Dang, the dating news with Song Joong Ki went from zero to Defcon level in the span of a day. On the heels of the conclusion of hit cable drama Reborn Rich came news that Song Joong Ki was dating a British woman. His agency confirmed that and all seemed to be fine but as the hours ticked by came the usual delving into who/what/where/how of this new girlfriend. She is reportedly a British former actress named Katy Louise Saunders, and with her actress background it appears the Korean reporters are able to post about her since she’s not a private individual. She is also reportedly already a single mom to a little girl. There are also unconfirmed rumors that she’s pregnant, with a K-netizen claiming to have seen her and Song Joong Ki visiting an OB/GYN, and with that she was spotted coming into South Korea last week with Song Joong Ki on their way back from Singapore sporting what appears to be a giant diamond ring on her left ring finger. Take it for whatever it’s worth, true or not, the two are adults and whatever makes them happy is fine. Luckily this time around K-netizens are all “whatevs” with the news saying Song Joong Ki can do whatever he wants in his personal dating life just keep making good dramas. Amen to that.

He is crazy
Why would you call him crazy? He is allowed to date who he wants.
he's crazy because he's not living the life you want for him? lol
You're crazy!!!
I wonder what his father will say...I also heard she has 2 kids not 1. Yikes! Slow down SJK!
If the rumors are true, good for him. As a fan, I just want him to be happy.
Amen indeed!
Be Happy Song Joong Ki!!! You live with your woman behind closed door and only you would know she’s the one that makes you feel happy, alive, and supported so that you can go out there and offer the best of yourself to the audience. Yay to pretty babies!!!
🥴 You meet someone from a completely different culture and language, with a kid, and within a year you’re already pregnant and getting hitched??? Is that even enough time to get to know the stepchild???
I agree. Song JoongKi is not thinking about stability for his son. If we saw characters on 90 Day Fiance do this type of stuff, we would be on full-on judgment mode.
What will his family think when they expect him to stay in Korea. Will Katy up-root her entire Western European lifestyle and live in a country she doesn't know the language to? Or will SJK move to England to be with her? Whose going to take care of his son when he has custody with Song Hye Kyo?
Seems like he is moving way to quickly after being wounded from divorce. Katy may divorce him and take his earnings, especially if they have a kid and she asks for absorbent child support.
Wth, are you talking about. Whose son ? Why it should be our concern where they will live? They are not even marriage yet but people already talking about they will divorce ,rofl. If it's indeed happen later on, be it. It's their private life not ours. Dang, I do need panadol after reading this
"Whose going to take care of his son when he has custody with Song Hye Kyo"
what are you even talking about? There are no children from his first marriage, unless you're from another dimension where SJK/SHK had a kid together.
I think K-netz are "whatevs and good luck" because he is already a divorcee. If this was pre-marriage when he was Korea's golden boy it would be more of a scandal he was dating a divorced, single parent foreigner.
He does seem to be impulsive in relationships tbh. She is pretty. Is he going to move to Italy or split time between Europe and SK with her? Her kid (kids? Another rumour is she has two kids) is already school aged so doubt she can move to Korea full time depending on the custody agreement with her first babydaddy/husband. It will also be very difficult for a grown single parent Italian to adjust to Korean society even with a rich Korean actor babydaddy. It's such a strict, judgemental society compared to Italy or the UK.
Yeah... lots of potential problems here and from what I heard, his family is very traditional as well and already had a hard time accepting Song Hye Kyo. Maybe this is him acting out (at age 37!).
His family warmly accepted Song Hye Kyo. They were proud of her. Its just it didnt work somehow down the line.
Add in the possibility of a in-laws who are likely conservative and have old-fashioned mindset.....
I mean... lots of supposedly 'cool' parents would have a major problem with their son getting into a serious relationship with a single mother. It's just a fact that those relationships are more precarious.
Happy for him . I've watch all his dramas . Not a fan of Song Hye Kyo 's dramas since a few years but i dare to say if it was her who was dating a foreigner with child she would have been treated badly by knetizens .
👍 So true, “if it was her (SHK) who was dating a foreigner with child she would have been treated badly by Knetizens.”
I think it’s too early to say Knets are okay with this news. Good to see open minded fans happy for him. But I feel SKoreans are still very traditional in thinking. He’s got a huge fandom from other Asian countries and they are just as traditional in thinking. Time will tell and we shall see.
I feel like since it would be his second marriage, people don't feel as protective? I think the more traditional people are more hesitant to fantasize about marrying a divorced man, even if that man is SJK. Like would he be accepted by the parents?
Men always get props for marrying outside their race, like they got some special skills to get this woman who is different. Like this conqueror mentality. Of course, women get backlash if they go outside their race, like "why are you looking down on the men in your race? why are you letting others take you from us and shaming us?" I remember reading somewhere the paradox of women being dismissed as useless and lesser and when they do something surprising, suddenly their choices are important enough to destroy an entire family, an entire community. So which is it, dude?
Don't understand why need to bring up Song Hye Kyo in every article of SJK. They have been divorced for more than 2 years. I am sure the fans won't be ok if SJK name being mentioned in dating news of SHK.
While divorce is a stigma, divorced women are seen as totally damaged goods and IMO Song Hye Kyo wouldn't actually have been dragged all that much if the situation were reversed. Knetz are having a meltdown because SJK is a golden boy and they expected him to remarry some nice young Korean woman.
If it's SHK dating and married a single dad, i actually would respect her the way I respect SJK in this case. It's really hard to accept someone else child and accept them. That's act of noble.
That's misguided IMO - different people have different boundaries and it's not worthy of respect to choose to go out with a single parent if that's not a personal dealbreaker.
Such double standards in how Korean women are treated. He can do what he wants just hope the children are not hurt. They are the ones that are important
Good for him. He's a grown man, he does what he wants. Rather its divorce or dating whoever he wants, at least he ain't two timing anyone...that's a different story if he did. People who say he is impulsive, I think he is just the type of person who knows what he wants and he ain't letting anyone stop, him divorcing is proof enough. I wish him all the best.
Right??? Like he's a grown man, who knows what makes him happy or not. Clearly, he wasn't happy with his ex, and so divorced her. He's allowed to find new happiness, whether that's too soon for fans or not, it's HIS LIFE. And it also doesn't matter if his new girlfriend has 1 or 2 kid(s).
Everyone will make choices in life and hopefully accept the consequences for good or naught. I wish SJK and his lady-love the very best. I think he's a wonderful actor and enjoy his work. Other than that, it's none of my business to know or judge his personal life.
While you always personally hope for the best for everybody and we're no one to judge... SJK has taken a real hit for this in the eyes of the South Korean public, divorce or no. It's all people are talking about and the mood has changed REAL quick once it became known that Katy Louise Saunders was the woman in question.
IMO, she really is pregnant and that's the only reason he acknowledged this.
