Song Hye Kyo has wowed fans once again with her flawless beauty and exceptional acting!

On April 1, MBC’s Son Suk Hee’s Questions featured two of Korea’s top screenwriters, Kim Eun Sook and Kim Eun Hee, as they discussed their famous dramas.

Kim Eun Sook mentioned hits like Lovers in Paris, Goblin, and The Glory, while Kim Eun Hee brought up Sign, Signal, and Kingdom.

However, the spotlight quickly turned to The Glory, as Kim Eun Sook shared how a particular scene left her in awe. She said, “I wasn’t sure if the actor could pull it off, but when I saw Song Hye Kyo’s acting, I got chills. I realized she could bring that level of intensity, and I gave her high praise.”

She couldn’t stop complimenting Song Hye Kyo’s portrayal of Moon Dong Eun, calling it absolutely brilliant.

Song Hye Kyo herself shared her thoughts on that unforgettable scene, recalling, “That scene was filmed in the middle of the shoot. By that time, I was completely immersed in Dong Eun. I acted purely based on what I felt on set, and I just followed the emotions from the script and the atmosphere.”

She added, “A few days later, writer Kim Eun Sook called me, and I was worried she didn’t like something. But instead, she told me she loved that scene and thanked me. That made me so happy,” she said with a smile.

Lim Ji Yeon, who played Park Yeon Jin, Moon Dong Eun’s rival in The Glory, also praised the scene, saying, “I thought that was the highlight of the drama. The writer has a way of making everything feel real, even in the most serious moments.”

But it wasn’t just the acting that had fans talking. Song Hye Kyo’s appearance in the video had viewers in awe. She had cut her hair even shorter than her character in The Glory, and fans couldn’t help but notice how youthful and glowing she looked. Many pointed out how much younger she appeared, even compared to her Encounter days seven years ago!

Fans flooded social media, expressing how both her beauty and her acting were on another level. With praise pouring in for her stunning transformation, Song Hye Kyo is proving she only gets better with time!

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
