Actor Song Hye-kyo opened early spring.
On the 16th, fashion magazine 'Harpers Bazaar' Korea released three covers featuring actor Song Hye-kyo.
As if greeting early spring, the covers catch the eye with her bright atmosphere and androgynous short hair. In the three released covers, Song Hye-kyo revealed perfect leg lines and a preservative-like beauty. The concept of the pictorial was "Flower from Concrete (a flower that bloomed from concrete)", capturing her blooming like a flower against the backdrop of a white-toned modern low-rise apartment. Sporting bright pink and blue looks, and flawlessly pulling off a hooded zip-up with floral embroidery, Song Hye-kyo, true to the concept, evokes a single blossom.
In the interview following the pictorial shoot, Song Hye-kyo also showed affection for Min-ja, whom she played in the long-awaited new work "Slowly, intensely" with writer Noh Hee-kyung. "Min-ja values success more than love, and she is a woman who will stop at nothing for that success. She lives with the attitude that the whole world is beneath her. The process of starting from the bottom and rising up is truly tumultuous. When you watch a life of constant struggle from a third-party perspective... you feel sorry for her as a human. Even at home, when I think of Min-ja, I sometimes cry," she said.
Regarding transforming into a short crop for the work, she answered, "I believe that an actor becomes that character once they start wondering, 'What would this person's style be?' The writer thought Min-ja would have short hair and suggested the short cut. The writer was worried about the actor having such short hair, but I had no fear at all if it was a style that suited Min-ja."
In particular, Song Hye-kyo said, "When I work on a project I think about the role all day, but when I don't, I try to clear my mind as much as possible. Rather, I am busy making plans that require action, like what time to walk my dog, when to clean this room, and what to finish by next week. Of course, as a person there are days I feel down, but because I found ways to make myself feel good, the low times never last long. Keeping a gratitude journal doesn't mean our lives have only happy days. But now I think I have learned how to love myself on any given day," saying that she kept a gratitude journal for five years with writer Noh Hee-kyung and that last year it made her love herself.
