Song Hye Kyo 송혜교 ~Hyebaragi~ Upcoming Drama 2021: The Glory / Magazine Cover :Harper's Bazaar for March / 1st Korean Muse for Fendi

[Guest xyzebra]

Hey all! I've missed you guise! A big thank you to all for for updating and tending to this thread with care and love .   

There have been so many positive comments about SHG on Naver and even Nate. Although I won't be translating word for word, many of the top comments share our sentiment of wanting to see more of SHG on the small and  big screens. Amen to that, sistas!

C-netz and C-stars also can't get enough of SHG! I made a gif set of a short convo between Du Chen, a Chinese actor, and the host Jin Xing of the Jin Xing Talk Show on Shanghai Oriental TV. In the captions, I use the abbreviation DC for Du Chen and MJ for Jin Xing, or Miss Jin. 

TL;DR points of the convo:

1. DC wants to marry SHG (LOL). Get in line, mister.

2. Jin Xing offers to take DC to Korea next month because she has a drama project there. Apparently, Jin Xing's boss for this project is also SHG's boss.  Does DC have any hopes of catching a sight of SHG the ninja?

Background facts: 

1. The host, Jin Xing, is actually one of the few officially approved trans woman in China who is Korean by ethnicity. Her Korean name is Kim Song. She is sassy and to the point; you may think of her as your female and more tame RuPaul. 

2. The old guy sitting next to DC is his dad. Jin Xing asked if he knows who SHG is. He was like, "I have no idea". LOL. Also do you guys notice anything familiar? That grey sweater is the cardigan version of the Thom Browne sweater worn by YSJ in the first episode.

In the Actress, the fans and the Song Hye Kyo's thread

I started to like Song Hye Kyo in 2001 while watching "Autumn in my heart". It was her first Korean drama in a main role and it was my first Korean drama as a viewer. The impression was so deep. It was almost "love at first sight" because I came to like her very fast; but it was not really "love at first sight" because what I liked about her in the drama was not merely her appearance, but more importantly, her touching performance in the role of Eun Suh.

For a guy like me, it was rare, and is still rare, to have a character in a drama and an actress who did not only capture my eyes but also touched my heart. Just that, she naturally entered into my life as my favorite actress. Gradually, she also impressed me with her working ethics and personality from which I actually learned a lot. I'm a guy and I'm not younger than her. I'm not obsessed with her either because I still have my personal life and professional life to take care of. But she has earned me as a viewer, heart and mind and been in that position since then.

I started to know this thread in 2008 while watching "Worlds Within" (my favorite drama until today). The first time I saw the thread, I liked it. It was not only because people here love Song Hye Kyo. Equally important to me, it was the way that most of them showed their love to Song Hye Kyo and the way they interacted with each other. There were ups and downs. There were happy time and sad time. But most of the time, while people here were very dedicated and loyal, they were open minded and friendly. Sometimes they were understandably nervous and worried for Song Hye Kyo. Sometimes they were reasonably upset. But most of the time they were calm and respectful, even when they were having a debate.

As a guy, I must admit that I was not as patient and understanding as they were. By silently observing, I learned from them. They reminded me a lot of Song Hye Kyo. There are members of the thread who were active then and remain active now. Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to them. I believe you know who you are and I hope to continue to see you here.

Due to a variety of reasons, including my studying and work commitments and the fact that I'm a guy who belong to the absolute minority here, I kept my status as a silent observer until I read the excerpts in Song Hye Kyo's book "Hye Kyo's Time", especially the chapter that I posted below. As it took me years to have my first post, I really appreciate those who decided to make an account to show support to Song Hye Kyo after years of silence and I think it is a pity if they turn again to their silent mode due to a misunderstanding either here or anywhere else.

To members who are thinking of turning again to silent mode: of course I would totally understand and respect your decision, I just want to let you know that as long as you still love Song Hye Kyo, you are always welcome to come back here. To new members: welcome to the thread, I hope to see you here as often as you can.

You may have seen me in some other threads (which are all related to Song Hye Kyo by the way), but this thread is where I consider a “virtual house”, a place to come back. When we live in a “house”, it is unavoidable that sometimes we disagree with each other. But as far as I observe, what remains unchanged in this “house” is that most people are respectful, understanding, nice and calm even when they are having a debate. I may be biased, but to me this is one of the most peaceful and friendly online threads that I have visited.

And regardless of the differences we have, there is at least one thing that we share in common: our love for Song Hye Kyo. I hope that this love will bring us all back together.

In the Actress, the Fans

... My fans, most of them have been with me since I started till now. And most of their characters and personalities are surprisingly same as mine. No worries, not panicky, not particularly concerned about news and anxious to express their views. They silently support me, trusting me. And I trust them too...

Thank you all for your very encouraging comments and and nice messages. I was moved and very surprised to receive so much support as I didn't think I deserve it. Thank you @MasY for your understanding. Thank you @twtwb. I was moved to tears when I read your post. I agree with you that this the most peaceful and friendly place. I also agreed that people here are so nice, warm, understanding and friendly. I now know why SHK is so proud of her fans and trust her fans so much. I don't know Korean or Chinese and don't write as beautifully, but I will be here and I will not leave again no matter what happens. Thanks.

So, we are all good!

Nobody will jump off the KYO ship!

Kyonatics need to unite as ONE!

Our KYO and our fond memories with her all throughout her career; rain or shine, sleet or hail, tears and joy are so precious to us,

Nothing or nobody would take that away from us!

We are Kyonatics through and through!

Thanks, ewff and @MasY for running back to us!

Thanks, twtwb for being the mother hen that every Kyonatic needs!

Aja aja fighting!

@MasY and @ewff. Yes as @twtwb nicely said, this is THE HOUSE. I'm wondering whether SHK would know the existence of this lovely house or not. If she knows it, she will be so proud.

[hclover96 39,950]

@MasYand @ewff, so happy to see both of you coming back to this thread  

@xyzebra, haha, your last gif killed me   Have I told you how much I love your crazy gifs where you put in your own commentaries?  Thanks for the translations and super impressed with your language skills because you know both Chinese and Korean.

@twtwb, I've told you how much a fan I am of your writing already.  Your posts always touched me and this one is no different.  I have to say I'm surprised to read that you're a male   But that makes it even better since we are mostly females here and it's nice to get a different perspective from a male

 

SHK's baidu bar made a MV of Kyo's CF compilation

Speaking of CFs, according to a post from weibo a few days ago by a pretty reliable Chinese SHK fan, Kyo will be ending her 'hiatus' soon (4/20) and will be working on CFs and pictorials .  Hopefully this news is true as we are thirsty for any new project from her.

I'm kinda lost to what happened, I back read few pages since I last posted but I'm still clueless.  But I'm glad everything is all settled down after all we are here for our love and devotion to Song Hye Kyo as everyone here stated already.

I want to give huge thanks and sincere gratitude to hclover96 and twtwb for the updates, news and other related information to Song Hye Kyo.  I like the article from StarN.

My fellow Kyonatics, thank you for keeping the thread alive and I share your sentiments and I love reading all the post here, its my stress reviler from workloads.  

Last week, I felt, I need to do something to show my appreciation to Song Hye Kyo and end up buying Laneige products... I was shocked to see the total bill but end up paying it after all I trust Song Hye Kyo. 

 

[metal 102]

My first post here after a silent supporter for decades

SHK is my long time favorite since I watched her first drama " Autumn in My Heart"  

I am not saying I'm a true kynotic because even I watched all her dramas I don't go to forum to read about her life /news 

I'm busy with work , kids and other stuff and sometimes I feel I'm too old for this haha

But her recent come back with the success of dots that made me just so happy for her 

but at the same time I feel very bad when reading some comments here and there criticizing her acting ( saying she is bland , boring ) which totally discounted all her efforts, hard work and dedications 

I also feel a little bit unfair when the main actors got so much attention and credit , SHK is just hybernating in her comfort zone , quiet and humble 

I hope she will always be happy , act more and receive recognition she well deserves 

[mizuki85 2,474]

I forgot one name used to be active, sis @rubylia where are you? You may not know me. I love your posts on SHK.

SHK looks so gorgeous in black. Photographer, can I ask one more photo of her in black? 

  

Also one of my fav, she is like a princess in fairy tale. Hope that she can be one and partnered with ...let s say...ummm when talking about princess, what I have in my mind is ...Chris Evans or Chris Pine. That would be great to see her with a handsome Hollywood star.

[crixa 4,752]

That is beautiful @twtwb. Your writing is impressive, I'm a bit jealous, keke at the same time, I'm glad Kyo has a fan like you, and a male at that! It was love at first sight for me when I saw her on a Chinese channel. I'm a girl and I'm in love with her. Kept on watching autumn in my heart dubbed in Chinese albeit I did not understand a word and I was in fourth grade at that time! Thank you for sharing the excerpt from Hye Kyo's book and of course @khxyfor the translation. We aren't as vocal as other celebs' fans. But I believe we're as passionate, perhaps even more. We try to emulate Kyo's personality as much as possible. Kyonatics try to be classy and respectful just like her. As fans, we keep our behavior in check, since it will reflect on Kyo.
Thank you @MasY and @ewff for coming back. Welcome @metal!

@sunflower91_ my pleasure sunbae! I'll try my best to contribute to this wonderful thread. 

[Guest xyzebra]

@hclover96, Hahah! Thank you for the compliment! It means a lot because I do worry sometimes that my commentaries are off-kilter to some.  And thank you again for all your updates! <3 

@twtwb, Woah! I had no idea you are a guy! What a rare panda you are in this part of the woods!  I love reading your posts here and elsewhere as they reflect the calmness and eloquence of SHG. And I agree with you and others that this thread is a piece of heaven on this forum, mostly because many of the posters here share SHG's personality  

@metal, whaaaa? Too old for fun? Never Welcome to this thread! 

@Amethyst, *sheepishly raises hand* I have also purchased items endorsed or worn by SHG since contracting DOTS fever! Hahah! I iz weak! My cousin in KR went nuts with the Laneige two tone lip-bars, J.Estina products, and the likes. SHG's spokeswoman power is no joke, especially in KR and CHN right now. Besides Jeon Ji-hyung, I really can't think of another KR actress that can single-handedly increase a company's revenue within a span of 2 months. 

@ all who worry about language barriers, don't worry! We'll understand you just fine since you speak the language of love and mutual respect!

Excerpt interview of writer Kim Won Seok

 

http://joynews.inews24.com/php/news_view.php?g_menu=700210&g_serial=953096&rrf=n

 

Kim Won Seok(co writer of DOTS) gave two thumbs up and was really satisfied with Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki's performance.

 

He's happy to be able to choose such amazing actors.He is a fan of Go Hyun Jung and Song Hye Kyo, thus he is honoured to be able to work with both actresses. (He worked with GHJ in Queen's classroom)

He also said that there's no need to give any comments regarding the actors' performance, all performed well.To be able to write a  character that suits each of them, he is grateful.

" While i was watching the drama at home, i often think that Song Hye Kyo did exceptionally well. Kang Mo Yeon is someone that has doctor's quality and at the same time she is also worldly.There were some scenes that requires her to cry and laugh afterwards.Kang Mo Yeon had many emotional and comical scenes and that means she had many emotional turning point.  Eventhough she claimed that it's really difficult to act, but in my eyes she did extremely well.Of course, regarding her beautiful face,i want to praise it from the bottom of my heart."

Is this for real? This is such a pleasant surprise from Song Hye Kyo. Can't wait to see the Q&A.

[song6416 785]

Today is such a good day in the SHK's thread. We are united and now we have the chance to ask her questions. Let me think of the questions I should ask her. Should I send the link of this thread to K-pop Herald and ask K-pop to ask her if she knows of our existence? Do you agree for me to do it?

[Layna Minho 349]

I miss my beauty Song Hye Kyo so much I hope we will able to have a lot of interviews, photoshoots of her this week, fingers crossed.

Hope Song Hye Kyo gets to work with Lee Min Ho!!!

 

It should be mentioned that Song Hye Kyo is the one actress that Lee Min Ho has specifically mentioned, in a prior interview, that he wanted to work with someday. He was quoted as saying, 'I would like to work with my ideal type, Song Hye Kyo sunbae (senior). Although she has an elegant and classic style, her charisma is also strong and her acting talent is outstanding. If we act together, I think I could learn a lot from her. But I'd probably tremble (be nervous) a lot.'
