[Sports Today Reporter Im Si-ryeong] Veteran actress Ha Ji-won is stepping into campus life as a member of the Class of 2026.
JTBC Digital Studio’s ‘Class of 2026: Ji-won,’ which premieres at 6 p.m. on the 19th, follows Ha Ji-won as she returns to university as a Class of 2026 freshman, connects with Gen Z students, and immerses herself in campus life. As her first solo web-variety show in years, the series has viewers eager to see a fresh side of the beloved actress.
The episode opens with Ha Ji-won’s entrance ceremony. She enrolls in Kyung Hee University’s College of Hotel and Tourism, Department of Culinary & Food Design — a program famed for its scenic campus and for producing top chefs, including Michelin two-star chefs Lee Jun and Kwon Woo-jung. Audiences are curious to see how Ha will navigate student life in such a culinary-focused environment.
At new-student orientation, Ha turned heads by introducing herself with her given name: \”Hello, I’m Jeon Hae-rim.\” Her momentary shyness quickly faded as she slipped into easy conversation, displaying the warm, affable presence fans know her for.
Ha dives into campus culture as a true Class of 2026 freshman. She joins classmates in the processional — one of the ceremony’s highlights — and bonds with them on the spot. Afterward, she stops by the campus bookstore, tries on Kyung Hee-branded apparel, and laughs, \”I really feel like a freshman.\”
The actress continues her on-campus adventures with an impromptu lunch alongside upperclassmen she’d only just met. Not department seniors, the group shares beer over Chinese food and enjoys relaxed, animated conversation — leaving viewers wondering how the chance meeting came about.
JTBC Digital Studio’s ‘Class of 2026: Ji-won,’ chronicling Ha Ji-won’s experiment as a freshman, premieres at 6 p.m. on the 19th on the show’s YouTube channel.
