One of Song Hye-kyo's skin secrets, the  secret to her porcelain skin, is the milk washing method.

Song Hye-kyo revealed that she warms up the milk and applies it to her face as if pouring it on her face at the last stage of cleansing. This milk cleansing method removes dead skin cells and penetrates deep into the skin to maintain clear and clean skin.

With the recent drop in temperature, more and more people are paying attention to skin care. During the changing season, when there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, the skin tends to become dry, and the condition of the skin changes suddenly, which can cause various troubles.

For this reason, moisture management is more important than ever in the cold season. It is better to use a face wash that contains moisturizing ingredients rather than soap with strong cleansing power, and wash with lukewarm water rather than hot water. Milk face wash or milk mask is also good because it can provide two effects of moisture and moisturizing.

It is said that milk has been used for skin care since ancient times. Cleopatra is imprinted in our memories as a representative beauty of the West, and the ancient Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, is famous for taking care of her skin by bathing in milk. She is also known to always bathe in milk when she travels, even when Popia, the wife of the ancient Roman emperor Nero, used fermented yogurt for her yogurt skincare routine.

Then, why is milk good for skin care?

This is because AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) an abundant minerals in milk provide moisture and nutrients to the skin, helping to keep the skin healthy. AHA component, also called lactic acid or lactic acid, is a natural moisturizing factor generated during the fermenting process of milk. Usually, when using it conveniently, rinsing with milk is often used in the last step of washing face. If you want a bigger effect, you can mix it with other ingredients to make a pack. Also, rather than simply washing your face with milk, you can wet gauze with milk and put it on your face like a pack, then remove it after about 20 minutes.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
