On January 12, Song Hye-kyo appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel Fairy Jae-hyung.
Sporting a bold short haircut, Song Hye-kyo entered Jung Jae-hyung’s house. Amazed, he exclaimed, “Your face is so small! It’s been so long and you still look so beautiful. Song Hye-kyo explained: “I cut my hair short for a new project. I’m still getting used to it.” Despite praise from Jae-hyung, who called her “child-like”, she dismissed him with irony, “There’s no way he looks like a baby.”
Recently, Song Hye-kyo ventured into vlogging for the first time through Kang Min-kyung’s YouTube channel after her appearance in “You Quiz on the Block.” When asked about the change, she laughed and said: “I felt it was something I should try now. At my age, I’m grateful for the interest people still show.”
Jae-hyung remarked, “If you were like a child before, now you seem so comfortable. When you first arrived, you seemed so comfortable that it surprised me. Song Hye-kyo replied, “I hear it a lot these days. People say I look relaxed. Over the years I have had many experiences, both as a woman and as an actress: happy, difficult and everything in between. I think I learned a lot about life.”
Jae-hyung mentioned his recent work in “The Glory,” a departure from his usual genres. Song Hye-kyo admitted, “I have been playing similar roles and genres for a while now. At some point, I also felt bored with my acting. If I felt that way, how much more boring and uninteresting must it have been for viewers? When the news about “The Glory” came out, I thought viewers wouldn’t have high expectations. But since it was a completely different character in a revenge drama, I think they were pleasantly surprised.”
Reflecting on his career, he added, “If I had diversified my roles earlier, people wouldn’t have thought, ‘Song Hye-kyo always does the same thing.’ But I kept making similar projects and it made it less engaging for me and for the viewers.”
Praising his “The Glory” co-stars and “Dark Nuns” actress Jeon Yeo-been, he said: “They are so passionate and caring. Sometimes I think, ‘Hye-kyo, why don’t you think as much as them? You should think about things more.’ I have been lucky enough to meet such amazing kids who inspire and challenge me.
Jung Jae-hyung commented, “Maybe all the hardships you endured in your thirties in China are finally paying off.” Song Hye-kyo laughed, “It’s about time I received my blessing. I think it’s finally my turn.”
Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo married actor Song Joong-ki, her co-star in “Descendants of the Sun”, in 2017. However, they divorced by mutual consent after about two years.
