K-drama star Song Hye-kyo talks about love, living through tough times, her personal jewellery style and why she launched Chaumet’s Bee My Love collection
The South Korean star of record-breaking drama series Descendants of the Sun is enjoying connecting with her creative spirit through the Parisian maison’s quirky new insect-themed campaign, at a time when sharing matters more than ever
Song Hye-kyo is creating a buzz again – in more ways than one. The Korean actress is back with a bee-inspired campaign for Chaumet, for whom she is the Asia-Pacific brand ambassador. The quirky jewellery collection, named Bee My Love, comes at a time when fun times are few and far between, and Song says she finds the versatility of the pieces “inspiring and invigorating”.
“I love the design of the collection, its natural beauty, vivacity and fashionable style,” she says. “The stackability of Bee My Love inspires the wearer to create a style that expresses her own personality and charm. The jewellery pieces also go well with my daily look – relaxed, effortless and natural.”
Here, the 38-year-old star tells us about her thoughts on tough times, acting, love, her personal style and more.
Every relationship is one-of-a-kind, and there is no standard answer to what to do or say when communicating with your significant other. Love is such a conundrum of life, intricate and complicated
How she has been coping during these difficult times
“I have learned a lot about myself during this time. I have learned to cherish the people in my life who have stood by me through the most challenging times. At the end of the day, all we have is each other and all we can offer one another during this time is love and kindness. Love, care and share with people around you, because they may need it more than you think.”
Why she loves acting
“As [with] other people, it’s hard [for me] to express every feeling. However, as an actress, I can vent my emotions through the roles that I play and in turn reward my own feelings. Perhaps for that reason in particular, I still find acting very enjoyable.”
