Here's Why Song Hye Kyo Declined To Star in 'Anna' 

With her return to the small screen on December 30, 2022, through the revenge series "The Glory," Song Hye Kyo once again proves his prominence as the queen of Hallyu.

While viewers are looking forward to the second part of "The Glory," fans discovered something surprising about the superstar.

According to a report, there was a released behind-the-scenes story about the past work of Song Hye Kyo, which was posted online. It was written that Song Hye Kyo reviewed the series "Anna."

In particular, the "Descendants of the Sun" actress received an offer to headline "Anna" in 2019. Originally, it was scheduled to be released as a film, and Song Hye Kyo reviewed it.

However, she declined the project due to investment issues and a change in direction from the drama's production.

"Anna" is based on Chung Han Ah's novel "Intimate Stranger" and narrates the story of a woman who lives a completely different life after she told a small lie.

Suzy was praised for her performance in the series and for playing the double role of Lee Yu Mi, a lady born to a poor family, and Lee Anna, a perfect lady that everyone envies.
