In 2017, Song ranked 7th in Forbes magazine’s Korea Power Celebrity 40 list,[5] and 6th in 2018.[6]She is referred to as one of “The Troika”, along with Kim Tae-hee and Jun Ji-hyun, collectively known by the acronym “Tae-Hye-Ji”. The success of Song’s television dramas internationally established her as a top hallyu star.[7]
When Song was born, she was so ill that her parents and doctors did not think that she would survive. Upon her recovery, Song’s parents registered her birth on February 26, 1982 (instead of her actual birthdate, November 22, 1981).[4]
Song’s parents divorced when she was a young girl, after which she was raised by her mother.[8] They moved from her birthplace in Daegu to the Gangnam District in Seoul, where she trained as a figure skater in elementary school but quit when she was in the eighth grade.[9] Song considered herself shy and introverted, but when she attended Ewha Girls’ High School she was described by her high school teacher as having a “cheerful character, she mixed well with her friends and was always in a bright mood”.[10][11] Song Hye-kyo attended Sejong University, where she majored in Film Arts.[12]
