Song Hye-kyo, acting like a crazy bitch didn't just come out.

Actress Song Hye-kyo revealed that she built a scrawny body rather than a pretty body for the role of Moon Dong-eun in the Netflix series 'The Glory'.

In the 'The Glory' behind-the-scenes commentary released on the 6th, writer Kim Eun-sook, director Ahn Gil-ho, Song Hye-kyo, Lim Ji-yeon, Lee Do-hyun, and Yeom Hye-ran appeared and told stories.

Writer Kim Eun-sook revealed the process of casting Song Hye-kyo. Regarding the scene in the play where Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) shows Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do-hyun) a scene full of burn scars, writer Kim said, "I told Song Hye-kyo, 'There is a scene like this and I really need it. If you feel burdened, please tell me.' He said, ‘Then give me some time.’” He added, "He said I needed to lose some weight. He said I needed to build a scrawny body, not a pretty body. From then on, I ate konjac rice to build my body. I was so thankful and sorry."

Song Hye-kyo said, "I thought Moon Dong-eun couldn't be pretty. That's why I didn't think about being pretty. I thought she didn't care too much, but Dong-eun is a character who doesn't think about such things at all." She added, "I hope people who see it feel sick because she's not pretty but she's scrawny. “I thought about it, and I thought that’s where the focus should go,” he explained.

Song Hye-kyo also added, "During this filming, there was almost no monitoring on site. I was afraid that if people saw me, I would get stuck in something, so I thought, 'Let's not monitor this time.'"

Then, in the scene in the gym where Moon Dong-eun applauds and cheers for Park Yeon-jin (played by Lim Ji-yeon) to win the award, it was written in the fingerprint, "Clap like 'crazy He said, ‘Please do it.’ And then I think it got stronger,” he said, laughing.

Song Hye-kyo also said about the viewers' reaction to her new acting transformation, "There were a lot of reactions like that when I saw the preview, but I felt a bit regretful. I worked harder because I thought, 'What have I done so far?' and 'Have I not shown myself like this?' “I thought I should do it,” he said.

'The Glory' is a work depicting the cruel revenge that Moon Dong-eun, whose soul was broken by violence during his childhood, risked his entire life to carefully prepare. It is currently airing on Netflix.
