Before that, she said she had to struggle to make a living to feed her passion: ” There is no job that I have not experienced, from working as a server at a cafe, convenience store or bakery. There was a time when I didn’t have enough money to buy monthly train or car tickets because my finances were too tight. I also had to rent rented rooms where I didn’t see the sun, and my clothes wouldn’t dry for weeks “.

During that time, Han Byeol had to quit her part-time job many times to focus on practicing for auditions. The actress also revealed that she had almost spent all her savings before hearing the news of being accepted.
