Song Hye Kyo opens up about aging beauty and what she really thinks when she looks in the mirror

Actress Song Hye Kyo opened up with refreshing honesty about what goes through her mind when she looks in the mirror.

On December 26, a video titled 'We got these year end questions. Song Hye Kyo is a comedy character. Just watching her is funny #Non Face to Face Interview' was uploaded to the YouTube channel Harper’s Bazaar Korea. In the video, Song Hye Kyo answers fans’ questions and shares a range of candid stories, showing off her relaxed and witty charm.

When one fan asked whether she would consider playing a character who is “extremely dressed up,” Song Hye Kyo responded honestly, saying, “If I like the script and the character after reading it carefully, I would want to try it. But I don’t choose projects that focus solely on being dressed up.”

Speaking about her special appearance in 'Genie, Make A Wish,' she recalled, “It was my first time wearing smoky makeup for a project. At first, I only heard, ‘What kind of role is it?’ and didn’t realize it would be that glamorous. Dressing up like a comic book character made the shoot really fun.”

She also drew laughter by sharing her thoughts when she looks in the mirror. “I know the answer people probably want is, ‘Why am I so pretty?’” she joked. “But when I was younger, I was on the chubbier side, so I often thought, ‘I need to lose weight quickly.’ These days, when I’m wearing makeup, I think, ‘I like today’s style,’ or ‘This feels like a new look.’ On ordinary days, though, I sometimes think, ‘I look tired.’”

Addressing the much talked about dress she wore to the 'Blue Dragon Film Awards,' Song Hye Kyo expressed her gratitude, saying, “My hair, makeup, and styling team did an amazing job. I received so many compliments, and I’m very thankful.” She added, “Since I have a petite frame, I choose dresses that hide my weaknesses and highlight my strengths. I especially like Indian pink. It seems to suit my skin tone well.”

Through her honest answers and lighthearted humor, Song Hye Kyo once again showed why fans continue to be drawn to both her elegance and her down to earth personality.
