[6] While in The Day He Arrives (2011), Song played a film studies professor who frequents a bar in Bukchon. [7] [8] [9]
Back on the small screen, her popularity rose when she played a young housewife in Precious Family (2004), written by Kim Soo-hyun.

Song starred in her first ever period drama in 2013's Blooded Palace: The War of Flowers . [14] [15] She drew praise for her portrayal of the Crown Princess Lady Kang, Crown Prince Sohyeon's wife, despite controversy involving a breastfeeding scene. [16]
Song married art director Go Woo-seok, who she met through mutual acquaintances and dated for one year, on 29 June 2006. [17] They have a daughter, Arri born 2014. [18] On 21 August 2017, Song Seon Mi’s late husband Go Woo Seok was found dead in a law office located in Seoul. At the time, the police revealed that following an inheritance battle, he was murdered by a hitman hired by his cousin for ₩2.00 billion KRW (about $1.67 million USD). The shocking homicide case headlined the Korean news for months as the investigation continued.
