Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee are two leading beauty icons in the Korean entertainment industry, famous for their timeless beauty and successful careers and sustainable influence in the entertainment industry.
Although rarely appearing together, Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee still have many interesting common points that make fans excited.
Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee both appear in the top 10 richest actresses in Korea in 2026 announced by Enterprise Wired.
Song Hye Kyo ranks third in the list, with an estimated fortune of about 60 million USD. After more than two decades of artistic activity, the actress built a solid career thanks to hit movies such as "Autumn in My Heart", "Full House", "Descendants of the Sun" and "The Glory".
In addition to filming fees, she also owns a large source of income from advertising contracts, representing many international fashion and beauty brands and commercial activities, contributing to making her one of the richest stars in Korea.
Right behind Song Hye Kyo is Kim Tae Hee with an estimated fortune of about 55 million USD. Although not appearing regularly on screen in recent years, the actress still maintains her appeal thanks to her fame built from famous works such as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Hi Bye, Mama!".
Besides acting, Kim Tae Hee also has a stable income from advertising and investment. She and her husband, singer and actor Bi Rain, own many valuable real estate properties, thereby maintaining their position in the group of rich and powerful artists of the Korean entertainment industry.
Besides their successful careers, Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee also have one thing in common: they are both related to... Bi Rain.
Song Hye Kyo was once rumored to be dating Bi Rain after the two co-starred in the hit movie "Full House" in 2004.
Thanks to the harmonious chemistry on screen, the couple is constantly "paired up" by fans and becomes the focus of many rumors.
However, Song Hye Kyo and Bi Rain have never confirmed their relationship, and have repeatedly affirmed that they are just close colleagues and friends after the movie ended.
If Song Hye Kyo was only rumored to be dating Bi Rain, Kim Tae Hee was the one who made love and built a family with the male singer.
In early 2013, Dispatch caused a stir when posting a series of secret dating photos of Kim Tae Hee and Bi Rain, making the love story of the two stars the focus of Asian media.
Just one day later, Kim Tae Hee's management company officially confirmed that the two are in the dating phase, affirming that the romantic relationship is true.
According to Korean media, Kim Tae Hee and Bi Rain met after participating in an advertising campaign in 2011. From the resonance in personality, the two gradually developed feelings and started dating.
After nearly 5 years of attachment, the couple held a simple wedding in January 2017 with the blessings of family, friends and fans.
Both likened to "beauty treasures" with rare natural beauty, but both Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee have experienced a long period of being doubted about their acting ability, being criticized for being "monochrome" on screen.
After a long journey of effort, Kim Tae Hee and Song Hye Kyo had to look for opportunities with more edgy roles. Song Hye Kyo transformed with "The Glory", while Kim Tae Hee changed her image in "The Liar Garden".
