[Sports Chosun Dotcom Reporter Kim Soo-hyun] Friends of actress Song Hye-kyo have shared touching stories about her.
On the 10th, a video titled “Not Me, But Song Hye-kyo’s Vlog…” was uploaded on the channel.
The video featured Song Hye-kyo’s birthday party with a selection of four cakes. During the “story-sharing time,” a friend mentioned, “I’ve known Hye-kyo since she was 19. I was also in my 20s. There’s an unforgettable event. When Hye-kyo agreed to star in director John Woo’s film and went to announce it with actor Chang Chen and the director during the Cannes Film Festival.”
The friend continued, “The sets were all prepared, but the film and drama encountered issues with the original work, leading the director to abandon the movie. It was unsure how to convey this to the actress, but she simply acknowledged it. That evening, she invited us over, and there was a bottle of champagne.”
The friend also recalled, “There was a note that read ‘Stay strong, sister.’ Hye-kyo was in her 20s at the time. When unforeseen issues arose at work, she acted like a seasoned professional, which I am grateful for.”
A stylist also shared, “When I was young, struggling in a small room and not earning much, I received sudden news that my mother was ill. Without having a chance to speak to Hye-kyo, I rushed to my hometown. I found a large sum of money unexpectedly deposited in my account. The manager in charge made the transfer saying, ‘Hye-kyo told me to send this to you.’ It’s not about the amount, but the words Hye-kyo shared with me at the time that came to mind.”
The stylist added, “She said, ‘I am sorry that what I can offer you now is money. I should be there for you during this tough time. I’m truly sorry for not being able to be by your side and only helping financially.’ It made me cry a lot from the heart,” and she became teary-eyed again.
