According to the personnel confirmation request submitted by the government, Han, who currently serves as the Minister of SMEs and Startups, declared personal assets of 30.6 billion won in real estate, 10.32 billion won in deposits, and 2.07 billion won in stocks, amounting to a total of 25.08 billion won.
This figure represents an increase of 2.77 billion won compared to the reported amount of approximately 22.31 billion won at the end of last year.
Han is a multi-property owner, with two houses: a single-family home in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, valued at 1.5 billion won, and another in Yangseo-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, valued at 630 million won. She also holds a 10% stake in a single-family home in Gwangsa-dong, Yangju, worth 6.97 million won.
Among the properties reported last year, she sold an apartment in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, realizing a profit of nearly 3 billion won after 20 years of ownership.
In addition to residential properties, Han reported ownership of an officetel in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, valued at approximately 2.07 billion won, a commercial facility in Yeonkeun-dong, Jongno-gu, worth about 1.4 billion won, and land in Yangseo-myeon and Gwangsa-dong, Yangju.
Her stock holdings include significant investments in Tesla (approximately 1.29 billion won), Apple (about 420 million won), Palantir (around 120 million won), and NVIDIA (approximately 146 million won). However, Han plans to divest her properties and overseas stocks before the National Assembly's confirmation hearing to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
Additionally, she reported a leasehold on an apartment in Naesu-dong, Jongno-gu, valued at 1.85 billion won, government bonds worth 3.09 billion won, private bonds totaling 345 million won, and a 2011 Kia Sportage.
Han's mother reported assets totaling 381.28 million won, including land in Gwangsa-dong, Yangju, valued at approximately 329 million won. In 2006, while serving as the head of the search service division at the portal site Empas, Han was fined 10 million won and faced confiscation for violating the Information and Communications Network Act related to the distribution of obscene materials.
President Lee Jae-myung praised Han in the request for her appointment, stating, "She has evolved from an ordinary office worker to a leader of a prominent digital company, demonstrating practicality and innovation. She also possesses a deep understanding and expertise in the changes and responses within the digital industry."
Notably, when nominated as Minister of SMEs and Startups last year, Han reported the highest assets of any ministerial nominee since the civilian government was established, declaring a total of 44.09 billion won, including unexercised stock options from Naver.
