Actress Song Hye-kyo, who is in her 28th year since debuting, took a nostalgic trip back in time. On the January 8th episode of tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (hereafter ‘You Quiz’), Song Hye-kyo made her appearance on a talk show for the first time in 23 years. During the show, Song Hye-kyo shared, “It’s been a really long time since I’ve appeared on a variety show, so it’s truly an honor to greet everyone in the new year,” as she introduced herself to ‘You Quiz’ viewers. Indeed, this marks her first talk show appearance in about 23 years.
Song Hye-kyo also addressed various rumors surrounding her. She commented, “Having worked for so long, I’m not usually aware of them, but when I hear things here and there, there seem to be a lot of rumors. Sometimes, during interviews or when meeting people I’m not familiar with, they ask me about those rumors. Then I say, ‘That’s something I’ve heard too. You should ask the person who made up that rumor. I don’t know either, so what should I say?'”
She continued by saying, “I’ve received so much criticism that I’m honestly okay with it now. It’s fine when negative comments are directed at me. However, when they’re aimed at my family, it breaks my heart,” showing a more flexible attitude compared to when she debuted.
Song Hye-kyo, who mentioned that “Having worked from such a young age, there have been numerous small and big rumors,” explained, “Given my profession, I let many things go in one ear and out the other. There were times when I thought, ‘This isn’t right,’ but one day, when meeting various people, someone asked me, ‘Can I ask about this rumor going around?’ I replied, ‘If I knew, I’d like to answer you. But it’s also something I’ve heard as gossip, and I don’t know about it, so there’s nothing I can really say. You’d probably get a quicker answer from the person who started the rumor.'”
Song Hye-kyo will also appear in the film ‘Black Nuns’, which opens on the 24th.
