Song Hye Kyo Sends Love Back to Lim Ji‑yeon with Sweet Instagram Tribute After Coffee Truck Surprise

Following their intense on-screen roles in The Glory (where Song Hye Kyo played Moon Dong‑eun and Lim Ji‑yeon portrayed antagonist Park Yeon‑jin), the two actresses revealed a genuine off-screen friendship that contrasts sharply with their characters' feud on Netflix 

Lim Ji‑yeon surprised Song Hye Kyo on the set of her new film Dark Nuns, with a coffee truck bannered with messages like “Please take care of Hye‑kyo unnie” and “Hye‑kyo unnie is pretty today, and the drama is going to be a hit again”.
Song posted a photo of the truck on Instagram with the caption: "Thank you so much, Ji‑yeon, it's so cool." She added: "My beautiful Hye‑kyo sister, I love you on the 365th"—clearly touched by Lim Ji‑yeon’s support 

Their bond seems built on mutual respect and kindness. Lim Ji‑yeon, reflecting on The Glory, shared they often hung out off‑set, bonding over meals and daily conversations: “Hye Kyo unnie even bought me pork belly… we are really close”
Such anecdotes underscore how two actors who portrayed bitter rivals have become genuine friends.

Koreaboo and other media outlets highlighted this gesture as an ongoing display of affection among The Glory alumni. Fans across social media flooded the comments with praise, often quoting Lim Ji‑yeon as “shining just as brightly on screen as always”—a nod to Song’s heartfelt encouragement toward her peer 

On Reddit, fans passionately praised Lim Ji‑yeon’s acting and attitude:

“Lim Ji‑yeon in The Glory. In my opinion the strongest performance ever… everything about her screamed ‘STRONG ANTAGONIST’”—a testament to how deeply memorable her role—and off-screen character—truly resonated 

Another fan added:

“Bro Lim Ji Yeon was so good I haven’t even begun to try watching her in a different drama because of her character in The Glory… that just shows how great her acting is to make me hate her character that much lol” 

• Transforms drama rivalry into real-world kinship: The narrative shift—from on-screen feud to off-screen camaraderie—makes the gesture feel deeply personal.
  
  

• Celebrity support culture: Thoughtful gestures like these echo broader themes of kindness in the entertainment industry.
  
  

• Social media authenticity: Song’s warm Instagram response reveals a genuine relationship that fans find inspiring.
