Actor Song Hyekyo's dramatic short-cut transformation is drawing a heated response as soon as it was revealed. Her unflinching visuals even under extreme close-up and the neat short cut combine to prompt evaluations calling it a "legendary update".
In the released photos and videos, Song Hyekyo appears in a white suit with short hair, and even in ultra-close shots that emphasize restrained makeup and distinct facial features she showed an unwavering atmosphere that drew attention. In particular, the close-up shots that captured even the slightest changes in expression drew responses calling it "a photoshoot in itself."
This transformation is drawing even more attention as it coincides with the Netflix original series "Slowly, intensely." The work is a new piece by writer Noh Hee-kyung and depicts the fierce stories of those who threw themselves into pursuing shining success in Korea's entertainment industry during the 1960s to 1980s, when savagery and violence were rampant. It is a mega project reported to have production costs of about 70 billion won.
Song Hyekyo, along with Gong Yoo, Seolhyun, Cha Seung-won and Lee Ha-nee, have confirmed appearances, heightening expectations.
Internet users who saw it poured out explosive reactions such as "Even at this level of extreme close-up it's unfair," "Can a short cut suit someone this well?", "It perfectly matches the tone of the work," and "Both the acting transformation and the hair transformation are intense." Since it had been a topic of conversation even before the reveal, attention is focused on what kind of narrative Song Hyekyo's new look will complete.<
