Song Ji-hyo is a "real CEO" who runs her own business while actively working in films such as the movie "House of Meeting" and the variety show Running Man. A recent video that revealed the inside of her company is being reexamined.
In an earlier interview, Song Ji-hyo laughed, saying, "I actually go to the office often. When I go, there are so many approvals piled up that I sign off on about 10 at a time." "I feel satisfied when I participate directly and take care of the details. So I become more focused," she said.
Instead of remaining an "only-in-name CEO" like ordinary celebrities, Song Ji-hyo is involved in running the company overall, taking charge directly from product planning to approvals. He said, "This business has a different nature from my main job, so I actually become more focused," and added, "The sense of achievement from completing things one by one is so great that I don't feel fatigued."
In particular, even when she visited the company for the first time in a while for promotional schedules before a premiere, Song Ji-hyo revealed her responsibility as CEO, saying, "There were tons of documents to approve in the waiting room. I even approved things during the premiere."
Meanwhile, in a recent broadcast of SBS Running Man, the "You there, give that paycheck CEO" special aired, and the inside of Song Ji-hyo's actual company was shown. The special's concept had members go to work at actual companies and transform into "office workers," where they had to generate revenue through their own abilities in order to receive a paycheck.
When Song Ji-hyo was chosen as the "CEO I like," the members moved to the underwear brand company that Song Ji-hyo actually runs. Song Ji-hyo invited the members to her company, saying, "Let's go eat free food," and in the process the real office space and brand atmosphere were revealed, drawing viewers' attention.
Song Ji-hyo's office shown on the broadcast had a neat yet sophisticated interior, and employees were seen working passionately. In particular, the company, which recently transferred to Sangam, appeared larger in scale.
After the broadcast, online communities and social media responded with comments such as "I thought she was only a CEO in name, but she really handles the actual work," "She even approves things in the premiere waiting room... her diligence is exceptional," "Song Ji-hyo is a steady person, admirable as an actress and as a CEO," and "She honestly acknowledged early setbacks and overcame them—she's a true professional."
In particular, some fans left supportive messages such as "I'm glad the business is doing better and better," and "If it transferred to Sangam, doesn't that mean expansion?" showing strong interest in her business growth.
