In an industry choc full of beautiful faces, Chinese-Canadian actress Ireine Song Yiren reveals she sometimes feels she doesn’t measure up next to her peers. The actress who turned 30 this year has always been known for her youthful looks. She was recently a guest on Tencent’s Wonderland Season 3 五十公里桃花坞 at the invitation of her good friend co-star Dylan Wang Hedi who himself is also a regular . It was revealed on the show that Dylan Wang considers Song Yiren to be his best friend in the industry. If you recall, they worked together on the show Ever Night 2 four years ago where they played the main couple in the fantasy series.
Whilst talking about her Wonderland experience, Song Yiren said she immediately felt right at home with the warm welcome she received from her co-stars. In particular, she said she felt very touched when Song Dandan’s mum gave her a big big hug and told her “you’re beautiful” when they just met! It turns out, as she admitted quite candidly that she doesn’t consider herself attractive when compared against other actresses and that she has anxiety in this regard. However thanks to how accepting and warm everyone and Song Dandan’s mum were towards her, she said her heart felt full.

It’s hard to imagine how a talented actress would feel this way but everyone has their own set of insecurities to overcome and to grow from. Nonetheless, it’s nice to see that the actress has supportive friends looking out for her. Inviting her to the show was said to have been masterminded by Dylan to give his friend some time to relax in Taohuawu. He also thoughtfully asked his cast mates to also look out for her.

Dylan is such a great friend! I don’t think Song Yiren is “pretty” either. I do think she’s super cute though. Just a different type of beauty.

I LOVE Song Yi-Ren’s acting. I wish she felt more secure about her looks. Personally, I think her appearance is very beautiful, and her personality and character to be a little sassy, a lot of fun, and undeniably classy.
I liked her in “Ever Night”. But I absolutely loved her in “The Best of You in My Mind”.
The air of innocence she so effectively and effortlessly brings to her character roles is really unique and rare, in my opinion.
I hope she has a long and successful career.

Well, she is not exactly striking beauty, but so what? She’s an actress, not a model. If she makes it up by being a great at what is her job, it shouldn’t limit her. No to mention, half the dramas have the female lead be described as quite ordinary so to speak or not as beautiful as some other character, usually the 2nd lead. It’s usually ridiculous, because it’s played by a beautiful woman, who just has dress, make-up and hair that do not flatter her at all. Wouldn’t mind to have an actress that can make this at least bit believable.
Plus she can push the production to do better. As a woman, I can testify that even an average woman can do wonders with her looks. With hair&make-up done well… I always appreciate average woman that takes care of herself rather than a naturally beautiful woman, who does nothing about herself thinking she doesn’t have to.
