Song Hye Kyo is proving that age is just a number as she graces the cover of Vogue Hong Kong!

The actress showed off her stunning visuals in the magazine’s March issue, rocking a short haircut and bold smoky makeup that left fans in awe.

In the interview, Song Hye Kyo reflected on her acting journey, sharing how she finally got the chance to step into different genres with The Glory.

She revealed, “I had opportunities to do genre dramas before, but they never worked out. Since I did a lot of melodramas, I kept getting similar roles.”

However, she explained that pushing her boundaries as an actress is what truly excites her.

Her next project, Netflix’s Show Business, will show yet another new side of her. She described her character, Min Ja, as a woman who has faced hardships since childhood but still throws herself into the Korean music industry without hesitation. “I think this role will allow me to show something different from before,” she said.

Fans have also been wondering if she’ll ever return to romantic comedies. Song Hye Kyo fondly recalled her time filming Full House, saying, “Back then, the director told me to let go and have fun, so I improvised a lot, and it became a great experience. If there’s a fun and realistic project that suits me in my 40s, I’d love to try rom-com again.”

At 44, the actress is embracing aging with confidence. She shared, “I’ve lived through my 20s and 30s to become who I am today. Since we all age together, I don’t fear growing older. But because my job depends on my looks, I do have to take care of myself.”

She also revealed a change in mindset over the years. “I used to prioritize the happiness of my friends, family, and loved ones over my own. But one day, I realized I had never truly put myself first. Since then, I started focusing on myself more, and that has actually made me emotionally stronger.”

As for how she spends her time outside of acting, Song Hye Kyo shared that she loves painting. “I don’t paint with the goal of finishing something. It’s just about the process, and it really clears my mind.”

With a new drama, a fearless mindset, and her timeless beauty, Song Hye Kyo continues to captivate fans worldwide!

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) has officially taken on a professor role at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), but not everyone was on board with the idea at first!

On February 26, MBC’s Radio Star featured model and influencer Heo Sung Beom, who shared his firsthand experience meeting Professor G-Dragon.

Heo revealed that he attended G-Dragon’s appointment ceremony last year as a student representative. However, he admitted, “Some people at KAIST felt that G-Dragon didn’t really fit in here since he’s not from KAIST.”

But Heo had a different perspective. “When I actually met him, I saw that he was very interested in science and technology. He asked a lot of questions.” He added, “People think science is rigid, but it’s actually deeply connected to creativity. Research needs investment, promotion, and interest. G-Dragon is playing a big role in that.”

G-Dragon made headlines last year when he introduced himself as “Professor Kwon Ji Yong” at KAIST’s 2024 Innovate Korea talk show.

As a visiting professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, his role focuses on blending KAIST’s advanced technology with K-content and culture to strengthen Korea’s global influence.

His duties include:
Leadership lectures to inspire students with his global experience
Research collaborations that merge Hallyu (Korean Wave) with AI, robotics, and the metaverse
Development of artist avatars using cutting-edge tech like motion capture and haptics

At his appointment ceremony, G-Dragon admitted he was amazed by KAIST after a tour of the campus.“This isn’t a place you can just come to easily. Seeing the research and development firsthand made me realize how closely connected it is to my own work.”

He also talked about his vision for the music industry: "For the public, albums and music are new content. I want to offer different ways to experience music, to increase its collectible value. Watching, listening, and experiencing music should go beyond just the traditional ways.”

As for his future projects with KAIST, G-Dragon teased: “It’s still a secret, so I can’t reveal much yet. But seeing the technology at its early stages made me excited to think about how I could apply it in my field.”

G-Dragon’s professorship at KAIST will last two years, until June 2026. Fans are curious to see what groundbreaking projects he’ll work on next.
