{Pann} Interview with Han So-hee when she was a 22-year-old Musinsa model

Editor: Han Daun|Photographer: Jo Seokhyun|Designer: Jo Seo

LOOKBOOK MAN Name: Lee So-hee Age: 22 MUSINSA.COM Occupation: Freelance model. Actually, I am an art major specializing in painting and installation art. I am always drawing in my daily life. Currently, I am preparing for studying abroad in France, so I am constantly busy preparing my portfolio even in my daily life.

"When introducing myself as a "freelance model," most people tend to feel intimidated. However, modeling is something I started at the beginning of this year, only because of requests from close friends. In reality, I am a student majoring in fine arts. Before this, I diligently earned money like my peers, working as an art academy instructor and mural artist. I hope members of the Musinsa community remember me not as "model Lee So-hee" but as "a peer who loves art." Even in my daily life, I stick to comfortable clothes. The white sweatshirt So-hee is wearing costs 49,000 won from BELL.A."

"As you may know, systems involving innovation and transition didn't suit me. Since then, I gave up on domestic universities and started building my portfolio. At first, I didn't even know the topic and dreamed of Central Saint Martins (University), but when I heard that I needed tens of millions of won a year, I chose Bozar (Brussels). Since I wasn't attending a domestic university, I couldn't get a loan."

"The parts that were edited out in the entertainment show was how I required 20-30 million won in my bank account. Immediately, the cost of living and housing became overwhelmingly insufficient."

"Since I started again at the age of 20, I had to pour all the money I earned from part-time jobs into studying abroad. It was like pouring water into a leaky bucket."

[+228,-6] So, you majored in art without even knowing the proper procedures for domestic college entrance exams...? And you wanted to go abroad because you couldn't get into a domestic university, but you were too lazy to even look into it... It seems like you were just full of superficial appearances, haha. Even your part-time job was drawing murals, haha. And you said you needed at least intermediate-level French and a Korean university entrance certificate to get into Bozar, without even properly checking... It's ridiculous, haha. You just kept talking about going abroad here and there since then, it seems.

[+224,-6] Looks like she needs therapy.

[+208,-2] She didn't even go to college, but majored in art...? She went to the arts high school as a transfer student, but didn't even attend for 3 years...

[+152,-40] I am tired of talking about Han So-hee now. Let us just stop mentioning her since I do not want to even consume her.

[+87,-5]...I'm the same age as HSH and everyone knows I'm from a well-known art school. Even so, I tried mural painting as part-time work just once back then, and even that was quite demanding, like submitting a portfolio. Even if you like a university, you're just treated as an ordinary student, so how on earth does a high school graduate end up doing mural painting part-time work? (There's an overflow of high school students.) Logically, if they're entrusting their walls to someone for that expensive fee, wouldn't they usually hire an experienced professional?...
