Iconic role

Reflecting on her iconic role in the classic drama Autumn in My Heart, she shared a humorous anecdote about her co-star Song Seung Heon. She remarked, “He still calls me Eun Seo.” He quips, ‘Eun Seo, have you arrived?’ while playing the drama’s OST when we first meet. He should quit doing that, I always tell him.”

Addressing industry rumours, Song Hye Kyo commented, “When people bring them up, I say, ‘I heard that too. Ask the person who started it—I don’t know anything!’” On handling criticism, she admitted, “I’ve grown used to malicious comments, but it hurts when they involve my family.”
