Song Hye Kyo, a reigning name in Korean entertainment, recently revealed on singer-songwriter Jung Jaehyung’s YouTube channel that acting wasn’t always her dream.
While her exceptional acting has secured her a place amongst industry icons, it was her captivating visuals that paved the way for her teenage entry into showbiz.
During the interview promoting her upcoming film “Dark Nuns,” Jung inquired if acting was a lifelong aspiration for Song. Her answer was a surprising, “Being an actress wasn’t my dream.”
She admitted that as a student, she envisioned herself as a designer, unsure of her exact career path. Fate, however, had other plans.
Song recounted a story of entering a school uniform modeling audition for a teen magazine with a friend.
Unprepared compared to the other aspiring models applying makeup and strategizing, Song went with a natural look, assuming a student-like appearance was required.
Despite initially feeling defeated, both Song and her mother were surprised when she won the first prize, landing her the modeling gig. “That’s how it started naturally,” she explained.
Jung then complimented Song’s beauty, suggesting it likely played a significant role. Song modestly replied, “It’s hard for me to say that myself.”
This initial venture into modeling led to an agency connection and, consequently, a natural flow into the entertainment industry. She began attending auditions and quickly landed a role in the popular sitcom “Soonpoong Clinic,” propelling her to national recognition.
While her undeniable beauty may have opened the door to acting, Song Hye Kyo’s talent and dedication have solidified her reputation as a remarkable actress. From “Soonpoong Clinic” to her upcoming film “Dark Nuns” releasing on January 24th in South Korean theaters, she has consistently proven her acting prowess with every project she undertakes.
