Kim Hye-soo Covered Tuition for 15 People? Ha Ji-young Reveals Touching Story of 20-Year Bond

Broadcaster Ha Ji-young has revealed her special 20-year bond and a touching story involving actor Kim Hye-soo.

In a video uploaded to the YouTube channel "YouTube Ha Ji-young" yesterday (September 2), Ha Ji-young named actor Kim Hye-soo as the person she respects the most while talking with guests Haha and Kim Won-hyo.


"A video titled 'Kim Hye-soo Who Supported Ha Ji-young for 17 Years' was posted on YouTube recently," Ha began, recalling the period when she was struggling with her career path alone after stepping down as a reporter for SBS's Entertainment TV.

Ha shared that Kim Hye-soo had reached out to her first back then, recommending lectures to study film and music and opening up a path for learning.

Ha continued, "It was an expensive lecture attended by 15 people at the time, and I later found out that unni (Kim Hye-soo) had paid the entire tuition. For 20 years, she has never even spoken to me informally. She is someone I deeply respect and my universe," expressing profound admiration.

Ha added that the knowledge she gained from those lectures greatly helped her make a comeback as a professional event host.

Kim Hye-soo is well-known in the entertainment industry for her continuous good deeds. This latest heartwarming story—showing how her meticulous attention and quiet support served as a solid pillar of strength for a junior in despair—is drawing a warm response.
