South Korean actor Song Joong-Ki can’t stop talking about Song Hye-Kyo, his bride-to-be. The celebrity couple, who starred together in the military romance Descendants of the Sun , is all set to tie the knot on October 31.
In an interview with Soompi , actor So Ji-Sub, Song Joong-Ki’s Battleship Island co-star, described him as “a manly man without any pretense.” Song Joong-Ki, however, begs to differ. He says that Song Hye-Kyo’s beautiful appearance makes him look stupid.
Song Joong-Ki’s recent interview with a South Korean media outlet, Chosun, is going viral on social media. When asked about how his relationship evolved with Song Hye-Kyo, the actor said that they both have a lot in common and love spending time together.
Last year, however, was a different story. After the conclusion of Descendants of the Sun , Song Joong-Ki was interviewed by many media outlets. In those interviews, he described his ideal woman as someone who is wise and intelligent. Thanks to Descendants of the Sun , which brought him closer to Song Hye-Kyo, Song Joong-Ki now has the whole package.
“Her appearance is eye catching, and it makes me looks [sic] stupid but she is really gorgeous,” he said in an interview this week.
Song Joong-Ki, who is currently basking in the glory of his newly released blockbuster Battleship Island , says, despite his busy schedule, he makes it a point to spend time with Song Hye-Kyo.
The rumor on social media is that Song Hye-Kyo may quit acting for a while, although Song Joong-Ki never commented on that. He did, however, hint that he may not work with her. Song Hye-Kyo’s decision to quit acting might be temporary, according to fans. Considering the couple will tie the knot in October, they may be preoccupied with the wedding preparations. While Song Hye-Kyo may take up occasional modeling projects for Esprit, Laneige, and Dyson — for which she is the brand ambassador — it will be a while before fans see her in a drama or a movie. Neither Song Hye-Kyo nor her agency has confirmed this yet.
Meanwhile, fans are waiting for the big day. Many are hoping that the SongSong wedding will be Hallyu’s most memorable event.
