• Song Hye Kyo Opens Up About Her Growing Friendship with Suzy and Secret to Staying Youthful

    Actress Song Hye Kyo recently opened up about her friendship with Suzy and addressed the rumors about her youthful appearance.

    On August 27th, the YouTube channel 'Elle Korea' released a video titled, "Title Song Hye Kyo. No Further Explanation Needed," where Song Hye Kyo shared some updates on her life.

    "I recently finished filming a movie, so I've been taking it easy," she said. "I'm having a great time with friends. When I'm working on a project, I don't have much free time to see friends. Right now, I don't have much to worry about, so I'm spending time on personal things."

    She added, "I need time alone. After spending time with others, I definitely need some time to myself. When I'm alone, I watch movies, listen to music, clean the house, walk my dog, and fully enjoy my own time."

    Song Hye Kyo also talked about her growing friendship with Suzy. "We've gotten closer recently. After the Blue Dragon Series Awards handprinting event, we went to my house and spent some time together. We also met up after the awards ceremony. We chatted, talked a lot, and then parted ways."

    When asked if there was a moment when she genuinely thought she looked beautiful, Song Hye Kyo responded, "Yes." She explained, "Sometimes at international events or when I'm shooting a pictorial like today, I get styled and made up in new ways each time, and I think to myself, 'I look pretty.'"

    She also addressed the "vampire rumor" sparked by her youthful appearance. "Aging naturally is a given, but since my face is part of my work, I'm doing my best to take care of myself and slow down the aging process as much as possible," she said.

    Reflecting on her career, Song Hye Kyo shared what she would say to her younger self. "You started without knowing much, but you've worked really hard and done well up to now. I want to tell you, 'You did a great job.'"

    As for what she would say to herself 20 years from now, she added, "If I'm still working, I'd probably think, 'You're still working?' I would want to say, 'You worked really hard,' and 'It's time to rest now.'"

    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.
