[EPN Enpinow reporter Go Nari] Actress Han Da-gam announced on social media that she has legally changed her name, drawing attention.

On May 1, Han posted everyday photos to her account with the caption, “By the way, I’ve completely changed my name,” which prompted widespread interest.

Observers interpret the announcement to mean she has legally changed her given name from Han Eun-jung — the name she used when she debuted in 1999 — to Han Da-gam.

She previously altered her stage name in 2018 and explained the reasons for that change on a variety show.

On that broadcast, Han said she suffered a fall at age seven that damaged her spine and required an extended course of treatment.

She added that her health problems intensified in her twenties and that she continued to experience pain and discomfort even while working in the entertainment industry.

Recalling a visit to a temple, she said she was initially skeptical when a monk recommended changing her name but ultimately decided to do so — and that she is now the healthiest she has been.

Han drew significant attention when she married a businessman one year her senior in 2020.

She announced a later-in-life pregnancy and said she conceived after a single round of IVF.

She also noted that she had been preparing for this while continuing to work in theater.

She has received many well wishes since the pregnancy and continues to share updates about her life.
