Song Hye Kyo opened up about a moment when she truly felt her seniority in the acting world, and fans can’t stop admiring her grace and popularity!

On the January 22 episode of the podcast "Song Eun Yi, Kim Sook’s Confidential Guarantee", Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Yeo Been shared heartwarming stories about their first meeting and mutual admiration.

Jeon Yeo Been started by recalling her first encounter with the veteran actress at the Blue Dragon Series Awards. "The first time I saw her was when she won the grand prize. My heart fluttered. It was amazing to see someone I admired so much," she shared, expressing her heartfelt admiration.

Song Hye Kyo responded warmly, saying, "It was the same for me. Yeo Been and I have mutual friends who spoke so highly of her. I already liked her so much and was curious about what kind of person she was."

Their connection grew even stronger at the awards show. Song Hye Kyo revealed, "When I saw Yeo Been, she was so beautiful. I wanted to greet her, but since we only knew each other through others, I hesitated. But then she came over and greeted me first, and I felt so grateful."

Jeon Yeo Been didn’t hold back in praising Song Hye Kyo’s incredible popularity. "That day, you won a big award, and I’m not exaggerating—people were lined up, waiting to greet you," she said, showing just how admired Song Hye Kyo is by peers in the industry.

Reflecting on this, Song Hye Kyo joked, "I’ve gotten older. Except for Choi Min Sik and Ha Jung Woo sunbaenims, I was the oldest among the women there. It didn’t hit me until I noticed juniors coming over one by one to greet me. I felt grateful, but I also thought, 'Wow, I’ve really aged!'"

With her timeless beauty and inspiring career, Song Hye Kyo continues to be a role model and icon in the entertainment industry! Fans are loving this sweet exchange between two amazing actresses.
