In July 2023, at the prestigious Blue Dragon Series Awards, Song Hye Kyo secured her place as a legend in the world of Korean entertainment by winning the coveted Daesang award. The Daesang, or “Grand Prize,” is the highest honor one can achieve at such esteemed award ceremonies, representing the public’s recognition of an artist’s exceptional contributions.
This recognition not only highlights Song Hye Kyo’s outstanding talent but also underscores her significant contributions to the Korean entertainment industry. While many actresses have held the Daesang trophy, achieving it multiple times is a rare feat.
Leading the list of “Actresses with the Most Daesang Awards” is the legendary Kim Hye Ja (1941), who has amassed eight Daesang trophies over her career spanning six decades. Following closely behind is Kim Hee Ae (1967), an iconic figure in Korean television for nearly four decades, who currently holds four Daesang awards. Tied with Kim Hee Ae is Kim Hye Soo (1970), another four-time Daesang winner known for her powerful and distinctive portrayals of strong female characters.
Song Hye Kyo (1981) occupies the last spot on this list with three prestigious Daesang awards. With nearly 27 years in showbiz, she has become one of South Korea’s most celebrated actresses, leaving a mark with hit dramas like “Autumn in My Heart,” “Full House,” “Descendants of the Sun,” and “The Glory.”
Many believe that Song Hye Kyo’s professional acting skills, combined with her timeless beauty at the age of 41, will continue to earn her significant accolades in the future. Her elegance and charisma make her a constant focal point in the public eye, ensuring her status as a true legend in the Korean entertainment industry.
