If you’ve been curious about what happened to the "Fan Ajumma" after her viral appearance, SBS’s hit show "The Day the Tail Chases the Tail" (affectionately known as "KkoKkoMu") is finally pulling back the curtain on her journey. This Thursday evening, August 8th, the program will air a special episode titled "Lost Name: Han Hye-kyung", focusing on the life of Han Hye-kyung—once known across the nation as the "Fan Ajumma"—after her illegal plastic surgery procedures gone wrong.
Inside the Episode: Han Hye-kyung’s Untold Struggles
For those who remember Han Hye-kyung’s shocking viral moment as the "Fan Ajumma", this episode delves deep into the aftermath of her dangerous cosmetic choices. What started as a dream to become a charismatic singer led her down a path of repeated illegal plastic surgeries, which eventually spiraled into hallucinations and delusions. She even resorted to injecting industrial silicone, paraffin oil, and soybean oil directly into her face, leaving her unrecognizable to even her own mother. Viewers will get an intimate look at her pain, as guest listeners actress Kim Hee-jung, actor Bae Myung-jin, and film director Bang Eun-jin share their heartfelt reactions to her story. Kim Hee-jung openly expressed her sympathy, saying, "It seems like her life has been so hard because of the side effects." Adding to the emotional depth, Han Hye-kyung’s older sister and brother-in-law will make a surprise appearance to share never-before-heard stories about her relentless pursuit of a singing career.
Park So-hyun’s Unexpected Past as a Ballerina
Beyond Han Hye-kyung’s story, the episode has another surprise in store for fans: broadcaster Park So-hyun, famous as the entertainment industry’s go-to gossip guru and "Idol Expert", is revealing her little-known past as a professional ballerina. At 19, she was a rising star who joined one of South Korea’s top ballet companies—until a sudden knee ligament tear forced her to abandon her lifelong dream. Park opened up about the struggle, saying, "I had no other dream besides ballet. It took me over a year and a half to let go of that dream," leaving audiences feeling deeply for her journey. As the beloved MC of "Capture the Moment: Such Things Happen in the World" for 27 years (including the viral segment that made Han Hye-kyung famous), Park also shared her personal connection to the "Fan Ajumma’s" story, noting, "Watching her chase her lost dream and start over made me cheer for her like it was my own story."
