MC Yoo Byungjae asked, "I've heard your family has been doctors for generations," to which Ha Young replied, "That's right." She went on to say, "As far as I know, my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all doctors. I've heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first to open a clinic practicing Western medicine in Hanyang at that time," surprising those around her.

She added, "My older sister is also a doctor—a specialist in internal medicine."

When Yoo Byungjae remarked, "Such an environment must have influenced your sister to become a doctor," Ha Young agreed. However, she admitted that, unlike her sister, she never dreamed of becoming a doctor herself, confessing that it was such a difficult profession that she couldn't even dare to imagine it.

She also shared that she received a lot of help from her family while filming medical dramas. For example, during the production of 'Severe Trauma Center', she had to understand various medications and medical terms in order to portray her role properly, which was possible thanks to her family's support. Meanwhile, Ha Young played the role of nurse Chun Jangmi in 'Severe Trauma Center' and appears as prosecutor Go Eunse in 'This Damn Love'.
