Song Hye Kyo's witty reaction to Kang Min Kyung's wine expertise

Actress Song Hye Kyo drew laughter with her unexpected and flustered reaction to singer Kang Min Kyung's professional wine tasting. At a wine launch party where top stars gathered, Song, who had been enjoying the tasting comfortably, remarked, “I think I sat in the wrong seat” upon hearing Kang's unexpected use of professional terminology, adding a comedic contrast between the two.

On the 18th, a video titled “I'll host the party. Who wants to drink wine? (Jung Jae-hyung, Kim Wan-sun, Go Hyeon-jeong, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Jae Joong, Ahn Shin-ae, Kang Min Kyung, Kim Min Ha)” was released on Uhm Jeong-hwa's YouTube channel.

The video centers on a launch party organized to celebrate the release of a wine bearing Uhm's name. The party showcased a glamorous network of stars, including Song Hye Kyo, Kang Min Kyung, Go Hyeon-jeong, Kim Min Ha, Kim Jae Joong, Kim Wan-sun, and Jung Jae-hyung, who are known to be close friends.

Before the formal tasting began, Uhm appeared somewhat nervous as she introduced her wine to the attendees. She expressed both anticipation and concern for her wine, saying, “Thank you. It tastes great to me, but I wonder how it will be for others.”

Upon tasting the first wine, Kang immediately exclaimed, “It's really delicious.” Sitting next to her, Song also expressed satisfaction, noting, “It's good because it's light.” Both appeared to be enjoying the wine in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

The mood shifted when they began tasting other wines. When Kang lifted her glass, examined the flavor, and prepared to give a serious evaluation by saying, “Unnie, this one is...”, the attention of the attendees naturally focused on her.

Kang appeared somewhat burdened by the surrounding interest, reacting shyly by saying, “Ah, this is too much pressure?” However, moments later, while explaining the wine's flavor, she evaluated it by saying, “I can feel the terroir.”

‘Terroir’ is a term used in relation to wine to refer to the concept that the environmental characteristics of a production site—such as the soil, climate, and topography in which the grape variety grows—influence the character of the grapes and the wine. It is a professional expression that goes beyond simply saying a wine is “delicious” or “light” by pointing out the connection between the production environment and the flavor.

Song burst into laughter at Kang's sudden use of professional terminology. She caused laughter on set by saying, “I think I sat in the wrong seat.”

Song's comment was a witty way to contrast her own image of simply enjoying the wine comfortably with Kang, who was seriously analyzing the taste like a wine expert. Above all, rather than undermining the other's expertise, she showed natural comedic sense by responding with a self-deprecating joke about the unexpected atmosphere.

The behavior of the two aligns with their publicly known images. Kang has expanded her field of activity by actively expressing her tastes and sense in fashion and lifestyle in addition to her singing career. As she has shared her daily life and preferences through content, including her interest in food, alcohol, and fashion, her wine tasting on this day was accepted naturally.

While Song has mostly portrayed restrained and serious characters in her works, she has revealed a surprisingly candid and cheerful side in private settings or variety content, showing another dimension of her charm. This time as well, after encountering difficult wine terminology, she wrapped up the situation with the short phrase “I sat in the wrong seat,” delivering a natural reaction rather than a staged laugh for the camera.

In particular, the party drew interest because stars who have been active in their respective fields for a long time gathered in one place. The attendees, gathered to celebrate Uhm's wine launch, continued the tasting in a relatively informal atmosphere while sharing their tastes and experiences.

Recently, wine has become a cultural medium in the entertainment industry that goes beyond a simple alcoholic beverage to showcase an individual's taste and lifestyle. As cases of celebrities introducing wines under their own names increase, trends are shifting toward the importance of brand storytelling and consumer experience, not just production and distribution.

In this context, Uhm's launch party naturally became a place to reveal individual personalities through the combination of a glamorous gathering of stars and the subject of wine. From Uhm's nervous introduction of her wine to Kang's serious evaluation and Song's witty reaction, the different characters of the attendees meshed to create variety-style entertainment.

Ultimately, one of the most impressive scenes was the difference in how the participants perceived the wine. Kang explained the wine using the professional term ‘terroir,’ while Song lightheartedly defused the moment by saying, “I think I sat in the wrong seat.” Even at a glamorous party for top stars, the most memorable moments weren't the grand production, but the natural collision of different personalities and tastes.
