Han So Hee Accused of Having 'Celebrity Disease' After Viral Paris Fashion Week Video

A video featuring the "My Name" actress went viral after it showed her encounter with an audience member. In a video uploaded on TikTok, the actress was at the after party of the luxury jewelry brand Boucheron for Paris Fashion Week 2024.

To recall, Han So Hee serves as the first Korean global ambassador of the brand. As part of her role as the brand ambassador, the 29-year-old star engages with the photographers and media at the after party.

However, an unexpected reaction from Han So Hee surprised the netizens. In one short clip, the South Korean star shouted, "Please be quiet!", with an assertive command towards an audience member.

After that, the environment calmed down a bit, and this was where Han So Hee posed for the camera. The incident immediately went viral on various platforms, criticizing the actress' attitude.

At some point, others accused Han So Hee of having a "celebrity disease," which means a public figure becomes snobbish, taking their fame and attention for granted.
