However, she admitted that it's a different story when her family is targeted, saying that it truly breaks her heart.

The actress said that she's adopted a philosophical approach to life, believing that if something is meant to be, it will happen. She's learned to let go of disappointment and trust that everything will work out, with no regrets about past experiences.

'The present is important': Song Hye Kyo
The Descendants of the Sun star emphasised the importance of living in the present moment. She said that she believes in staying focused and strong in the current moment; she'll be able to navigate her acting career and make the most of the diverse roles she's being offered, ultimately leading to a bright future.
"The present is important. Acting is still difficult, but as I grow older, I¡¯m being offered more diverse roles. I¡¯m learning what to pursue and what to let go of. If I stay strong in the present, I believe I¡¯ll have a bright future.'
Song, who has a great rapport among her co-stars, added that she's grateful for the kindness she receives from her colleagues and peers, who often send her food trucks on the sets. 'Whenever I work on a project, seniors, colleagues, and juniors send me snack trucks. I always try to repay their kindness.'
'I've never thought about being at the top'
Despite being one of the greatest Hallyu stars of all time, the actress has a grounded approach to her career. She said that she is not focusing on being at the top or worrying about her fame fading. Instead, she prioritizes working hard and letting her career unfold naturally, accepting that her time in the spotlight will come to an end when it's meant to.
"I've never thought about being at the top, and I don't worry about suddenly disappearing. When the time comes, I'll fade away naturally. Until then, I just have to work hard."
