• Song Hye Kyo’s angel-like kindness is going viral again — stories of her quietly helping students and saying no to big ad money touch fans' hearts

    Actress Song Hye Kyo is once again making headlines — not for a new drama, but for her kind heart.

    A recent comment under an old video of the web variety show Fairy Jae Hyeong, which aired back in January and featured Song Hye Kyo, is spreading fast on online communities. The comment shared a heartwarming story that fans say is “too good to keep to yourself.”

    One netizen revealed, “A long time ago, a professor sent letters to celebrities who modeled for apartment ads."

    The netizen added, "He believed their big endorsement fees made apartment prices go up. Most stars ignored him—but only Song Hye Kyo replied. And after that, she didn’t renew her apartment commercial deal.”

    But that’s not all.

    The same netizen also shared a sweet moment from about 20 years ago. While filming a commercial, Song Hye Kyo was scheduled to give a scholarship to a student from a financially struggling background.

    At first, the company planned to record the moment on camera. But Song Hye Kyo reportedly said, “The student might feel hurt or embarrassed since they’re at a sensitive age.” In the end, she gave the scholarship privately, without filming anything.

    The commenter praised her, saying, “Even when she was young, she was full of kindness. Isn’t she an angel?”

    Even the staff of Fairy Jae Hyeong noticed the touching story and gave the comment a ‘like’ on YouTube.

    Fans couldn’t stop praising her, saying things like:

    “She’s amazing,”
    “Her face and heart are both angelic,”
    “She’s always been thoughtful,”
    “Stories like this should be shared,”
    and “She’s seriously god-perfect.”

    It seems like Song Hye Kyo’s beauty shines even brighter because of her warm heart.

  • 'Weak Hero 2' takes over Netflix and sends webtoon sales skyrocketing 20 times

    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.
