Song Hye-kyo’s Stunning Short Hair Look Sparks Praise “Even More Radiant Than 7 Years Ago”

Veteran actress Song Hye-kyo is once again setting new beauty standards this time with a bold new short haircut that’s drawing praise across the internet. Many fans claim she looks even younger than she did during her 2018 drama “Encounter“.

On the April 1st broadcast of MBC’s “Sohn Suk-hee’s Questions”, star screenwriters Kim Eun-sook (The Glory, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Lovers in Paris) and Kim Eun-hee (Signal, Kingdom, Sign) appeared as guests to discuss their most iconic works and behind-the-scenes moments.
“Bravo, Yeonjin!” — The Glory’s Defining Scene
One of the most talked-about topics was Song Hye-kyo’s chilling performance as Moon Dong-eun in “The Glory“. Kim Eun-sook revealed that the now-famous “Bravo, Yeonjin!” scene left her in awe.

“I was worried whether an actress would accept that scene. When I saw Song Hye-kyo’s performance, I literally got goosebumps. She elevated the tension so much. I praised her immensely.”
Song Hye-kyo reflected on that moment.
“That was around the middle of filming, and I was already fully immersed in the character Dong-eun. I wasn’t calculating anything; I acted purely on what I felt at that moment. Somehow, I became Moon Dong-eun.”
She smiled while recalling a surprise call from the writer a few days later.
“I was worried she didn’t like the scene, but instead she told me she loved it. That made me really happy.”

Beyond the acting accolades, Song Hye-kyo’s latest appearance also turned heads for her radiant visuals. Her new short haircut, even shorter than during “The Glory“, highlighted her youthful charm and elegant features, with fans praising her for yet another visual “peak.”

On online forums and social media, netizens flooded comment sections with admiration:
- “She looks younger than she did 7 years ago in ‘Encounter‘.”
- “That short cut suits her perfectly she glows.”
- “How does she age backwards? Total goddess.”
