Song Hye-kyo appeared on tvN’s entertainment program “You Quiz on the Block” which aired on January 8th.
On the program, Song Hye-kyo said: “I have received offers for many similar roles and projects with similar genres. Before ‘The Glory’, I started reflecting on my acting and thought it was boring. Even if I think my acting was boring, it must be even more boring in the eyes of the viewers. I felt depressed thinking I had no acting talent.”
He continued, “When I was younger, in my twenties, I looked at senior actors in their thirties and thought that my acting would also be so good when I was their age. However, I guess acting is still difficult even in my 30s and 40s. In my late twenties, I monitored my acting and realized that this was what I had always done. I felt embarrassed and wondered if I should rest.”
Song Hye-kyo confessed: “Doing this job for a long time, I also had to deal with a lot of rumors. I have received too much criticism that it no longer bothers me. Even snide comments no longer make me feel sad. However, when such comments targeted my family, it truly broke my heart.”adding “Someone once asked me about the rumors surrounding me in a meeting and I said, ‘I just heard about it, so why don’t you go ask the person who spread the rumor.’ I have been acting since I was young and have handled voices both large and small. Normally I would let them go in one ear and out the other. But I thought the hate was too much sometimes.”
He shared: “I often contact director Noh Hee-kyung and he told me, “You have to know how to love yourself so you can spread love to the people around you.” I used to wonder how to love myself. After that, I started making some morning and evening habits for the next five years. In the morning I would write down my plans for the day and, before going to bed, I would list 10 things I feel grateful for that day,” revealing changes in his life.
When asked about her goal, Song Hye-kyo said: “The present is what matters. Acting is still difficult, but as I get older I think I will take on more diverse roles. I have learned that I should and should not be greedy, so I believe that if I continue to walk steadfastly, a good future will follow.”
