Song Hye Kyo has wowed fans once again with her flawless beauty and exceptional acting!

On April 1, MBC’s Son Suk Hee’s Questions featured two of Korea’s top screenwriters, Kim Eun Sook and Kim Eun Hee, as they discussed their famous dramas.

Kim Eun Sook mentioned hits like Lovers in Paris, Goblin, and The Glory, while Kim Eun Hee brought up Sign, Signal, and Kingdom.

However, the spotlight quickly turned to The Glory, as Kim Eun Sook shared how a particular scene left her in awe. She said, “I wasn’t sure if the actor could pull it off, but when I saw Song Hye Kyo’s acting, I got chills. I realized she could bring that level of intensity, and I gave her high praise.”

She couldn’t stop complimenting Song Hye Kyo’s portrayal of Moon Dong Eun, calling it absolutely brilliant.

Song Hye Kyo herself shared her thoughts on that unforgettable scene, recalling, “That scene was filmed in the middle of the shoot. By that time, I was completely immersed in Dong Eun. I acted purely based on what I felt on set, and I just followed the emotions from the script and the atmosphere.”

She added, “A few days later, writer Kim Eun Sook called me, and I was worried she didn’t like something. But instead, she told me she loved that scene and thanked me. That made me so happy,” she said with a smile.

Lim Ji Yeon, who played Park Yeon Jin, Moon Dong Eun’s rival in The Glory, also praised the scene, saying, “I thought that was the highlight of the drama. The writer has a way of making everything feel real, even in the most serious moments.”

But it wasn’t just the acting that had fans talking. Song Hye Kyo’s appearance in the video had viewers in awe. She had cut her hair even shorter than her character in The Glory, and fans couldn’t help but notice how youthful and glowing she looked. Many pointed out how much younger she appeared, even compared to her Encounter days seven years ago!
