Actress Song Hye Kyo has once again been recognized for her consistent and sincere patriotic efforts over the past 14 years.

Professor Seo Kyung Duk of Sungshin Women’s University recently praised the star for her meaningful work, including rejecting a major advertisement offer tied to war crimes.

Professor Seo shared on social media, “I’ve received many messages after people saw me and Hye Kyo on You Quiz on the Block. It’s been an honor to work with her on such meaningful projects for the past 14 years.”

Their efforts include donating Korean-language guides to top museums and galleries worldwide, like New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto.

Professor Seo added, “Together, we’ve also donated Korean-language guides, signboards, and relief works to 37 sites tied to Korea’s independence movement overseas.”

One of the most touching moments he highlighted was when Song Hye Kyo turned down a modeling contract with Mitsubishi Motors in China due to its ties to war crimes.

“At the time, she told me, ‘I’m working on projects to honor Korea’s independence activists with you, so it’s only natural for me to decline.’ Her sincerity and consistency have always impressed me,” he said.

Professor Seo also revealed that they are preparing a special project this year to mark the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation. “Please look forward to what we’re working on together,” he teased.

Meanwhile, Song Hye Kyo is set to return to the big screen with her new film Dark Nuns, which premieres on January 24th.

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
