On January 10, Kang Min-kyung’s YouTube channel uploaded a video titled “This is Song Hye-kyo’s Vlog, not mine…”.
At the beginning of the video, Kang Min-kyung explained the reason for Song Hye-kyo’s appearance on his channel, saying “2-3 months ago, I had lunch with Hye-kyo unnie and we talked about promoting her new movie ‘Dark Nuns’.”
After Kang Min-kyung’s introduction is Song Hye-kyo’s Vlog. The actress revealed her birthday celebration with close friends at home, adding “We’ve been together for 20 years… I’m tired of them.” Song Hye-kyo’s birthday party featured four different types of cakes. While sharing speeches, Song Hye-kyo’s friend said, “I’ve known Hye-kyo since she was 19. I was twenty years old then. There are many unforgettable memories. Hye-kyo decided to shoot director John Woo’s film, and it was announced when she came to a film festival with the director and Jang Chen.”
They shared, “The setting had already been prepared, but there was a problem between the original film and the drama, so the director ended up giving up on the project. I asked myself, “How should I explain this to the actress (Song Hye-kyo)?”, but she only replied, “I understand you.” That evening he called me and gave me a bottle of champagne with a note that said, “Stay strong, grandmas.” Song Hye-kyo was only 20 years old at the time. Whenever unexpected problems arose, she handled them all like a senior,” expressing admiration for Song Hye-kyo
Song Hye-kyo’s stylist also confessed: “When I was younger, I lived in a gosiwon and had trouble because I couldn’t earn enough money. One day I received a call that my mother was sick, so I rushed to my hometown without telling Hye-kyo unnie. Later, I discovered that there was a huge amount of money in my bank account that I could never have imagined. It was deposited into my account by his manager on his behalf with a message that said “Hye-kyo asked me to send it to you.” It’s not about money, but I always remember what Hye-kyo unnie told me back then.”
The stylist added: “He said, ‘I’m sorry, but all I can do for you now is give you money. I should be there with you. I’m so sorry I can’t be with you when you’re going through such a hard time and I can only give you money.’ I cried a lot at that moment.”
The Vlog continued with Song Hye-kyo preparing to film the last part of “Dark Nuns”. As soon as she appeared on set, the actress quickly switched to her acting mode and immersed herself in the scenes. He also greeted actors Lee Jin-wook and Jeon Yeo-bin. Jeon Yeo-bin asked Song Hye-kyo what her secret was to maintaining long-lasting connections with others. Song Hye-kyo laughed and replied: “My personality? I tend to get along with people who are similar to me.”
Regarding her Vlog, Song Hye-kyo confessed, “This is the first time I’ve done a promotion for my project since ‘My Brilliant Life’. Promotional methods have changed a lot, but I also wanted to try something new, so I thought I’d appear on Min-kyung’s YouTube channel. I even tried to convince her. It’s been a long time since I was in high school.”
When asked about her favorite projects when looking back on her filmography, Song Hye-kyo shared: “I was so happy while filming ‘That Winter The Wind Blows.’ There were many difficult scenes to shoot as a blind character. After completing that role, I felt so thrilled, but at the same time so alone. Playing a blind character, I couldn’t make eye contact with my co-actors, but in the final episode, my character was able to see the faces of his beloved ones after undergoing surgery. Looking at In-sung’s face felt so strange to me, and that kind of emotional moment came naturally to me.
He also chose “Worlds Within” as one of his memorable projects. He said, “I feel so lucky to be able to play a character like that in my twenties. ‘The Glory’ was also a great project. I had fun filming it. I will never forget Moon Dong-eun.”
