Writer Kim Eun Sook Personally Requested the Strip Scene

In Episode 6 of Netflix The Glory, there is a scene where Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo) strips her clothes. She exposes her body full of scars from her past bullying. And she presented the scars to Joo Yeo Jung (Lee Do Hyun) to frighten him.

When she first talked about Netflix The Glory new drama with Song Hye Kyo, writer Kim Eun Sook delivered a special request. However, knowing the request would make her comfortable, Kim Eun Sook asked for Song Hye Kyo’s permission in advance.

Kim Eun Sook revealed she personally requested Moon Dong Eun’s strip scene in Episode 6. She believed that this specific scene is extremely necessary for the characters’ development.

After all, the strip scene represents Moon Dong Eun’s willingness to show her vulnerable side to Joo Yeo Jung enough so she can push him away. But at the same time, it also showed how much Joo Yeo Jung had vowed and dedicated himself to helping Moon Dong Eun.

Since the scene required Song Hye Kyo to strip her clothes, Kim Eun Sook asked the actress whether she would be okay with the scene.

“I had that scene in my mind from the very beginning. Therefore, when we offered the role to Hye Kyo, I told her that I really needed that scene. But since it might be uncomfortable for her, I asked if that was okay with her.”

And instead of giving her a yes/no answer, Song Hye Kyo asked the writer to give her more time.

“Unnie, give me two months. I have to lose more weight, then.”

The MASSIVE Dedication Song Hye Kyo Did for Netflix New Drama, THE GLORY

So why did Song Hye Kyo request the time, and what did she do during this time?

Apparently, Song Hye Kyo asked Kim Eun Sook to give her 2 months to prepare for her appearance as Moon Dong Eun. According to Song Hye Kyo, she wanted to give the proper presentation of Moon Dong Eun’s body, so she asked for time for a thorough groundwork.

Kim Eun Sook further praised Song Hye Kyo and her professionalism in filming the scene. She personally felt surprised about Song Hye Kyo transformation for the new drama, Netflix The Glory. She then asked what Song Hye Kyo did to reach that appearance level.

“Then, she really did it!
I asked her about her meal at the time, and she told me she ate konjac rice. While I was really grateful for her effort, I also felt really bad.
That is why when I saw the completed scene, it made me tear up.”

The Main Reason of Song Hye Kyo’s Unrivaled Effort

You may wonder why Song Hye Kyo went to such a length in working on Moon Dong Eun’s appearance. The answer is absolute: because Song Hye Kyo is a first-class actress with an impressive level of meticulous professionalism.

During the commentary, Song Hye Kyo revealed that once she accepted the role of Moon Dong Eun, she didn’t even think of looking beautiful at all.

Song Hye Kyo believes that Moon Dong Eun is someone who doesn’t even consider taking care of her appearance. That is why she tried hard to create an image of someone who had neglected her body and herself. After all, Moon Dong Eun has had only one thing in her mind all her life: revenge.

“First, after I got Dong Eun’s role, I didn’t even think about looking pretty at all.
Dong Eun doesn’t have the time or energy to take care of her appearance like that. So I thought maybe taking care of herself too much as a human being is not something Dong Eun would do.
That is why I really didn’t worry about things like that in this drama.”
