At the news of Song Joong Ki’s remarriage, attention is also being paid to the actor’s former wife, Song Hye Kyo. In fact, the actress, who is now 41 years old, seems to be leading a just as successful life, with her latest project, “The Glory”, being a major hit. In particular, Song Hye Kyo transformed into school violence victim Moon Dong Eun in this work, and received numerous praise for her excellent portrayal, establishing her position in the industry after years of being criticized for choosing “safe” and “familiar” roles.

It’s impossible to deny the impact and popularity of Song Hye Kyo, both before and after “The Glory”. In particular, within just 3 days of air, “The Glory” accumulated over 25 million hours of watching time – a number many producers can only dream of. At the same time, Song Hye Kyo is still considered a “drama goddess” in Korea, who never loses her charm and prestige in the highly competitive entertainment industry. 

Through “The Glory”, audiences get to see the true extent of Song Hye Kyo’s abilities and effort. Compared to older projects, where the actress mostly plays the pretty protagonist, her “The Glory” character, Moon Dong Eun, has been jaded by life, and doesn’t exactly look stellar. It is also known that Song Hye Kyo doesn’t wear makeup in a lot of scenes, and lost a lot of weight to portray this character. It can even be said that Song Hye Kyo is giving her acting career a new life with this new project. 

According to Song Hye Kyo herself in an interview with Elle Korea, there have been many moments where the actress doubted herself. However, “The Glory” has rekindled her love for acting, leaving her excited after every scene and expectant of the next filming day.

At the age of 41, Song Hye Kyo no longer likes to hang out at noisy places. She shared, whenever she is under pressure, she enjoys listening to music with her friends, drinking, chatting, or playing with her dog. Ranked among Korea’s top beauties, Song Hye Kyo is known for her flawless bare face and stunning proportions. However, there are still times when her appearance sparks mixed reactions with comments claiming she looks “aged” or “swollen”. But such comments don’t stop Song Hye Kyo from remaining an iconic visual among Korean actresses.
