To promote the 5th China Film Festival opening film THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) in Korea, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Zhang Ziyi and Song Hye-Kyo earlier dressed up for their red carpet appearance. Director Wong Kar Wai later praised Song Hye-Kyo as "The prettiest female star in Asia, her face is perfect" and regretted that he was "unable to increase her role".

Two days ago, two hours before the China Film Festival opening ceremony, Korean paparazzi caught Song Hye-Kyo appearing in a Gangnam beauty salon in preparation for the event. Earlier when THE GRANDMASTERS was released overseas, Song Hye-Kyo was busy with the Korean series THAT WINTER, THE WIND BLOWS and was unable to promote. Thus she particularly valued this red carpet walk with Wai Jai and others.

However, according to his designer and hair stylist, Song Hye-Kyo in clothing, accessories and hairstyle selections repeatedly asked for simplicity first. She said that since she was attending the China Film Festival, the stars should be the Mainland stars who made the trip to Korea.

Even so, Song Hye-Kyo's refreshing image held its hold as she and Zhang Ziyi displayed different feminine beauty. Wai Jai even praised his on screen wife for her elegance. Director Wong Kar Wai praised Song Hye-Kyo as "the most beautiful female star in Asia. Her face is perfect" and regretted that he was "unable to increase her role".
