeds. She said it didn’t stop even when she ranked first on music programs and shot several commercials. “One day, I found myself unhappy while taking a shower. And I had a strange thought that I would never be happy in the future. So I was so scared,” Hani recalled her memory.
Hani is part of Me
Fortunately, Hani was able to overcome the difficult time by seriously looking back on Ahn Hee Yeon, a human being. “That’s when I felt a full sense of satisfaction inside me as I learned who I truly was.” “EXID Hani is such a grateful name for me. But Hani is not everything to me, it is a precious part of me,” she said. “Now I’m doing a lot of things as Ahn Hee Yeon. I’m dating and studying. I’m writing eight reports and actually I’m about to die of overwork. I travel alone often and meditate every day. I’m also learning karate. And as an actor, I’m continuing to take lessons while filming, so I’m improving my skills.”
At last, she added “If you’re looking for your charm like I did in past, I hope my story helps you. You’re definitely enough as you are right now,” she said.
