Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong shine bright at Now, We Are Breaking Up press conference
SBS’ Now, We Are Breaking Up is amongst the most anticipated K-dramas of 2021 as it marks South Korea's sweetheart, Song Hye Kyo’s return to the small screen after nearly two years. With only two days to go for the show’s premiere, the company released their press conference photos online. The images were pre-recorded as they also include the male lead, Jang Ki Yong, who is currently serving in the military.
The actress looked her prettiest self, with the outfit being a mix of formal and informal looks. Looking petite next to the 187 cm-tall Jang Ki Yong, the pictures elicited cute responses from fans. That is until some found Song Hye Kyo looking a bit different than her natural self.
Take a look at the photos below:
Netizens took to theqoo, a popular South Korean community platform, to discuss the images. They talked about the correction being “disappointing” and “weird”. Song Hye Kyo’s skin was edited to make it look too bright, which almost makes her blend with the light-pink background. Her similarly colored dress made the photos look dizzier.
“All I can think of is that I'm going to get sick”
“The filter is so blurry that I can't see her face ㅠㅠㅠㅠ But she looks pretty like that”
“Song Hye-kyo is pretty, but her correction is weird; Looks like old photoshop”
“Editing is weird.”
“Uh.. it's a face I don't know”
“I can't see the pretty face well because the color filter is weird”
“Why did you edit it like this?”
“The first pic was too hazy, and the second pic was too thick and polarized....”
“No, but why the hell did you make the correction like this?”
Meanwhile, other netizens posted unedited pictures of the actress, showing her real beauty. Many users commented that the company should have posted un-edited pictures to capture the actress’s beauty much better.
“The correction was wrong, the original would be prettier haha”
“Why did you make such a frustrating correction? The original is much prettier.”
In the upcoming drama, Song Hye Kyo shares the screen with Jang Ki Yong, the popular actor of My Roommate is a Gumiho and My Mister fame. Jang Ki Yong enlisted in the military on August 23, 2021.
Now, We Are Breaking Up will premiere on November 12, 2021 and will air every Saturday and Sunday at 10 PM KST.
