Shaman's reading of Ha Ji-won's 'gisaeng fortune' surprises actress
During a spiritual reading on YouTube, shaman Baekma Janggun reveals surprising insights into actress Ha Ji-won's personality and strict self-management.
As actress Ha Ji-won revealed her height and weight, a shaman's interpretation of her personality and life as an actress has become a hot topic. In particular, the sight of Ha Ji-won maintaining strict self-management even at age 48, coupled with the story that she has lived suppressing her emotions for a long time, drew significant attention.

On the 3rd, a video was released on the YouTube channel '26-Class Jiwon-iyo,' featuring Ha Ji-won visiting the shaman Baekma Janggun for a spiritual reading. Upon meeting Ha Ji-won, Baekma Janggun expressed admiration for her self-management, asking, "How did you manage all of this?"
Regarding Ha Ji-won's gaze, he interpreted it by saying, "The light in her eyes is strong, and she is a person with quick intuition." He also analyzed that while Ha Ji-won observes those around her meticulously, she has a personality that does not easily reveal her own judgments or emotions.
In particular, an interpretation followed that her profession as an actress is suppressing her original nature. Baekma Janggun stated, "Because she is a public figure, she lives suppressing herself without expressing it," adding, "An actor is someone who must live with a well held in their chest." Ha Ji-won agreed, saying, "The profession of an actor makes me cultivate myself."
Baekma Janggun defined Ha Ji-won as someone close to a free spirit. He explained that she was born with a temperament to live freely, wandering through mountains and fields, but by choosing the profession of a celebrity, she lives by conforming to her social image and professional responsibilities. Ha Ji-won could not hide her surprise at this.
He continued with a joke, saying, "Sometimes, the fire boils inside," suggesting that there is considerable emotional energy within Ha Ji-won. Ha Ji-won agreed with the interpretation that while she has a calm and soft image on the outside, she does not easily express her emotions in reality.
Baekma Janggun also described Ha Ji-won's fortune (Saju) as a "celebrity fortune, a gisaeng fortune, or a shaman fortune." The term 'gisaeng fortune' mentioned here is merely an expression based on the shaman's traditional interpretation of destiny and is not a concept that proves objective character or fate. However, he added interest to the broadcast by linking it to the destiny of a celebrity who must reveal their presence before the stage and the public.
He analyzed that Ha Ji-won is the type of person who feels satisfied only when she is constantly doing something, and while she is not overly greedy, she craves freedom in her heart. In particular, regarding the interpretation that she is someone who does not easily confide in others even when she is hurting but handles things alone, Ha Ji-won confessed, "Even enduring has become a habit."
This part overlaps strangely with the acting career Ha Ji-won has walked. Since her debut in 1996, she has established herself as a top-tier actress, showing entirely different faces in every work regardless of genre or character, such as 'Damo,' 'What Happened in Bali,' 'Hwang Jini,' and 'Secret Garden.' She is also well known as an actress who has combined intense physical training and character research while moving across action, melodrama, historical dramas, and modern dramas.
In the broadcast, there was also talk about Ha Ji-won's recent dance and singing videos. Baekma Janggun, having seen Ha Ji-won's talent for dancing and singing, brought laughter by saying, "You've aged quite a bit, but how can you shake like that?"
The most talked-about scene occurred during the process of asking for her physical measurements. When Baekma Janggun asked for her height and weight, Ha Ji-won replied, "165cm, 47kg." At this, the shaman burst out with a profanity in surprise and described Ha Ji-won as a "human hairtail," causing Ha Ji-won to burst into laughter.
Rather than the numbers themselves, the point to note is Ha Ji-won's self-management, maintaining high activity as an actress even in her late 40s. However, one cannot judge health status or physical appropriateness based solely on height and weight. The essence lies closer to the professional characteristics of an actress who has managed her body, acting, and public image for a long time, rather than the buzz generated in the broadcast.
Ultimately, the most interesting part of this spiritual reading broadcast is not just the provocative expression 'gisaeng fortune' or the number 47kg. It is the contrast of Ha Ji-won, who has always existed as a solid and flexible actress before the public, being someone who might actually crave freedom while swallowing her emotions inside. While there is no need to accept the shaman's interpretation as fact, the broadcast left a significant impression by making one think about the gap between the image actress Ha Ji-won has created and her life as a real human being.
