• Song Hye Kyo talks about taking on new challenges as an actress: "I want to show a better side of myself"

    Song Hye Kyo wowed everyone with her stunning beauty.

    The actress graced the cover of Elle's September issue, teaming up with Fendi, a brand she's been close with for four years.

    In the interview following the photoshoot, Song Hye Kyo talked about her experience with the hit series "The Glory."

    She said, "It was my first time trying this genre, so I was really nervous and scared, but thankfully, it got a lot of love. I found a new kind of excitement and now believe I can do even better in the future. I want to show a better side of myself and take on new challenges."

    She also shared her thoughts on her upcoming movie "Black Nuns". Song Hye Kyo revealed, "I'm not usually into occult genres, but my mom loved them, so I grew up familiar with it. After 'The Glory,' I didn’t want to return to a typical love story. Then I found 'Black Nuns.' Seeing myself fight for someone on screen felt new and exciting. I was thrilled to discover a different side of myself through this role."

    She added, "I appreciate people who bring joy through simple conversations. I’m lucky to have good people around me. Life isn’t always happy, but when I struggle, those around me guide me in the right direction. I hope to be that kind of person too."

    Reflecting on her long career, Song Hye Kyo said, "I’ve always given my best with the time I have. The results aren’t always perfect. But whether in the past, present, or future, I’ll keep working hard in my own way. I accept both criticism and praise with gratitude," showing her dedication and sincerity.

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
