Year 2013 also marked the 10th anniversary of Han’s debut. Though he is now one of the most wanted actors in the musical theatre scene, he only became interested in acting after failing to score well on the Suneung ― the Korean equivalent of the SAT ― for three consecutive years. He found acting almost therapeutic in many ways, especially after his struggles with the competitive education system, and wants to think of acting as his destiny. Calling himself an “extreme introvert”, he believes it is the very essence of acting ― becoming someone else ― that liberates him and makes his acting career possible.

On July 25, 2014, Han successfully held his concert Han Ji Sang Premium Concert in Tokyo at Tokyo Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
