Laneige

Laneige's is Amore's "trendiest brand," according to Choi, and a popular K-drama actress Song Hye Kyo is the face of the line. Target started stocking Laneige a few years ago, and it's one of my favorite K-beauty lines, but Aritaum stores will carry a lot more product options than Target does. The most popular product is the Water Sleeping Mask (they're sometimes called "sleeping packs" in Korea), a gel based leave-on product that is meant to help seal in whatever products you put on prior to that. I highly recommend it. The Brightening Sparkling line is also fun and features fizzing, foamy delights.

Song Hye Kyo Shares Photos From “Descendants of the Sun” Set and Earns Praise from Director Lee Eung Bok

“Descendants of the Sun” has just finished airing, but fans of the show cannot wait to more of actor Song Joong Ki and actress Song Hye Kyo. Just recently, Song Hye Kyo shared some behind the scenes pictures of the series, and director Lee Eung Bok shared what his most memorable scene of the series was.

The first photo shows her smiling at a camera on a sandy beach. The second photo shows the actress and her co-star, Song Joong Ki, getting instructions from director Lee Eung Bok right before filming a scene. In the photo, the two leads of the series look very happy about what their director is telling them to do.

It also seems that Lee Eung Bok is very happy about the series, and according to a report on Insight, he cannot stop praising Song Hye Kyo’s acting abilities.

The director, during the “Descendants of the Sun” Special which aired on April 22, 2016, stated that Song Hye Kyo did a wonderful job, especially in the scene when her character, Doctor Kang Mo Yeon, discovered that Song Joong Ki’s character, Captain Yoo Si-Jin died.

According to Lee Eung Bok, the way that she sobbed during the scene was gut wrenching, as if the tears overflowing in her eyes came from the depths of her  soul.

That scene, according to the report, is also Lee Eung Bok’s “most memorable” scene from the drama.

The series has been lauded as one of the most popular and highly rated dramas for this year. It ended its run on April 14, 2016.

Good that she did. The brand is just using her popularity and the drama's popularity to get more $$. Good to see that the comments support her also. Its not fair to SHK.

I for one thought she was still w/ this company. So, who replaced her? Maybe the newbie is not bringing in dough for the company.

What do I know?

 

[IrisFM]

HyeKyo was featured in Arirang Showbiz Korea for her donation and promotion of Korean. Great to know that HyeKyo and the professor will continue to extend the Korean language service in art galleries in Europe this year onward.

I'm with you.  I am rewatching TWTWB. I suddenly wish that she would appear as a guest star in writer Noh Hee Kyung's upcoming drama "Dear My Friends". 

[blubluchino]

OMG! I've just finish watching DOTS for the third time. I cant seem to get over it. I love KMY/SHK so much in that drama. Her eyes are just mesmerizing and I cant seem to stop looking at her eyes. The things she wants to express, she did it with her eyes. Top class actress, just wonderful!

Song Hye-kyo sues jewelry brand for misappropriation

Updated : April 27 2016

Actress Song Hye-kyo has sued a jewelry firm for using her pictures for promotion though the contract ended in January. 

According to a report by Sports Donga, a law firm representing Song has filed a lawsuit against the company, whose name it did not disclose.
 

(UAA)

The law agency noted that the jewelry firm “is promoting its products using Song’s image through its official website and social network accounts.”

Song signed a contract to endorse the brand in 2014. The company did not extend the contract and it lapsed in January. 

Song, who acted a surgeon Kang Mo-yeon in TV series “Descendants of the Sun” is reportedly taking a bold stand against the undisclosed jewelry firm, as this is not the first time she has sued it for misappropriation. 

In 2013, the company used snaps of her previous work “That Winter, the Wind Blows” to promote its ear accessories without consent. The case was reportedly settled back then.

I know Kyo isn't the muse for J. Estina anymore, but I thought the constant use of her photos by the company has her permission. tsk tsk

Judging J. Estina so hard.  They should have known better.

Park Bogum and Kim Yuna replaced her.  They want to use her popularity/DoTS to promote with paying her.  So shady.  

I noticed they deleted the newest picture of her from IG 

[Smudger]

She did the right thing by sueing them. I hope someone can translate Knetz' comments..wanna know what they think about this issue. It's such a shameful act by J. Estina. They decided not to extend her contract but still wanted to use her pics due to the success of DotS. smh..

I've been refreshing a few websites but so far..no luck. 

[blubluchino]

Shame on J Estina for violated SHK's right. Just because she is in the centre of attention now, doesnt mean anyone can use her popularity without her consent!

"A Reason to Live"

I have just rewatched "A Reason to Live"/"Today" (directed by Lee Jeong Hyang) and found myself again touched and impressed by her deep, real, nuanced and thoughtful acting. Below are a review by Beyond Hollywood on the movie and an interview that Song Hye Kyo conducted on Asiae five years ago after she finished filming the movie. These articles are old, but remain relevant and interesting. I thought that I could share some excerpts with new members who haven't read them yet :). 

A Reason to Live - Movie Review

“A Reason to Live” is the latest film from acclaimed though not particularly prolific Korean writer director Lee Jeong Hyang, following on from her popular 1999 comedy “Art Museum by the Zoo” and 2002 heart warmer “The Way Home”. The film is deeply personal and sympathetic, and whilst it is at times depressing and deals with a catalogue of grim topics including child abuse, rape and murder, it remains for the most part quiet and thoughtful throughout. Although the film is a little slow and anecdotal, in part to Da Hye’s various interviews, which all deal with unresolved stories of suffering, it has sufficient depth to challenge and engage. It’s a determinedly philosophical piece of work, though thankfully in an unaggressive and naturalistic manner, with most of its debates being played out in discussions and arguments between Da Hye and Ji Min. Wisely, despite the film’s religious foundation, Lee never offers any easy answers or the kind of emotional placebos which would have lessened the overall impact, instead seeming to suggest that forgiveness is not only far from easy, but may not always be best. Directed with maturity, the film also benefits from a reasonably clever structure, the narrative progressing both in the present and through a series of well handled flashbacks which reveal more about Da Hye, Ji Min and past events.

Song Hye Kyo, arguably one of the most talented of Korean actresses, is strong in the lead role, with a performance that lifts Da Hye from being a mere symbol or cipher to an actual character who the viewer comes to care about. Initially aloof and cold, Lee does a great job of slowly peeling back her façade, with Song convincingly allowing her emotions to surface. Nam Ji Hyun is similarly impressive, adding depth to the difficult role of Ji Min, who to an extent is largely in the film to act as an ideological sparring partner for Da Hye, as well as an example of someone who unrepentantly refuses to forgive – whether this is justifiably so is left to the viewer to decide by the time the downbeat conclusion rolls around.

A Reason to Live - An Interview with Song Hye Kyo

I felt that your character Da-hye in "A Reason to Live" had always been sort of closed off and never really showed her emotions, regardless of the terrible experience she went through of losing her fiance a year ago.

Her personality gradually became what it is starting from when she was young because there was a line where she said, "My mom and dad parents fought so much when I was young that I always stayed quiet because it felt like everything would break if I shouted too." And that's why she was able to be so forgiving as well. But I was never frustrated by her. She's actually someone that's similar to me in many ways.

That's quite surprising given the more cheerful image you've been loved for by the public shown through your past TV roles and commercials.

I'm sure that my actual personality rubbed off in all of the projects I've been in. But I think that on the inside, Da-hye from "A Reason to Live" is the closest to who I really am. Of course I'm on the cheerful side and talk a lot when I'm with people I'm close to but that's not actually who I am on the inside. I used to not express what I like and dislike and I'm still not that good at it. It's to the point that the moment I feel that the person I'm talking to is uncomfortable because of what I said, I forget about everything we say from that point on. Did I not need to say this? Did this ruin her feelings? Should I say something else to cover it up? These are the sort of things I start worrying about and it gets agonizing so I tell myself that I should just sit quiet and not say anything. But in the end, it's still stressful in the same way and it accumulates. So I go home and agonize over it and then let go of it by myself.

I think that while growing up, a lot of people must've told you that you're mature.

Yes, I did think a lot of people told me that. I wasn't even good at just talking to people when I was young. And I think that I probably wanted to but didn't know how to. It was embarrassing too. I think the fear of feeling ashamed by not getting the response I want from the other person when I say something kept me quiet. But I'm older now and I think I've come to be more comfortable with talking to people. It's even fun these days.

I heard that you met director Lee Jeong Hyang without a script.

I had heard of director Lee Jeong Hyang from a lot of people. And that it’s a shame that she’s been on such a long break when she’s so talented. So I think this slowly drew my interest to her. And when I heard that she’s started on a new project, I said that I wanted to meet her. She first said that from a general standpoint, “A Reason to Live” and I don’t seem to go together so I said we should just meet comfortably then because I can’t do anything about her not liking me. But I think she ended up asking me to do it because after meeting up a few times and several conversations, she probably realized that I’m not who she thought I was.


That makes me think that you’re the type that approaches a project or character very actively when you’re interested in it.

I’d be lying if I said I’m not greedy when it comes to acting but I’m not the kind of person that goes for what’s not in my hands. Instead, if fate places something in my hands, then I get greedy about it and try to do my best with it. I’m not the type that says I’m going to do that, I’m going to have that, when it’s not even mine. I think that if something is meant to be mine, it’ll come to me one day very naturally and if it leaves me, it’ll be because it’s not meant to be mine. Whether it’s with projects anything else.

With work and people as well?

Yes, I think so. If someone is meant to be one of my people, that person will stay by my side no matter what happens and however much it takes and if it's not meant to be, that person could get hurt by even the smallest thing and leave me.

Once you get to know someone, your relationship with that person lasts a long time, right?

As long as that person and I haven’t hurt each other badly or that person hasn’t stabbed me in the back, [laughs] I don’t think I’ve ever let go of someone first. They’re the ones that probably left for something better. And of course it hurts and I feel lonely and empty the moment someone that I cared for a lot leaves me. But I then tell myself that that’s probably as far as our relationship was meant to go. I may have a hard time because of it but what can I do when they’ve made the decisions for their own lives? But there are also people who I keep thinking about even after I’ve let go of them. And in that case, I contact them first. But if not, it’s really goodbye.


Do you think actors should leave everything up to the director or that they should participate actively on what goes on set?

In my case I think it should be both. I place my faith in the director for the most part because of course I read, analyze and prepare myself for the script but they’re the ones that spent much more time thinking about it. And instead I ask about things I don’t understand and give my opinion in parts. I probably told you this before too but it hasn’t been that long since I’ve come to feel responsibility over my projects and gained a thirst for acting. [laughs] Before, everyone I worked with were such great actors that they’re the ones that mostly communicated with the directors. And in a way it was because I didn’t think my opinion would change much and also because I was scared of them saying, ‘What are you talking about?’ when I say something after giving it thought. So I think it was starting with TV series “Sunlight Pours Down” that I discovered the fun to acting. And I started wanting to do more after seeing my opinions get reflected for “Full House.”


As you grow older, your spectrum of acting may widen but I think you must also feel that there are a smaller range of roles to play as an actress in Korea.

I do. People may ask me why I do Chinese movies but there actually aren’t a lot of projects to choose from. And all actors want to play roles they haven’t tried before and experience new genres. Yet on the other hand, the people who make them tend to want to make choices in genres or with characters that are safe and have been proven to work with the public. And there aren’t a lot of people who try to discover new sides to actors and make something out of that. Male actors tend to have a wider variety of choices but that’s not the case for actresses so there’ll be less scripts to choose from and when there’s a good character to play, competition for it goes up. [laughs] There are a lot of actresses around me with precious talents. And people may ask them why they’re not working and not changing but I’m hoping that an environment where actresses can play many and new roles gets created before they start asking about that.


I don’t think you’ve made safe choices though. Your filmography, including “Hwang Jin Yi,” “Fetish,” “Camellia: Love for Sale,” and “A Reason to Live,” show that you’re quite the brave actor. Even if you look just at “Fetish,” the script was close to being about the occult and was about a woman who has the blood of a shaman within her, so in a way, it looks like you took on an adventure.

I can be timid but I also have a bit of a ‘gutsy’ side to me. [laughs] To start with, “Fetish” was about a new subject and the character was refreshing as well so I really wanted to do it. It also wasn’t that burdensome because it was an independent movie that took only about a month to shoot and that too in New York so I was also curious what sort of place that would be like. So it was a bit of an adventure. [laugh] I decided to do it because I thought it would be fun and as I expected, I had a lot of fun shooting it.


How was it working with Tony Leung?

He wouldn't waver, no matter how many takes I'd have to shoot for a scene with whatever kind of acting. It's usually easy to lose your pace or act differently once you shoot a scene several times because your scene partner loses energy. But Tony Leung remained unchanged with his acting no matter how many takes I had to shoot a scene and even when I pronounced my words wrong. I would have burst out laughing if I was in his shoes. He's an amazing actor.


The Chinese media is extremely interested in everything about you and you are probably the most active actress in your age range in China. What sort of changes has pursuing your career in such a big market like China brought to you?

I can't tell directly because I'm not a singer who stands on stage. Oh! But I was surprised when we once went to shoot around Tibet and some elderly people in the countryside recognized me. [laughs] But I think it has changed me, regardless of the acting or my popularity. People usually get stimulated and then mature from travelling overseas right? I too discovered the unsophisticated sides to me by pursuing my activities overseas and improved through my relationships with new people.


Do you think you’re competitive?

I think I am when I start on something new. And it’s not just about the person I’m competing with but also about wanting to do better. I don’t think I need to be competitive with how well a movie does because it’s not entirely the actor’s responsibility. But within a movie, I’m fighting with myself from my previous work. The strongest thought I have is that I need to be better than before because I don’t want people to say that I’ve regressed. [laughs]
