South Korean actress Song Hye-kyo and Hong Kong actress Joey Wong shared their beauty routines and future career plans at an event Wednesday, highlighting the importance of inner positivity for external radiance. Song, dressed in a white V-neck gown, admitted using face masks at home when time is limited but believes true beauty stems from a confident and optimistic mindset. She manages stress by socializing over drinks for mild strains but prefers solitude when facing high pressure.
Joey Wong confessed to feeling starstruck meeting Song for the first time. “I was very nervous because I had to look good working with a goddess,” she said. She regretted eating half a bag of chips the night before, which led to a breakout. Wong is healing from a scar on her upper lip, which she typically covers with a band-aid. However, the scar suited her character in a recent Chinese film, allowing her to skip makeup entirely. “I hope it fades slowly, so for now, it’s a limited edition that helps my role,” she commented.
Wong plans to try stage acting next year and is eager to enter the Korean drama scene. Her drama preferences have shifted from romantic comedies to horror since marriage. Her dream co-star is Jun Ji-hyun, whom she admires for her healthy image and modern beauty. Wong also expressed joy over actor Zhu Kang-kang’s public relationship, saying she screamed at the news and is happy for him.
The event underscored a growing blend of Korean and Chinese entertainment and a broader definition of beauty that includes inner well-being. Both actresses conveyed that authenticity and self-acceptance are essential in both skincare and career progression.
