I auditioned for 100 or so projects before my debut, but I didn't get the roles."

Jeon confessed to using "Ha Ji-won" as her stage name as a tribute to her former boss because it was the name of his first love. "Because I was going to debut, Ha Ji-won became my first love of my manager's name." I suspect he wanted to at least use the name of his lover, but that was not fulfilled.
