Song Hye Kyo has almost never revealed information or pictures of her mother.
Not only is her life kept private, Song Hye Kyo has also never revealed information or pictures about her biological mother.
Although she rarely talks about her mother, Song Hye Kyo is considered one of the most filial Korean stars in the entertainment industry.
It is known that after her parents divorced, Song Hye Kyo lived with her mother and was extremely carefully cared for and loved by her. Despite the lack of her father’s presence, the love from her mother always helps Song Hye Kyo feel happy.
That’s why, after being successful and famous for her large fortune, Song Hye Kyo never forgot to show her filial piety and give her mother the fullest life.
In 2012, Song Hye Kyo reportedly spent $6 million on her mother’s luxury apartment. This was one of the most expensive private apartments in Korea at that time. This is a small gift compared to what her mother gave her.
In 2016, Song Hye Kyo continued to buy another luxury house at the Hyundai Housing Complex, Samseong-dong, Seoul. This house was also purchased in her mother’s name. According to real estate experts, the house Song Hye Kyo bought for her mother at that time had a market value of 9 million USD.

In 2021, after several years of divorcing Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Kyo was reported by Korean media to continue buying another building for her mother to take care of.
The building is located in Hannam Dong area, Seoul, Korea with a price of about 17.4 million USD. This building of Song Hye Kyo includes 7 floors, including 5 floors and 2 basements, built in 2014.
The rare time Song Hye Kyo’s biological mother appeared was at her daughter and Song Joong Ki’s wedding in 2017.
Song Hye Kyo has shared many times in interviews that her mother is like a friend with a lot of life experience, helping the actress balance the storms of life.
After receiving many major awards thanks to the success of The Glory, Song Hye Kyo shared about her mother in an interview in August 2023: “For me, my mother’s happiness is the most important. She loved watching The Glory and her appreciation meant a lot to me personally, even more than the praise from the audience.
I am always worried about how the audience will react to my role because this is related to my work, evaluating the results of my labor. However, my mother’s comments and opinions about the role are always the most important.”
