Actress Song Hye-kyo signs exclusive contract with STAND

Agency STAND announced on the 23rd that it has signed an exclusive contract with actress Song Hye-kyo, who is set to appear in the Netflix series "Tantara" releasing on December 11.

Actress Song Hye-kyo is beginning a second chapter of her career by joining a new agency. Following the powerful impression she left worldwide with "The Glory" and her portrayal of a different side in the film "Dark Nuns," attention is focused on what steps she will take in her new home. As she approaches the release of her next project, interest is also high regarding how this exclusive contract will influence her future activities.

STAND announced in an official statement on the 23rd that it has signed an exclusive contract with Song Hye-kyo. "We find it deeply meaningful to be with Song Hye-kyo," the agency stated, adding, "We will provide meticulous support so that she can focus on her works and acting." The agency further expressed its intention to be a reliable partner for her overall activities, both domestically and internationally, as well as her film and television work.

While Song Hye-kyo has established herself as a representative actress of Korea for a long time, she has constantly attempted changes and expanded her acting range rather than settling for a familiar image. In particular, in the Netflix series "The Glory," she broke away from her existing melodrama image to deliver intense acting as Moon Dong-eun, a character who meticulously designs revenge while carrying the scars of school violence. She left a deep impression on domestic and international viewers by expressing the character's inner self through restrained expressions, a low voice, and acting that does not easily reveal emotions.

She also took on a new challenge in the film "Dark Nuns." By portraying a character with a different texture than those shown in her previous works, she demonstrated her will to change and expand her acting spectrum. Her attempt to convincingly embody new characters rather than repeating images familiar to her in every work is one of the reasons she remains a person of interest despite her long career.

This move to a new agency is also drawing attention as a process of preparing for the next stage of her career as an actress. This is because the agency's support system serves as an important factor as the scope of an actress's activities expands to include not only project selection and acting but also domestic and international promotions and various content collaborations. However, what specific changes will occur following this contract is expected to be confirmed through her upcoming works and activities.

STAND plans to actively support Song Hye-kyo's acting activities while simultaneously expanding its business scope into overall content through various collaborations. Interest is also gathering on what kind of synergy will be created between Song Hye-kyo, who possesses long experience and global recognition, and her new agency.

Song Hye-kyo is scheduled to meet viewers again through the Netflix series "Tantara." The project, which features collaboration with writer Noh Hee-kyung and director Lee Yun-joung, is set to be released on December 11. Expectations are growing to see what kind of acting transformation Song Hye-kyo, standing at the starting line with her new agency, will show through her next work.
