While many people thought the men were harassing her, some claimed that they were her friends and being playful.
Han So-hee is one of the most popular actresses from South Korea at the moment. Her Instagram account boasts of 17.2 million followers. Any post she shares, gets thousands of likes within hours. But her latest Instagram video has sparked much concern among her fans. The video shows Han So-hee in a bus, which is rare for an A-list celebrity to do. She is seen gazing out of the window. In the background, a group of men can be heard laughing. One person tries to get into the frame before retreating to his seat. The Nevertheless star appears to be ignoring whatever is happening inside the bus.
Han So-hee shared this clip on Instagram without a caption. A song, Art Museum by artist RIO is superimposed on the clip. It got over 8 lakh likes within hours.
The video could have been an aesthetic shot of Han So-hee pensively looking out of the bus and admiring the view. However, the men’s presence is causing a buzz. After this video was posted on June 3, many fans wondered if the men were mocking and harassing her. They thought that the person who tried to come within the camera frame might be invading her personal space. A number of comments speculated that the men in the video were “foreigners”.

The foreigners are so rude— Амгаa (@4MG44) July 4, 2024
On the other hand, many people claimed that she was not being harassed and instead the men in the video were her friends. These fans argued that Han So-hee would not share a video in which she was being harassed on Instagram. News18 could not verify which claim was true. It would be interesting to see Han So-hee address the issue and put all speculations to rest.

Don’t know. One of them just seems to be looking at the camera behind her and doing the peace sign. The whole thing is ambiguous, could be misinterpreted because it was fast & we couldn’t see much. Thinks to me she posted the clip without thinking much of it.— Hajimemashite⁷ (@ytyorobun) July 4, 2024
