Song Hye-kyo Joins STAND After 14 Years—and Her Next Drama Awaits

A new profile may look like just another photo update. This one marks a change in the team supporting a familiar star after many years. The actor is the same; the management chapter is new.

On October 23, STAND confirmed the exclusive contract and said it would support Song's acting work and activities in Korea and overseas. The accompanying profiles include a casual white-top-and-denim look and a black-jacket portrait. Her long association with UAA had ended when the contract expired in June.

The timing is notable: a management switch comes ahead of a major series release. STAND says it hopes to support collaborations and expand into content-related business. Those plans are not evidence of additional confirmed projects or commercial results.

StarNews, SBS Entertainment News and Hankook Ilbo all reported the signing and photographs on October 23. The attributable response is STAND's welcome statement. No unverified fan quotations or sweeping claims about public sentiment are presented.

Song debuted in 1996 and has appeared in series including 'The Glory' and films such as 'Dark Nuns'. Joining a young agency does not demonstrate a creative break or a dispute with her former managers; the end of the UAA contract was publicly framed as an amicable parting.

The timeline is June 2026 for the UAA contract's end and October 23 for STAND's signing announcement. Her next project, Netflix's 'Slowly, Intensely', pairs writer Noh Hee-kyung with director Lee Yoon-jung and was reported for a December release. An exact streaming date and additional contracts require official confirmation.

The practical effects of new management will become clearer through future releases and announcements. Watch for the confirmed Netflix schedule and any new project announcements.
