It really hurts to remove, like seriously. I still have some, but I removed them to a point where they wouldn’t interfere with work. These days, the technology is so good. There are tattoo stickers and things like that, so I use those to make up for it.

She decided removing them was the way to go because, when she started acting, they “felt like a disadvantage.” Knowing she can always get inked again, Han So Hee thought, “it made sense to remove them for work.”

I couldn’t wear dresses [with the tattoos]. There’s diversity in the characters I play, but as you know, having tattoos on my arms felt like a disadvantage in that sense, so I removed them. At the time, I thought I could get them back later, so for now, it made sense to remove them for work. And honestly, it hurt a lot.

Project Y, starring her best friend Jeon Jong Seo, is set to be released on January 21, 2026.
