Davichi's Kang Min-kyung delighted fans by sharing a personalized Kancho snack from
Song Hye-kyo, posting "unnie is the best" and tagging the actor-an exchange that adds a new chapter to their already visible bond, as MK Sports-style roundups note.
Instagram thank-you
On Oct. 3, Kang Min-kyung uploaded photos of a snack printed with "Minkyung," thanking Song Hye-kyo and spotlighting their long-friendly rapport that often surfaces on social media.
The post dovetails with Kancho's "Find My Name" packs-504 names printed at random-which has become a playful hunt among consumers and celebrities.
Tracing their bond
In January, Song Hye-kyo appeared on Kang Min-kyung's YouTube channel for a candid vlog, recording a remake of Um Jung-hwa's 'Hoo-ae' with proceeds pledged to abandoned dogs-showing warm chemistry in studio and off-camera moments.
That same month, Song attended Davichi's concert and sent bouquets with witty notes, while Kang and Lee Hae-ri shared the gifts online, underscoring mutual support beyond casual mentions.
Acts of support
Over summer, Kang returned the favor with on-set snacks and icy treats during filming, which Song thanked publicly-another gesture that kept their friendship in the spotlight.
Fans and media have repeatedly highlighted how their interactions-concert visits, care packages, and collaborative content-read as consistent, two-way encouragement.
About the Kancho trend
Kancho's current promotion prints 500 of the most-registered newborn names in Korea plus four character names across recent packs, fueling social posts where people find their own or loved ones' names.
Celebrity participation has amplified the campaign's reach, turning an FMCG activation into shareable pop culture moments that brands often chase.
Song hye-kyo's next steps
Song selected Netflix's 'Slowly but Intensely' (working title), a drama set amid Korea's entertainment world from the 1960s to 1980s, with an ensemble including Gong Yoo, Kim Seol-hyun, Cha Seung-won, and Lee Ha-nee, targeting next year.
Her steady stream of philanthropy-and-art projects and friendly cameos with peers like Kang keep anticipation high ahead of the series rollout.
