years. The image’s chapter consist of ‘Times of Hye Kyo’, ‘The child
without a dream’, ‘Workaholic’, ‘More Tears’ and ‘Eventhough I Go Back’.
What is the everyday life like for Song Hye Kyo the person, not the actress. Here she is 14 years after her debut. In her book the author writes, “To live in the real-time of the
internet where your name rises and falls, it is very exhausting. Of
course, it is something that you just have to endure, but it is not an
easy task. Untrue stories keep repeating over and over, and I endure the
discomfort that arises alone. Ultimately, an actress is also just a
woman who lives in the same world.”
In addition, the book reveals stories of ‘The day I bought my first
car,’ ‘Workaholic,’ I like the ocean,’ With the actor, the fan,’
American-style and diet,” etc.
An official from the publishing company raised expectations by
stating, “This book will be like a warm letter to her fans, who for four
years waited patiently for her to have a comeback in Korea as she was
busy working overseas. Also, for women readers in their 20s -30s living
in the same era, the book will replicate the idea of a close friend
sharing her thoughts and intimate stories, so it will be like special
time being spent.” Hye Kyo’s Time, the personal photo essay written by our very own girl!
