Actress Song Hye Kyo is gaining attention after details of her 2016 fan meeting resurfaced, revealing that she reportedly covered the entire cost of the event herself and invited fans for free.
The story gained renewed interest following her appearance alongside Gong Yoo on the November 14 episode of the YouTube show Pinggyego, hosted by Yoo Jae Suk.
During the conversation, Song Hye Kyo revealed that 2026 marks her 30th debut anniversary. When Yoo Jae Suk asked whether she had planned anything special, she jokingly compared herself to Gong Yoo, who is celebrating his 25th anniversary with an Asian fan meeting tour.
"Gong Yoo is celebrating his 25th anniversary with an Asian tour, but I don't have any plans," she said.
She admitted that holding such events made her feel shy, adding that she was not comfortable singing in front of people.
Song Hye Kyo then recalled the fan meeting she held for her 20th debut anniversary in 2016.
"I've done it once before. I spent three hours just talking and playing games," she shared, explaining that having Park Kyung Lim as the host helped make the event more comfortable.
Meanwhile, Gong Yoo opened up about his concerns over charging fans for his anniversary events.
"It's not free, and that's what bothers me the most," he admitted.
He explained that holding a fan meeting requires venue rental fees and many staff members, making it difficult to organize such an event without charging admission.
Yoo Jae Suk agreed, pointing out that operating and maintaining large events involves significant expenses.
During the discussion, Song Hye Kyo simply nodded without mentioning the financial arrangements of her previous fan meeting.
However, after the video was released, fans brought renewed attention to her 2016 event.
According to reports, Song Hye Kyo personally paid the full cost of her 20th anniversary fan meeting, allowing everyone attending to participate without purchasing tickets.
She also reportedly prepared handwritten letters and purchased products from a brand she represented at the time to give as gifts to every attendee.
Fans praised the actress for not bringing up her own experience while Gong Yoo was discussing the financial challenges of holding fan meetings.
Although Song Hye Kyo did not personally discuss covering the costs during the recent interview, the resurfaced details of her 2016 event have drawn appreciation from fans.
As she celebrates her 30th debut anniversary in 2026, the story has once again highlighted her way of expressing gratitude to those who have supported her throughout her career.
