Actor Song Joong-ki Acknowledges Being a Proud Father
On the 26th, a video titled "Surprised by the Boyish Charm of Song Joong-ki: A Glimpse into His Newlywed Life (+ Chocolate Curry)" was uploaded on Choi Hwa-jeong's YouTube channel, "Hello, I'm Choi Hwa-jeong."
In the video, Song Joong-ki visited Choi Hwa-jeong's home for a dinner meal. Choi Hwa-jeong asked him, "Where do you live?" to which Song Joong-ki replied, "I live in Itaewon. There’s a place near Rome, Italy, called Tuscany. My wife and I live there, especially because my wife has lived in Italy her whole life. When I’m not filming, we stay there."
Showing traces of being a doting father, he mentioned his son. "The baby is starting to speak some Italian, so there are times when he says things in Italian that I can’t understand. This puts some pressure on me, so I'm studying Italian. On the other hand, my wife is learning Korean," he shared.
When Choi Hwa-jeong asked about his wife's personality, Song Joong-ki replied, "I’m Korean, but she places even more importance on manners and character than I do, so I often get scolded. Once, my manager came over for a meeting, but I took about 20 minutes to get ready, and she said, 'Who do you think you are to keep someone waiting?'" He recounted this story with a smile.
When Choi Hwa-jeong noted that Song Joong-ki seems considerate of others, he added, "If there’s something unreasonable on set, I tend to step up since I’m the lead actor. My manager and our representative have a hard time with that," he chuckled.
"My wife gives me a lot of constructive criticism," he said, playfully acknowledging, "But I'm just bragging like a proud father." He expressed gratitude for his wife, saying, "She learns how to cook and makes meals for me, which I appreciate. All our friends who know us think that my wife deserves much better. I know it too," revealing his affection.
Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki publicly acknowledged his relationship with British actress Katy in January 2023, announcing their marriage and her pregnancy at the same time. In July, he announced the birth of their second child, receiving congratulations from many. His agency, High Zium Studio, confirmed to Xports News, "(Song Joong-ki) is becoming a parent of two children," adding, "As for the details, we ask for understanding as it’s a personal matter."
After having their first son in June of last year, they welcomed their second child just a year later, announcing the arrival of their daughter last month, making him a father of two.
