According to Han Ga In’s agency, BH Entertainment, the mother-to-be is currently solely focused on prenatal care since she is in the early stages of her pregnancy. A rep sated, “Her husband, Yeon Jung Hoon, was very happy with Han Ga In’s pregnancy, but because it is still in the early stages, he had only told their family and close friends.” According to the agency, Han Ga In and Yeon Jung Hoon were cautious in announcing the news because it is still early and because of the ferry tragedy. The news of the couple’s expectancy was first leaked to the media through industry insiders.

Graceful and educated, those are the first impression of Han Ga-in. As a successful celebrity in K-Pop industry, Han Ga-in also thinks that she also has to gain success in pursuing her education. She proved it by completing her education in the field of Tourism Management at Kyung Hee University with very satisfactory results. This beautiful Korean actress who was born in 1982 had worked in the entertainment industry since she was in high school. Her professional career started in 2002, when she acted in airline company commercial. Shortly after that, Han Ga-in became known as the "Korean advertising queen" because of her charms while promoting various products on television.

As a high school student, Han Ga-in appeared on a TV quiz show and was also captured in footage of interviews with other students. Entertainment bigwigs spotted her in the news clip and immediately went to her school to offer her a part. She debuted in an Asiana Airlines commercial in 2002, and was cast in the KBS2 drama Sunshine Hunting. KBS Drama Awards named her best new actress in 2003 for Yellow Handkerchief, and best actress for Terms of Endearment in 2004. She soon became one of the most sought-after faces in the TV commercial industry. But despite her early success, Han struggled to overcome her image as strictly a pretty face rather than a serious actress. Over the past decade of drama appearances, the popular actress repeatedly played familiar characters and her performances failed to wow audiences. After Witch Yoo Hee wrapped in 2007, Han publicly criticized the director and writers for the drama's poor quality. She went on a three-year hiatus afterwards, merely starring in advertisements.
