On Christmas, many Korean artists took photos with unique looks and costumes for the audience. But Song Hye Kyo brought another surprise gift.
In the latest post, Song Hye Kyo released a series of unofficial photos of her pictorial photosening process in Harper's Bazaar Korea. The actress wrote: "Not the main photo, but the B-cuts (unofficial/backstage photos) as a small gift for fans".
The beauty born in 1981 shows her unique appearance with curly hair and a cold demeanor. Her youthful appearance at the age of 44 received many compliments. However, what really caught the audience's attention were the photos "added" by Song Hye Kyo at the end of the post.
The actress has released some photos from her childhood. Song Hye Kyo had many expressions from happy to angry that day. In particular, a photo of Song Hye Kyo smiling when her teeth fell off caused a stir.
These photos are believed to have been taken when she was around 4-7 years old, recording a period of natural development when milk teeth were being replaced with permanent teeth. Her rustic face and clear eyes at that time somewhat evoked the image of Song Hye Kyo that audiences are familiar with today.
In contrast to that innocence, Song Hye Kyo's current photos tend to be minimalist, not flashy. With short bob hair, light makeup, and a slim figure, the actress exudes a calm, natural and relaxing atmosphere.
The audience commented that her balanced figure and short hair made Song Hye Kyo look much higher than her actual height of 1m61.
According to the media, posting photos of "backstage" also has its own meaning. Instead of perfectly carved photos, Song Hye Kyo chose softer, more natural photos, combining the purity of childhood with the simple spirit of the present.
Shared as a Christmas gift, the series of photos feels like not a show of celebrities, but a portrait of a woman who has gone through many ups and downs in life.
Song Hye Kyo's short hair look is also related to the role she plays. The actress is filming the Netflix drama Slowly and intensely (working title). This is Song Hye Kyo's third collaboration with screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung, after "The World They Live" 2008 and "That Winter Wind" (2013).
Slowly and intensely tells the story of people who aspired to succeed in the Korean entertainment industry from the 1960s to 1980s.
Song Hye Kyo plays Min Ja, a resilient woman who went through a difficult childhood. Looking for opportunities in the Korean music industry, she accepted the risks and took a bold leap to pursue her dream.
The film features a cast of famous actors including Song Hye Kyo, Gong Yoo, Seolhyun, Cha Seung Won, Honey Lee. Slowly and intensely promises to be a highly anticipated Korean TV blockbuster with a production budget of about 75 billion won.
