The 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards has ended, but many topics discussed around the award results and the participating artists are still causing a stir on forums.
While actor Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin made history with a double award for Best Actor/Actress and Most Favorite Star, Song Hye Kyo's presence was also hotly discussed.
One of the photos that was widely shared after the awards ceremony was the moment the camera recorded Song Hye Kyo's expression when Son Ye Jin was named in the Best Actress category.
When Kim Go Eun read Son Ye Jin's name, Song Hye Kyo initially winked in amazement, then smiled and clapped to congratulate her colleagues.
But this moment in a moment was discussed. Many people think that Song Hye Kyo's expressions are somewhat awkward and not as enthusiastic as YoonA and Lee Jae In.
A series of speculations about why Song Hye Kyo has strange expressions have been made. In it, the online community recalled Song Hye Kyo's relationship with Hyun Bin - Son Ye Jin's husband.
After collaborating on the movie The World They Live in 2008, Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin had a period of dating. The couple's relationship lasted 2 years and broke up before Hyun Bin enlisted in 2011.
Therefore, Song Hye Kyo's attitude towards Hyun Bin's current wife has become a hot topic. When Song Hye Kyo did not appear on the Red Dragon Blue carpet before the awards ceremony, there were rumors that the actress decided to avoid her ex-lover.
On social media, controversy continued to escalate when the jury's voting results were announced. In which, Song Hye Kyo did not receive any votes in all 3 rounds of voting. YoonA received at least 1 vote in the first round.
This result shocked and climbed to the top of the discussion topic on the Chinese social network Weibo. Song Hye Kyo is one of the most famous Korean actresses in the Chinese market, so many people did not agree with the results.
They think that, in terms of reputation, fan base or outstanding works, Song Hye Kyo is much superior, but she is not recognized by experts.
Other audiences argued, stating that Song Hye Kyo was mainly famous in the television industry, while in the film industry, Son Ye Jin's award achievements are at the top of the Korean 8X generation of actresses.
Son Ye Jin is the only 8X actress to win the Best Actress award at all 3 biggest film awards in Korea (Blue Dragon, Golden bell, Baeksang). Even the Best Actress Award at these 3 awards ceremonies has been won twice, showing that her ability has long been recognized by experts.
In terms of television achievements, although Son Ye Jin is said to have fewer famous works than Song Hye Kyo. But she also won the Best Actress award in a Baeksang drama in 2007, for Lonely in Love.
On the contrary, Song Hye Kyo has a large fan base, but her acting has caused controversy many times. The audience commented that Song Hye Kyo's performance fluctuated.
The success of the 2022 film "The glory" has helped Song Hye Kyo regain sympathy and win many prestigious awards. But as for her role in Dark nuns, her performance was not impressive.
Song Hye Kyo's presence in the nomination list for the 2025 Blue Dragon Best Actress with "Dark nuns" caused controversy.
