Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be an internationally acclaimed model with your face on hundreds of magazine covers and posters?

The MBC film crew follows top model Han Hye-jin to show her day-to-day life in this Friday‘s episode of “I Live Alone.”

Han first made her modeling debut in 1999 for the Seoul International Fashion Collection, and during her 17-year career she has risen to the top of the modeling industry.

She has modeled for many of the top brands and designers in the world, and has walked on runways in New York, Paris and Italy.

Despite her achievements and reputation, Han reveals her real day-to-day single life without the excessive glamour.

Han woke up on the day of filming and ordered herself a bowl of sundaeguk (pork blood sausage soup) to cure her hangover. As she gobbled down her breakfast, she justified her ravenous appetite by explaining that it is her off-season. Her excuse is in question though, as there is an immense pile of delivery coupons in her kitchen.

Han proceeded to give a tour of the house, and revealed photos of herself during school, and even her report card. Han also reveals her diet plans and work-out routines as she candidly opens up about her life.

She continued with the tour and showed off her study room, where she prepares lectures for her juniors and writes her graduate school thesis. Han ends the day by ordering herself a serving of grilled eel as a night-time snack.

Not the glamourous lifestyle one would expect from one of Korea’s most famous top models, but Han sticks to her grassroots origins.

The full episode of “I Live Alone” airs on Friday at 11 p.m. on MBC.
