[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Ham Yeon-ji, the eldest daughter of Ham Young-jun, chairman of the food company 'Ottogi,' opened up about her concerns regarding the image of being a third-generation chaebol.

On the 23rd, MBC Every1's entertainment program 'Video Star' aired a special episode titled 'Clarifiers Special! More Misunderstandings?' featuring guests Ham Yeon-ji, actress Kim Sun-kyung, Byun Jung-soo, and Cha Jae-i.

During the broadcast, MC Sandara Park asked Ham Yeon-ji, "You have a lot of money and live well, so I'm curious why you do musicals."

Ham Yeon-ji replied, "I get that question a lot. It has been my dream since I was young, I like it, and I have kept putting in effort, so I do it because I enjoy it."

Kim Sun-kyung explained, "I happened to watch a performance and saw Ham Yeon-ji. After learning about the situation, my immediate thought was, 'If I were Yeon-ji, I wouldn't do it.' I think I would have found another way, but she came this way because she had passion."

Ham Yeon-ji confessed, "People often misunderstand me based on the chaebol image shown in dramas. When people meet me for the first time, they think I'm 'aloof' or 'elegant.' But in reality, I am quite pathetic and timid."
