Actress Song Hye-kyo’s recent vacation photos have become a hot topic in China, once again proving her enduring popularity among Chinese-speaking fans.

According to Beijing insiders familiar with Chinese entertainment news, multiple internet portals and social media platforms on June 18 featured new photos of Song. The pictures, posted on her personal Instagram account, show her in a natural look—wearing glasses, with a short haircut, and no visible makeup.

In one of the images, she sits by a window wearing a crisp white top, exuding a calm, down-to-earth charm. The effortless and intimate atmosphere has captivated fans, making her appear like the "girl next door" despite her superstar status.

Chinese fans quickly responded with admiration. Comments included: “She doesn’t look 43 at all—she looks younger than a college student. A goddess is truly a goddess,” and “Her short hair flows so softly—it’s beautiful.”

Though Song has kept a lower profile in the Chinese market in recent years, she previously starred in several Chinese films and dramas. She also maintains close friendships with Chinese celebrities, including Zhang Ziyi, who famously attended Song’s wedding in Seoul to offer her congratulations.

Given her long-standing popularity and deep connections in the region, it’s no surprise that even a simple vacation photo continues to spark such enthusiastic attention.
