Kang Han-Na: Who better to end January plus it's her.... 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 37𝒕𝒉 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚 post!!!!
That first pic has led off a post five times and why not as Han-Na's sultriness is hard impossible to top! Final post for this first month of 2026 and while 31 posts wasn't a huge amount I think this was the best month ever for posts and am talking about their quality! Have had a nice mix of actresses, gravure models, J-Pop Idols and many included some of my all time favorites. Such as Han-Na 😍 and this is the second post this week to celebrate someone hitting the age of 37, in an odd twist the other was for another Korean actress. Last week did a birthday post for a massive Nogi fave who hit the age of 34, if things work out will have a post on February 5th for another massive favorite who will be turning 32. Soon the amount of women who are 30+ in age will be more than of those in their twenties but am hoping to have a post around February 2nd for a current member of Morning Musume.
The last four years have seen so few posts for Korean actresses but have been able to do a few for Han-Na and her last was in October. I am completely ga-ga over her and it's not just because of her looks but have gone on record and still do that she's the most attractive woman I've ever posted about. Coming in second would be a retired Keya member and even though Han-Na 😍 will be forty in age three years from now she truly does look better than ever! There's not much I can add in about Han-Na's life or career, when a woman doesn't have many posts I tend to make them quite large so any info you're curious about is in her dozen previous posts. But like most Korean actresses Han-Na first went to college and she did get a masters in Theater, she never began acting until 2013 when she was 24 in age. I think it helps so much attending college, have noticed Korean actresses are much more interesting and mature than the ones from Japan and a huge reason for that is attending a university. Han-Na is a perfect example of that, she seems like such a fun woman and someone you'd love to be around yet though now 37 in age she's never been married or ever serious with someone.
Gulp, those above were from the 2015 movie "Empire of Lust" and of course I had to edit those screenshots. It doesn't happen often when a huge favorite of mine doffs their attire and the word Perfect wasn't good enough to describe Han-Na in that film!!!! A birthday post isn't much different than any other post and just try to make them larger. Today's post will be a biggie but am holding back a few things as I'd like to have more posts for Han-Na coming up along with a few other Korean women. Easier said than done as that's a tough group to do posts for consistently but then again I do enjoy those kinds of challenges for women who I adore immensely such as Han-Na.😍
Have a little bit of a lot of things for today, some photos have been in previous posts but bet most of you reading this have never seen them or had forgotten about them. But do have around 65 photos which are brand new for here, none are as seductive as those movie screenshots but to me most deserve a grade of 100/10!!!! Such as many of the ones below which are from Han-Na's IG page, the top two were in her last post but were so terrific had to have them again. The three after that are from August and are also close to being unbeatable, can say the same for picture #6 and the pair after that dressed in a suit were from New Year's day.
Have a few older birthday photos of Han-Na below, many have been seen in previous posts but four are new for here. Did say above what a fun woman Han-Na appears to be, she always seems to be having a good time.... instead of three wishes the Genie in a lamp only needs to give me one.... guess what that wish would be?!!!!
Just discovered that Han-Na did some modeling work for the WalaLand site back in 2024 and think she also had some sort of column for them. So will have more of those photos in future posts and doesn't she look too good to believe in these pics?! Han-Na 😍 sure does and at the time was 35 in age, isn't she so much more alluring and better looking than gals a decade younger?
Don't know how I missed it at the time but Han-Na was in a mini drama that began in December, more info about it below but do know of it now! Her previous 2025 drama was "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" which aired from August 23rd until September 28th. It had twelve episodes and so many Korean dramas these days have that amount but wish some would return to sixteen and luckily the third season of "Taxi Driver" did. I didn't care for the first two shows and last night decided to give the drama one more try, glad I did! For it was so much better than the first two shows and what helped was that Han-Na had so much screen time, an episode is about 75 minutes in length and she must have ben on screen for forty of those minutes.
The series is about a present day female Korean chef who somehow goes back in time to the Joseon period, am thinking this took place in the 1500's. Yeon was the chef's name and she tries to please the King Lee with her present day cooking.... she better or her head may be chopped off! Which would please Han-Na's character Kang Mok-Ju to no end, she and the chef finally met up in this third episode. Kang is a very scheming woman yet a beautiful one who only wants the King for herself yet also vying for her attention is the grand prince Je-Seon who had freed Kang from prison. A paragraph or two is not nearly enough time to discuss all that took place in this third episode but very glad I gave this show another chance. It's not that these kinds of shows are bad because they're not but I've just never been a big fan of period dramas and that goes for the Japanese shows too. Have some screenshots below of Han-Na from this episode and doesn't she just look so glittering?!
Did have a few edited screenshots from the 2015 film "Empire of Lust" earlier in the post. Have a few more pics from it below and the movie itself was a decent one with much action, like the above drama it was set hundreds of years ago but it's easier to watch a two hour movie than a fourteen hour TV drama. After the pics is a trailer for the movie and there are others on YT.
It's so difficult finding decent and large magazine spreads featuring Korean actresses, Han-Na has appeared in more than most others though like most spreads they're way too small. But below is one that had never been posted before which is from the July 2019 issue of Singles, it's both a web and hard copy magazine.... even in B&W Han-Na still gives my imagination such a work out!!!!
How about one more oldie but goldie which is from the July 2015 edition of Oh Boy, however once again the spread is too tiny. One other difference from Japan is that you never see Korean actresses have photobooks, not even ones that don't feature gravure pics or is it a case of me not noticing them?
All of the above pics get a grade of 100/10 from me but where Han-Na really shines is at events, I can't believe how stupendous she looks at them! Below are photos from her last event which took place on December 22nd to promote her new drama "Cashero", eight episodes were released at once on December 26th. This was the drama I mentioned above that I had somehow not noticed Han-Na was in and her role was fairly large. But least now I'm aware of the show and though the reviews for it are so-so at best will check it out soon but have such a backlog of dramas to watch. Among them is her 2024 series "Frankly Speaking" and Han-Na had the lead female role in it but there's so many dramas and so little time for me to view all of them! But least I can view scorching photos of Han-Na like she had at the 'Cashero" event and I can only think of one other women that has better legs than Han-Na who is a tallish woman as her height is 168 cm or about 66 inches.
Will end off here, as terrific as those above photos are these somehow top them. Have posted many of these pics before but this batch below are my all time photos from an event, no words have been created to describe Han-Na's 😍 perfection!!!! This set is from November 29, 2022 and the MAMA ceremony, it's a musical awards show for all of Asia and it took place in Osaka. Han-Na is no musician or don't think she is but was a popular radio host from 2021-24, at the show she did present an award and if your heart can take it after the dazzling pics is a video from the show.... my heart couldn't take it so had to view ten seconds at a time..... WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!
