As the viewers watched her in "Fight For My Way", her story became our's, as we laugh and cry together through her small happinesses, long day at work, painful heartaches and most of all, describing the reality of long-term couple.

Now, surprising fact I found about her was her beginning in the showbiz industry. Long, long time ago, in 2005-06, there's a legendary pomegranate drink commercial with actor Lee Joon-gi leading the CF. This commercial hit South Korea so hard at that time, since Lee Joon-gi just started to get famous from the movie, "The King and the Clown". As he sang "Beauties love pomegranate" song, we all sang along to the song. That commercial is still so vivid in my head, and having that memory, it was a pleasant surprise to find out that actress Song Ha-yoon took a part in that commercial!

At the time, she seemed like she was on her way to becoming a new CF queen, as this CF newbie took a part in this legendary commercial with one of the hottest star at the time (Still is.). However, in the recent interview, she revealed that she wasn't happy at this time of her life because she started to get greedy. Having said that, she mentioned that she has learned a lot as she grew up and gained many experiences in the harsh tide of showbiz industry.

Let's see her journey as an actress leading up to this point.

Her first drama, "Might Chil-woo"! She looks so refreshing in that short hair style.

Until 2011, she used her stage name, "Kim Byul", but in 2012, she changed her stage name once more to the name she uses now, Song Ha-yoon.

In 2014, she acted together with actor Yoo Yeon-seok, in the movie "Whistle Blower".


Her role Lee Hong-do in the drama "My Daughter, Geum Sa-Wol" was loved by many. She was very careful in choosing this character at first because of the difficulty of the character, but she was happy to see that the viewers loved her for her innocent and lovable character.
