Kang Han-Na: Will she ever have a chance to become....



 .... Nao's number one? Hmmmm, that's something I'd like to see her battle for but think the odds are sadly against her but one never knows. As I've said on occasion it's just so much more difficult to do posts for Korean actresses versus their counterparts from Japan. Actresses from there have so many more activities such as appearing in magazines, modeling, promoting products and such plus a few other things. That's not the case in Korea unless you're extremely popular and it has gotten worse this past year. So though I may prefer Korean actresses and overall they do look better to me their lack of opportunities really hurts them here. But then again they may not mind as Korean actresses do make a larger salary as their dramas are usually twice as long as ones from Japan. Nothing I haven't mentioned before but have really missed doing posts for some of my bigger faves from the country.


 Hmmmm.... does that mean I can no longer think of her as a Goddess? Well, not all Korean actresses have seen a massive decrease in posts as this is Han-Na's ninth post since October and fourth for the 'Nao Year' which goes from December until November. So it appears she'll easily reach six posts to qualify for the yearly faves list and will be the only Koran actress to do so. Last year Han-Na finished 11th on the list and it would have been much higher had I began posting about her sooner but least that's meant there's been a huge amount of older activities to get to. Not a lot of newish things for today and the reasons were explained in the beginning but have fifty pics that have never been seen here. Korean actress posts aren't all that heavily viewed but Han-Na's have been and she seems to have become a fave of many viewers and is easily the most popular Korean actress I post about.



 To me there may be no more attractive woman around than Han-Na and especially since she cut her hair last October for the "Start-Up" drama. She always looked perfect up until then but somehow that level rose even more. Her new drama began earlier this week and have some info on it further on down. That first pic in the post is one you've seen before but have it to compare to some new drama pics, first off let's start off with some recent IG ones.









 In January 2020 Han-Na began hosting a radio show called 'FM Cool' which has become popular and she even won an award for it last year. There's always many pics of her hosting the show but the quality of them is just too low or I would post a massive amount of them.






 Of course there's no new mag spreads so have an oldie that was in her first post, a real oldie as it's from the April 2014 issue of  IZE. Han-Na is one of the older woman I post often about as she turned 32 in January but like the other 'elderly gals(!)' looks better with age.








 Have noticed Han-Na is slowly letting her hair grow a bit longer, she'll always look perfect to me though she does look better with it shorter. That new drama is titled "My Roommate is a Gumiho", it started on May 26th. The day before there was a press conference for it but events these days in Korea are much more subdued and don't last all that long. Here's a short video that has English suns of her promoting the show: Subbed drama promo









 Han-Na doesn't have the lead role and don't know if she ever has in a drama. But she probably has the third largest role and seeing as how episodes for Korean dramas are an hour or longer least it means she gets plenty of screen time and her character is an important one. In Korea Gumiho means Fox. The main story is of a man who is 999 years old(!) but has the body of a human though he's a fox. He's working as a college professor and there's a way for a fox to become a permanent human by collecting human energy in a bead. But somehow the magical bead was swallowed by a college student who is female, until they can figure out a way to get it out her body they ended up living together. That first episode was one of the better shows I've seen in a long time so will end up watching the entire sixteen episode series. However may wait until it finishes it's run as I'm already viewing four dramas and there's just not enough time to watch everything I'd like to.

 In the drama Han-Na plays the character of Hye-Sun who is also a Fox and isn't she!!!! Sun-Hye is over 700 years old and four years ago she became a full fledged human but kind of a daffy one. She knows the professor who lost his magical bead and it seems he thinks so lowly of Sun-Hye. Won't go into too much detail as I will be recapping the series but who knows when, may also do some posts for the lead actress. Have some ultra sweltering screenshots from the first episode and sweltering may be an understatement, wow! Compare these pics to the very first one in the post which was from 2015, they're very similar or at least the top is. Han-Na's hair is longer but she must be wearing extensions.


















 There must be about five events from the past few years that haven't been posted yet and as I've said so often the pics of Korean actresses at events are tough to top. So will end off with some sparking ones of Han-Na from November 6, 2018 and her appearance on the red carpet at the 'MGA MBC Plus X Music Awards' show and following them is a short video which you don't want to miss.
