Song Joong Ki Makes First Public Appearance Since Epic Wedding Announcement to Fellow A-lister Song Hye Kyo

When I wrote in the last few months about the great Korean star wedding bonanza of 2017, kicked off in early February with Rain and Kim Tae Hee walking down the aisle, there was no substantive gossip about Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo getting married. Outside of die hard committed Song-Song shippers this was a far-fetched pipe dream which has not vaulted 2017 into untouchable territory. I’m not sure there will be another year with this many top Korean star weddings in the same year and that’s fine with me, the Song-Song news was as close as break the Korean internet as it gets and I love it! More excitement please and not of the scandal variety.

The media was already following everything Song Joong Ki thanks to his top star status and the fact that he’s promoting the end of July release of Battleship Island, but with this wedding news realistically the intensity has grown exponentially. Thankfully he’s always been a grounded actor and has fantastic poise so his first media frenzy public appearance since the wedding news broke just happened to be at night and in the rain but makes no difference for how charming and glowing he came across. The man certainly looks content and I’m so happy for him!

  • Poor guy! Now everything is a big deal. Like choosing his first project after announcing his wedding, first public appearance after announcing his wedding, first get-together with friends after announcing his wedding.

    And then after getting married it will be: choosing his first project after getting married etc.

  • Hes wearing lipstick. A lot of Korean actors seem to wear such overt lipsticks. Its so weird. Even Japanese actors.

    • Yes I would think it makes more sense for somebody to hold it themselves because clearly as we see in the photos it doesn't work anyway. lol

      But the assistent is the slave, so he has to do it.

    • I detest ppl holding umbrellas for actors. It just seems slavish. Rather , just let them walk that distance rain or sun. If its meet hold it inside guys, rather than making the poor guy hold his arm overhead for what? min 10 15 minutes. Its not just in Korea, its everywhere entertainment. Nuts.

      • It's not his assistant, it's his chief manager, an executive at Blossom who's known and supported SJK since his debut days. There's noting "slavish" about their relationship, he held the umbrella because it was pouring like crazy, and SJK was addressing the media for the first time since the announcement.

      • Thanks for the info. That's why I don't get the comments above about this simple gesture being "slavish". The guy was standing in the rain holding the mike for an interview for christ's sake, it's not like he was resting on a slingback chair on the beach and had his assistant hold the umbrella for him. What is exactly "slavish" about helping a pal while his hands were busy?

  • How much has this men grow. I remember him from Sungkyunkwan Scandal as a support character that got him some recognition back in 2010. He was still a rookie in the field while Song Hye Kyo was already a huge actress and I think she was still dating Hyun Bin. Never in my sweetest dreams I could've imagined that their destinies would cross like that and that he would be the one to marry the goddess Hye Kyo. I'm so happy for them! They are my favorites from a long time and I only wish the best for their future together. If they choose to have babies, the kids will have some powerful genes lol *Also, I'm so envious of SJK skin, his baby face will never go keke

  • I know this is out of the topic but his outfit does not go well with his build. He is such a handsome actor but somehow it makes him look too skinny.

  • He is glowing! Love them both. Thank you Koala for sharing this tidbit news about the couple. I always check your website for any news about the song song couple. If anybody will ask me to hold an umbrella for JOONGKI, I will gladly do it. :)

  • His face was beaming with happiness. I love the way the MC and his castmates subtly teased him during the showcase yesterday ans he couldn't stop smiling.

  • He does seem grounded despite being one of the top stars right now and marrying an even bigger star. I'm glad he remains humble and unaffected. Although it was cute when he said he's nervous when the MC didn't even mentioned the wedding (subtle hints but nothing direct).

  • I don't know. i just love and love him even more now after announcing his marriage. He won't let success become an obstacle to have family. love love love

  • The groom 2017. Songsong wedding is much talked that the rain kth wedding news
    Is it because Rain-KTh relationship had been known while SJK-SHK is jumping to.wedding news?

    • That and could also be because SongSong couple are accomplished A-list actors whereas Rain-KTH couple are not.

      • No. Rain is more well known internationally, he has been in People Magazine & in Hollywood movies. SJK is not known outside the K-industry, he has a long way to catch up to Rain imho... I am not a fan of both, this is just my observation being a non-Asian...

      • Exactly. Rain is well known in Asia but with his repetitive failure in dramas, people slowly lost their interest on him. While sjk got bigger, thanks to dots. In korea, sjk is much more bigger now even he hasnt been in any american movie. The girl in transformer, claudya kim (correct me if i was wrong) is now casted in another american movie, but she's not in the same level as song hae kyo in korea. So, it's about who is more popular right now in korea and those countries that got hallyu wave. Your point is also correct, probably bcuz public waited for dating announcement yet they came with marriage announcement. However, im still thinking that even hyunbin and kangsora announce their wedding, peopld are still more curious about songsong couple bcuz of their star power. Lets see how leeminho suzy handle their any announcement later lols.

      • according to korean netizen, kim tae hee, song hye kyo, and Jeon Ji Ji Jhyun is already an S- Lister. haha.

        I don't know about this thing, but I'm so glad someone as talent as Song Joong Ki got a huge popularity. He is now can choose a movie as much as he want. He is now has a chance to compete with the best in chungmuro and got real acting recognation one day.
