Actress Han Ga-in revealed on her YouTube channel that she conceived her second son, Je-u, shortly after touching the belly of a Buddha statue at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. The actress, who married Yeon Jung-hoon in 2005, shared the anecdote while discussing her fitness routine and an amulet from the temple.

Actress Han Ga-in has revealed a mysterious anecdote regarding the conception of her second son. She shared that shortly after returning from visiting a temple where she touched the belly of a Buddha statue known to grant sons, she became pregnant. Even seven years later, she remembers the temple as a special place, a memory that holds deep meaning for the couple who waited a long time for their second child.

On the 5th, a video titled "168.7cm/52kg Han Ga-in's 10-minute abdominal exercise routine to maintain a flat stomach without excess fat" was released on the YouTube channel 'Free Woman Han Ga-in'. During the video, Han Ga-in introduced the abdominal exercises she performs for body management, sharing her workout routine and daily maintenance methods. As she showed the items she carries in her bag, personal stories naturally emerged.

Among the items, an amulet brought from Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan drew attention. "My manager bought it for me at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. I bought it to give to my mother, but I am the one using it," Han Ga-in said with a laugh. There was a special story behind why she ended up keeping the amulet intended for her mother.

Recalling that time, Han Ga-in said, "I went to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple when I wanted to have a second child." She explained, "There is a Buddha statue that grants sons at the entrance." She noted that she had a special experience at the temple she visited while waiting for her second child.

Han Ga-in revealed that she followed the example of other visitors who were touching the belly of the Buddha statue. "People were all touching it there. So I touched it, and as soon as I came back, Je-u was born immediately," she said. The explanation that she became pregnant with her second son, Je-u, after touching the Buddha's belly added a sense of fate to the story. "That's why it's a somewhat meaningful place for me," she added, explaining why she remembers the temple so specially.

The Haedong Yonggungsa Temple mentioned by Han Ga-in is located in Gijang County, Busan, and is famous for its unique scenery bordering the sea. The temple houses the 'Son-Granting Buddha', which is associated with the superstition of granting children, and is known as a place where people wishing for a son touch the belly of the statue to make a wish. Han Ga-in visited the site during the period she was waiting for her second child and has cherished it as a special memory after receiving the news of her pregnancy.

Han Ga-in married actor Yeon Jung-hoon in 2005. Eleven years after their marriage, in 2016, she gave birth to her first daughter, Je-i, and in 2019, she welcomed her second son, Je-u. Having become a mother of two since marriage, she continues to build new happiness in her daily life with her family.

Currently, Han Ga-in communicates with fans through her YouTube channel 'Free Woman Han Ga-in', revealing her daily life raising two children, family stories, and health management secrets.
