Volimo otkrivati nove pojedince koji svojim radom i autentičnošću ostavljaju trag u modnoj industriji. Jedan od takvih primjera je i Han Jing Jing, model čijem je usponu modna industrija u posljednjih nekoliko godina svjedočila.
Han Jing Jing postaje sve učestalije ime na stranicama najvažnijih modnih časopisa kao što su “Vogue” Koreja, “WKoreja”, “Harper’s Bazaar” Koreja, “Harper’s Bazaar” Vijetnam, “Harper’s Bazaar” Bugarska i “Elle” Tajland, a sada smo i mi imali priliku razgovarati s njom i otkriti sve o njezinom putu u modnoj industriji.
Na početku našeg razgovora, Han se prisjetila svojih početaka, ističući da je otkrila svoju ljubav prema kamerama tek nakon što je savladala početni strah.
“Uvijek me zanimalo kako se modeli mogu tako samouvjereno prikazati pred kamerama jer kad sam bila tinejdžerica, bojala sam se kamera i nikad se nisam osjećala spremno staviti sebe pod svjetla reflektora. Naučila sam puno od fotografa kojeg sam igrom slučaja upoznala u tinejdžerskim godinama”, govori nam Han, podsjećajući nas na to da je svaki početak prepun izazova i otkrića. Svoju karijeru, kako se prisjeća, započela je iz znatiželje, a danas je njezin put ispunjen raznolikošću i samopouzdanjem.
Kroz godine, Han je evoluirala kao model, usvajajući prirodan pristup prema poziranju: “Na početku sam bila opreznija oko toga kako bih pozirala i osjećala da su stvari bile strukturirane. Međutim, sada se više okrećem tome da stvari idu prirodno. Kroz taj proces, mislim da sam puno toga naučila i možda bi najveća lekcija bila uvijek vjerovati sebi na setu i nikad se ne bojati isprobati nove “poze”, samo treba slijediti svoje osjećaje“.
Han je također podijelila neka od svojih najzanimljivijih iskustava sa snimanja, ističući kako je snimanje solo naslovnice u ekstremnim uvjetima bilo posebno nezaboravno iskustvo.
“To je bilo tako nezaboravno jer sam na -20 stupnjeva nosila bluzu s suknjom i tresla sam se bez kontrole. Čak nam se i kamera smrznula te je prestala raditi. Ali mjesto je bilo tako prekrasno, osjećala sam se tako blagoslovljeno što snimam na takvom posebnom mjestu” opisala je.
Raspored modela razlikuje se od dana do dana i o gustim rasporedima snimanja, no Han je istaknula da je važno pronaći ravnotežu između profesionalnog i privatnog života, a svakodnevne rutine i užici poput ispijanja americana i večeri s prijateljima olakšavaju joj dane ispunjene poslovnim obvezama.
Danas se često govori o dosljednosti, pa smo i mi pitali Han koliko je njoj teško održati autentičnost u svijetu punom vanjskih pritisaka.
“Da bismo ostali vjerni sebi, moramo biti samosvjesni, poznavati svoje vrijednosti i granice te imati hrabrost boriti se za ono u što vjerujemo.”
Kad je riječ o izazovima s kojima se susreće u industriji, Han je istaknula važnost prihvaćanja promjena i pozitivan stav: “Sve je neprekidna prilika za učenje, nove se osobe neprestano pojavljuju i trebali bismo biti otvoreniji prema neuspjesima ili promjenama. Također, uvijek bismo trebali biti pozitivni i strastveni prema onome što radimo i kako radimo.“
Han je također otvoreno govorila o pritiscima vezanim uz izgled, ističući da su očekivanja društva velika, ali i naglasila da je najvažnije biti sretan sa sobom.
“Mislim da svi koji rade pred kamerama uvijek osjećaju neki pritisak i da osjećaju strah da ne izgledaju dobro, ali kao što sam već rekla – budi dobar prijatelj sa svojim tijelom i prihvati ga“, savjetovala je Han.
Na kraju razgovora, Han je otkrila svoje planove za budućnost, ističući da je trenutačno fokusirana na pripremu svog albuma. “Trenutačno radim na pripremi svog albuma i to je nešto na čemu sam jako fokusirana u ovom trenutku.”
ENGLISH VERSION
We love discovering new individuals who leave their mark on the fashion industry through their work and authenticity. One such example is Han Jing Jing, a model whose rise the fashion industry has witnessed in the past few years.
Han Jing Jing is becoming an increasingly familiar name in the pages of major fashion magazines like Vogue Korea, WKorea, Harper’s Bazaar Korea, Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, Harper’s Bazaar Bulgaria, and Elle Thailand, and now we had the opportunity to talk to her and discover everything about her journey in the fashion industry.
At the beginning of our conversation, Han recalled her beginnings, emphasizing that she discovered her love for cameras only after overcoming initial fear.
“I was always intrigued by how models could confidently present themselves in front of cameras because when I was a teenager, I was afraid of cameras and never felt ready to put myself under the spotlight. I learned a lot from a photographer I happened to meet during my teenage years,” Han tells us, reminding us that every beginning is full of challenges and discoveries. She recalls that she started her career out of curiosity, and today her journey is filled with diversity and confidence.
Over the years, Han has evolved as a model, adopting a natural approach to posing: “In the beginning, I was more cautious about how I posed and felt that things were structured. However, now I lean more towards letting things flow naturally. Through this process, I think I have learned a lot and perhaps the biggest lesson would be always to trust yourself on set and never be afraid to try new ‘poses’, just follow your instincts.”
Han also shared some of her most interesting shooting experiences, highlighting how shooting a solo cover in extreme conditions was a particularly unforgettable experience.
“It was so memorable because I wore a blouse and a skirt at -20 degrees and was shaking uncontrollably. Even our camera froze and stopped working. But the place was so beautiful, I felt so blessed to be shooting in such a special location,” she described.
The schedule of a model varies from day to day and with dense shooting schedules, but Han emphasized the importance of finding a balance between professional and personal life, and everyday routines and pleasures like drinking americano and evenings with friends make her days filled with business commitments easier.
Consistency is often talked about today, so we also asked Han how difficult it is for her to maintain authenticity in a world full of external pressures.
“In order to stay true to ourselves, we must be self-aware, know our values and boundaries, and have the courage to fight for what we believe in.”
When it comes to the challenges she faces in the industry, Han emphasized the importance of embracing change and maintaining a positive attitude: “Everything is a continuous opportunity for learning, new people constantly emerge, and we should be more open to failures or changes. Also, we should always be positive and passionate about what we do and how we do it.”
Han also spoke openly about the pressures related to appearance, highlighting that society’s expectations are high, but also emphasizing that the most important thing is to be happy with oneself.
“I think everyone who works in front of cameras always feels some pressure and fears not looking good, but as I already said – be a good friend to your body and accept it,” Han advised.
At the end of the conversation, Han revealed her plans for the future, emphasizing that she is currently focused on preparing her album.
“I am currently working on preparing my album, and that is something I am very focused on at the moment”.
