Kang So-ra's Past Life was 'Ivan', an Art Student in the Netherlands... "Regret Losing Love"

Actress Kang So-ra faced the life of 'Ivan', an art student who was active in the Netherlands, through a past life experience.

Kang So-ra released a video on her YouTube channel capturing the process of experiencing a past life directly. Revealing that she usually enjoys fantasy elements and has wondered things like, "What was I like in a past life?", "Are there things similar to my current self?", and "Is there someone whose past connection has continued into this life?", Kang So-ra paid for the experience herself to conduct this session.

Dutch Art Student 'Ivan' Dreams of Success Through Portraits

During the past life experience process, Kang So-ra recalled the memories of a boy named 'Ivan' who lived in the Netherlands. Following the guidance in the video, the reconstructed life of Ivan began in a wooden house in the Netherlands. After passing through his teenage years at age 15, Ivan grew into an art student majoring in Western painting. With brown hair and freckles, Ivan worked as a painter drawing portraits after graduating from university. The portraits Ivan painted gained word-of-mouth popularity among the aristocracy.

Ivan's life did not stay only in the Netherlands. According to the description in the video, Ivan moved to the United States and made a living by painting by the seaside. Life in the United States was more hectically busy than in the Netherlands, and it appeared he lived while juggling various jobs, such as carrying canned goods. Later, as a middle-aged man, Ivan secured a good house and lived in a mansion thanks to the fact that the portraits he drew in the past sold well. He brought children in and lived as a father figure and a "fun uncle," and in his old age, he cited spending time in the garden with the children as his happiest moment.

Regret Over Losing Love and Continuing Connections

The biggest emotional turning point in Ivan's life was love. Throughout his life, there was a woman Ivan loved, but they could not marry due to differences in social status. The video depicts the situation where Ivan had to watch the woman's wedding. At the final moment of his life, Ivan left behind the regret, "I should have tried to hold onto her one more time," toward the woman for whom he had painted a portrait.

At the final moment of his life, Ivan meets death while holding the hand of the girl he raised, and hears the word "Daddy" from the child. After finishing the experience, Kang So-ra mentioned the 'red-haired child' as an existence whose past life connection is continuing into this life. Regarding the fact that the connection with the child Ivan raised in the video is linked to a connection in this life, Kang So-ra expressed her feelings, saying, "It is scary yet touching." Kang So-ra added that through this experience, she feels she will develop a sense of intimacy with the country of the Netherlands. However, it appeared that the manual dexterity from her past life was not carried over.
