Styled in Celine’s resort ’21 collection, and with jewels by Chaumet, actress and K-drama phenomenon Song Hye Kyo is captured by photographer Hong Jang Hyun for Vogue Hong Kong’s December cover story. In an exclusive interview inside, the actress reveals her inspirations, how she unwinds amid a hectic schedule, working with Wong Kar-Wai and the enduring appeal of K-dramas.
What was it like working with Wong Kar-wai in The Grandmaster? Are there any other producers, directors or actors that you would like to work with?
I have always been a fan of his movies since I was young and I am very fortunate to have worked with him. I had an amazing experience as an actress working with Wong Kar-wai on The Grandmaster. As you may already know, The Grandmaster shooting period was very long so I was able to spend a good amount time to think to myself. Now looking back, it was such a precious memory for me to have all that time to think and reflect. There are so many great producers, directors and actors these days. I am always looking forward to meeting directors or actors that I can connect with and I’m excited to find out who they will be.

Rather than a favourite type of role to play, I would like to try a role within a mystery/thriller genre in the future. I worked shortly on an independent film which was mystery/thriller and it was very interesting so I thought it would be nice to experience the genre in a Korean production. I hope to one day be able to fulfil this desire to be in a a good production in the genre.

In the beginning I always start off as myself, Song Hye Kyo, and as I live day to day as the character during production, I become more and more like the character until in the end, I find myself immersed in the character. Because there is a good amount of time living as the character during production and because I think only about the project at hand and the character itself, I find myself naturally immersed in the character.

I think that K-dramas have a strong story-line, great directing and are played amazingly well by many talented actors/actresses. When these three things come together, you cannot help but to fall in love with the work. Also, I think K-dramas tend to have quick pivots in the story-line which makes them exciting to watch.
