Han So Hee has found herself in the hot waters once again following the "transit romance" controversy with Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri.

Netizens are now expressing doubts regarding Han So Hee's claim that she was accepted into a French art university but chose not to enroll due to financial constraints preventing her from affording the deposit required for one semester.

Two months ago, Han So Hee appeared on Nah Yung Suk's YouTube channel with Park Seo Jun to promote their new drama, 'Gyeongseong Creature.' During the interview, Han So Hee discussed her past and how she entered the entertainment industry.

She explained that she debuted at the age of 25 and explained before she debuted, she planned to go to school in France. She explained, "I got into (art) school too, but I couldn't go. I got into a school in France. But I had to have 60 million KRW (~44,645 USD) in my bank account to get a visa. But I didn't have 60 million KRW at the time." 

She elaborated, "The policy was because there were a lot of illegal immigrants." Producer Na explained, "So when you go study abroad, you must submit proof of your bank balance," to make sure you have the funds to pay for tuition.

Han So Hee further explained that she didn't have the money at the time and decided to do a TV commercial for RITZ crackers to earn money for her tuition. She explained that's how she got into the advertisement industry as a model and realized she was able to earn a lot of money as she received 20 million KRW (15,000 USD) for one commercial.

However, one YouTuber raised questions and explained that the process of getting accepted into a school in France and receiving a visa is different from what Han So Hee claimed.

The YouTuber explained, "Han So Hee said she was planning to go between the time she was 15 to 20-years-old, so it's based on the standard from 2014 to 2019. In France, it doesn't matter what school you got into, whether it's an art school or a private school of any major. You just need to prove that you have 9.6 million KRW (7,142.49 USD) to have no issues with receiving a student visa. This is all marked on the official website of the Korean embassy in France."

In the video, he also explained the acceptance process of schools in France to raise suspicions about Han So Hee's claims. The YouTuber claimed that he plans to report this to an investigative program for a further look into Han So Hee's claims.

The suspicion quickly spread to online communities where Korean netizens began to share their thoughts and comments on the matter. One Korean netizen speculated that this matter would be investigated by the investigative program 'Crime Chief' and would be uncovered soon.

Korean netizens commented, "There is no proof that she was lying about this. Why do people have to go this far? This is such a creepy way to harass someone," "Now all people think about is how to criticize Han So Hee. Why are people so low, I think so many people are just jealous of her," "But back when she said she needed 60 million KRW to get a visa, people questioned her claims. So this is not the first time," "Why are people so harsh to Han So Hee?" "If Han So Hee really got accepted into a school in France, she would have appeared on programs like 'Problematic Men' and spoke French. It's so charming if you speak French, yet she didn't use it to promote herself?" "People are just jealous of our pretty Han So Hee," "Now celebrities have to prove they were accepted into a school even if they didn't go?" and "To be honest, it takes a lot of funds to prepare to study abroad for art. Also, you have to be fluent in French (to go to school in France). So, I thought it was weird when I first saw that video."
