Han HyeJin "Get Brazilian waxing for a Bikini"

On August 12, a video was posted on Han Hye-jin's personal YouTube channel, "Han Hye Jin Han Hye Jin," showing her going on vacation to Taean, Chungcheongnam-do, with webtoon artist Kian84 and actor Lee Si-eon.

In the video, Lee Si-eon asked Han Hye-jin, "I heard there’s a rumor that you’re going to swim in Taean." Han Hye-jin replied, "Of course, I’m going to get in the water. It’s a vacation." When Lee Si-eon asked if she was going to swim too, Han Hye-jin responded, "Yes, I brought a bikini."

Lee Si-eon then joked, "She’s really obsessed with her YouTube. She’s definitely not going to swim in the sea." Han Hye-jin replied, "I got a Brazilian waxing to wear a bikini." Lee Si-eon humorously added, "Don’t wear a bikini carelessly. Park Na-rae is coming," which made everyone laugh.

Brazilian waxing to remove perineal hair may cause dermatitis

Many people, like Han Hye-jin, get Brazilian waxing during the vacation season. Brazilian waxing removes hair from the pubic area and is believed to help with unpleasant odors and itching. However, pubic hair has protective functions. It helps prevent sweat, dust, and bacteria from entering the vagina and protects the skin from physical irritation. Removing it isn’t always necessary and can sometimes lead to issues like vaginitis or skin irritation.

Brazilian waxing typically involves applying warm wax to the skin, allowing it to harden, and then peeling it off. This process can damage the sensitive skin of the pubic area and may cause infections, such as folliculitis or abscesses.

Waxing products often contain chemicals that can cause chemical burns, allergies, or contact dermatitis. The physical removal of hair can also lead to redness, pigmentation changes, or folliculitis.

Practice in a hygienic environment and seek medical attention if you experience side effects

To avoid complications, Brazilian waxing should be done in a clean environment. Ensure that the waxing products are not reused and that the technician wears gloves. After waxing, the skin may become sensitive, so it is important to monitor for any signs of injury or infection. If any issues arise, seek medical attention promptly to avoid severe scarring, skin necrosis, or sepsis.
