Kang Dong Won Remarks that Song Hye Kyo Isn′t as Short as He Thought She Was


Standing tall at 186 centimeters, Kang Dong Won shared that Song Hye Kyo was taller than he thought she was.

On August 4, Kang Dong Won, along with his co-star Song Hye Kyo, attended the press conference for their upcoming movie My Palpitating Life at the CGV Theaters in Apgujeong.

When asked about the height difference between the main leads, Kang Dong Won shared, “I’m a little over 186 centimeters and Song Hye Kyo is 161 centimeters. Honestly, she’s not really on the short side.”

He continued, “People around me kept asking, ‘Isn’t Song Hye Kyo really short?’ so I just thought she was, but when I first met her for the movie, she was taller than I expected. I thought the height on her profile is correct.”

Song Hye Kyo bashfully laughed, saying she’s really not that tall, making Kang Dong Won reiterate that she was taller than he thought she was.

My Palpitating Life is about two young parents of a child suffering from progeria. The movie premieres on September 3.

kang dong won's interview in general seems rude and this interview felt rude as well.

Hmm, really? How did he and the interview seem rude to you?

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

it's the way he said it, like song hye gyo's height isn't her best trait and it just seemed rude to talk about how tall or short she is. meh i think you'd understand what i mean if you read the korean quote.

the more problematic thing was his interview for kun do, like how the reporter asked him on the central theme of the movie, which was the rebellion of the masses, and he was like well i don't think that's it at all, in fact i think it's my line in the movie that's really the important part of the movie etc. there was also how the reporters were like you looked so pretty that people were asking what the director has done with his camera! and kang dong won said oh that's funny, they filmed everyone the same way, but you know how sometimes even with same lighting you can't see black people but you can see white, i think it's like that, which is doubly rude because racism + dissing ha jung woo's looks.

Yeah, the English translation part about the height doesn't seem rude to me, so I'll take your word for it that the Korean quote is a little eyebrow-raising.

I'm dismayed by how ingrained shadeism/racism is in Korean society that he could say something like that and not expect to get any backlash.

I hope the interview gets translated, because I'm really interested in reading it. :-/
