Viral Clip Reveals Song Hye Kyo’s True Character Behind the Scenes at Baeksang 2025
Although the 2025 Baeksang Arts Awards have concluded, backstage footage continues to circulate widely on social media. Among the most viral clips is a moment showing Song Hye Kyo greeting colleagues and seniors before the ceremony began.
Specifically, in a short clip recorded by an audience member behind the scenes, artists had about 15 minutes to settle into their seats before the ceremony started. Event staff escorted the stars to their designated spots, and Song Hye Kyo was guided to her seat by a male staff member. However, during the walk, Song Hye Kyo paused and even “changed route”, walking past her seat and making the staff wait. The reason? She wanted to greet her colleagues. In the short video, Song Hye Kyo can be seen making an intentional stop to greet MC Yoo Jae-suk, then warmly greeting senior actress Yeom Hye-ran, and finally bowing to a junior before taking her seat.
This brief moment has gone extremely viral, with many praising Song Hye Kyo for her kindness and collegiality. Commenters noted that this is precisely why, after more than 20 years in the industry, Song Hye Kyo maintains strong, lasting relationships with peers and has never faced public criticism about her character or professionalism. Others remarked that with her current status, she could have simply remained seated and still commanded attention—yet she chose to personally greet others.
Beyond this moment, throughout the ceremony, the program’s cameras repeatedly captured Song Hye Kyo attentively watching the proceedings and clapping in celebration of her colleagues. When close friends won awards, she was even spotted holding back tears. Though she did not take home an award this year, Song Hye Kyo’s conduct during the entire event won her immense praise and cemented her as one of the most talked-about stars at this year’s Baeksang Awards.
As the clip continues to trend, Song Hye Kyo is once again proving that elegance and humility never go out of style—and that sometimes, the most memorable performances happen off-stage.
