Song Joong-ki (Korean: 송중기; born September 19, 1985) is a South Korean actor. He rose to fame in the historical coming-of-age drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010) and the variety show Running Man (2010–2011) as one of the original cast members. Since then, he has played a diverse spectrum of roles in the television series The Innocent Man (2012), Descendants of the Sun (2016), Arthdal Chronicles (2019) and Vincenzo (2021), as well as the hit films A Werewolf Boy (2012), The Battleship Island (2017) and Space Sweepers (2021).

Song was Gallup Korea's Actor of the Year in 2012[1] and in 2017.[2] He was first included in the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list in 2013 placing seventh,[3] and subsequently ranking second in 2017, and seventh in 2018.[4] The success of his works internationally established him as a top Hallyu star[5] and one of the highest-paid actors in South Korea.[6]

Early life and education

The second child (or middle child) of the three siblings, Song was raised in the rural outskirts of Daejeon.[7] He competed in short track speed skating[8] and represented his home city of Daejeon at national level (he would go on to portray a national speed skater in the TV series Triple).[9][10] An injury forced him to give up the sport during his first year of high school. He excelled in his studies all through high school and scored 380 points out of 400 on his national college entrance test,[11] gaining admission to Sungkyunkwan University.[12] While in Seoul preparing for the entrance test, he was scouted on the subway by an agent but did not immediately enter the entertainment industry as he was still ambivalent about his career path,[13] and because his father had initially been against him becoming an actor.[14] He continued to study part-time after deciding to enter the entertainment industry full-time during his third year of university,[15] eventually graduating with a degree in Business Administration (minor in broadcasting) in 2012.[16][17]

Song first appeared in a TV show as a contestant on KBS's Quiz Korea, substituting for a senior who was sick.[15] Song eventually won second place. This brought him significant attention, and he became a cover model for the university magazine College.[9][10][18]

Career

2008–2011: Beginnings and breakthrough

Song made his acting debut in the 2008 period film A Frozen Flower.[19] The following year, he appeared in the couple-swapping segment "Believe in the Moment" of omnibus Five Senses of Eros and continued to take on small but notable roles in Triple and Will It Snow for Christmas?.[20]

Song as the host of Melon Music Awards in 2010

Song also became a regular host of KBS Friday music program Music Bank from 2009 to 2010.[21] He then appeared in the 2010 medical drama OB & GY,[22] and animal movie sequel Hearty Paws 2.[23]

Song's breakout role came in the fusion historical drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal where he played the role of an 18th-century Joseon-era rich, indolent playboy.[24][25] Despite stable but unspectacular ratings, the drama became a cult hit and his on-screen "bromance" with a then-unknown Yoo Ah-in was popular with viewers.[26][27] Song also joined the cast of variety program Running Man from 2010 to 2011.[28]

Song later released the book Beautiful Skin Project, a bestselling health and beauty guide for men (which was re-released in Japan in 2013).[29][30] In late 2010, he went on a bicycling tour around Sydney, which aired two episodes on TV via ELLE, an offshoot of the eponymous fashion magazine. Moreover, a TV special of the actor's trip to Japan entitled I'm Real: Song Joong-ki aired two parts in early 2011.[31] Song later became an MC for jTBC audition program Made in U.[32]

In 2011, Song starred as a jobless deadbeat in the romantic comedy Penny Pinchers.[33] His acting performance was praised by critics, declaring him a "charismatic, swoon-worthy leading man with a viable presence."[34]

Song took on the role of the young king Sejong in Deep Rooted Tree (2011).[35] Critics praised Song's performance, calling it a portrayal of a genius who "realizes the futility of power early in life" and hides in his books to cope with growing up under the rule of his tyrannical father Taejong.[36] Song received the PD Award at the 2011 SBS Drama Awards for the role.

He later narrated the six-part documentary Tears of the Antarctic for MBC program Tears of the Earth (2012), which focuses on pressing environmental issues on the planet and donated his entire salary to charity.[37][38] He reprised his role as the narrator when the series was re-edited and released in theaters as Pengi and Sommi (2012).[39][40] The Korea Times highlighted his talking baritone when addressing his narration role.[41] He later went on a fan-meeting tour called Song Joong-ki Asia Fan Meeting Tour – THRILL & LOVE, holding fan meetings in Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea.[42][43][44]

Song described 2012 as a "phenomenal year" for his career.[45][46][47] He played the titular character in fantasy romance film A Werewolf Boy, which premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.[48] In preparation for his role, Song watched nature documentaries and observed stray dogs on the streets to learn how to mime and imitate the body movements of an animal.[49][50] He also repeatedly watched Tim Burton's 1990 romantic fantasy Edward Scissorhands, Matt Reeves' 2010 vampire flick Let Me In, and Gollum in The Lord of the Rings.[48] The film was screened at the Busan International Film Festival,[51] and became the most successful Korean melodrama of all time, with more than 7 million tickets sold.[45][52]

The same year, he took on his first leading drama role in television, The Innocent Man.[53][54][55] His assured and nuanced portrayal of an antihero received praise from critics and audience.[56] The drama attracted high ratings, which along with the impressive box office run of A Werewolf Boy, cemented Song's image in the press as the "savior" of the melodrama genre both on the big and small screen.[45][57] Song won Top Excellence Award (Actor) at the 20th Korean Culture and Entertainment Awards,[58] 1st K-Drama Star Awards[59] and the 2012 KBS Drama Awards.[60]

In February 2013, after his contract with entertainment agency Sidus HQ expired, Song announced that he will be joining Blossom Entertainment.[61]

Prior to his enlistment for his mandatory military service, Song held a fan meeting on August 17, 2013.[62][63] He then enlisted on August 27 at the 102nd draft camp in Chuncheon.[64][65][66] He served in an infantry unit assigned to patrol and conduct reconnaissance missions along the DMZ[67][15] and was discharged on May 26, 2015.[68][69][70]

Song was made the Korean Tourism Honorary Ambassador by the Korea Tourism Organization to actively promote Korean tourism worldwide.[78][79] He was the first actor to be invited to the nationwide live prime-time news show KBS News 9.[80] He was also listed as one of the Top 100 Future Generation of Leaders, at #34.[81] He became the face of over 30 brands in 2016 alone and was one of the recipients of Korea's "Brand of the Year" award.[82][76][83] Song won the Daesang (or "Grand Prize"), the highest award for television, at the 30th KBS Drama Awards[84] and the 5th APAN Star Awards[85] as well as the Best Actor (TV) award at the 11th Seoul International Drama Awards[86] and the 29th Korean Producer Awards for his acting performance.[87] He then embarked on a series of sold-out Asian tour spanning 10 different cities, where he met more than 60,000 fans.[88][89]

Song was then cast in the period action film The Battleship Island (2017). He stars alongside actors So Ji-sub and Hwang Jung-min and portrays a member of the Korean independence movement, who sneaks onto Hashima Island to rescue a fellow member.[90][91]

Song made his small screen comeback in the historical fantasy drama Arthdal Chronicles, which premiered on tvN in 2019. The drama was a reunion project with his Descendants of the Sun co-star Kim Ji won.[92][93][94]

In January 2020, Song left Blossom Entertainment and signed with History D&C, a newly launched talent management and content production company founded by former SidusHQ executive Hwang Ki-yong.[95][96]

In 2021, Song starred in the science fiction film Space Sweepers alongside Kim Tae-ri, directed by Jo Sung-hee, which was released exclusively on Netflix on February 5, 2021.[97] The movie debuted at No. 1 on Netflix, dominated daily top 10 rankings in 80 countries and gathered more than 26 millions household viewers during the first 28 days of its release.[98] He also starred as the titular character in the series Vincenzo, which was released on February 20, 2021 on Netflix and tvN. It became the 6th highest-rated drama in tvN history after its finale, and is currently the 9th highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history.[99]

Upcoming roles

He is set to appear in the criminal thriller film Bogota alongside Lee Hee-joon and Kwon Hae-hyo, which will be directed by Kim Seong-je.[100]

Public Image

Song has primarily been known for his "flower boy" or "pretty boy" image and elite education background, having majored business administration at one of the top universities in Korea, Sungkyunkwan University and worked as an active anchor of the campus broadcaster.[101] He was called the school's "ulzzang" (best face) and "umchina" or "mom's friend's son" (perfect son).[102] Dr. Jun Sung, author of Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption, cited Song as the embodiment of "soft masculinity."[103]

Song at The Battleship Island Presscon in 2017

Being cast in Running Man in 2010, he earned other nicknames such as "detective Joong-ki," "brainy Joong-ki" and "active/enthusiastic Joong-ki" for his eagerness and optimism in strategizing during the race missions; but often result in failure. His theme song is "Pretty Boy" by M2M.[104] In 2011, after effectively playing the younger version of King Sejong in Deep Rooted Tree that made him trend in web portals, he earned the title "good actor Song Joong-ki."[105]

Song has been hailed as "the savior of melodrama" in his home country and called "Korea's DiCaprio" after the hit drama The Innocent Man and most watched melodrama movie A Werewolf Boy in 2012.[106][107] In 2016, two years after his mandatory military service, the "Song Joong-ki Syndrome" was coined upon his portrayal of the dashing Army Captain Yoo Shi-jin in Descendants of the Sun.[108] He was made the Korea Tourism Organization's Honorary Ambassador, topped popularity polls in Asia, and became the CF King.[109][110] In China, the public safety Weibo page and the Chinese government has had to issue statements cautioning against overindulgence of the actor and the drama, citing cases of plastic surgery, domestic violence and divorce as a direct result.[111][112][113] However, Song insisted that he never wanted a meteoric rise in popularity. He said: "It's inevitable that popularity fades. That's why I must always be prepared."[114]

Former journalist Kim Young-ho said that he is more than just a Hallyu star and called him "a man of character." He stated: "He is humble, well-mannered and very polite. Even after he rose to stardom, there was no change in his demeanor and he's still humble."[115] Actor So Ji-sub described him as "a manly man without any pretense."[116] Other personalities in Korea that have been vocal of his good manners include Gummy,[117] DinDin,[118] Park Hoon,[119] Kim Jong-kook,[120] Onew,[121] Moon Chae-won,[122] Park Bo-young,[123] Jo In-sung,[124] and Lee Kwang-soo.[125] He is also known for his regular donations to several causes and participation in philanthropic acts.[126][127][128]

Song considers it his "responsibility" to be aware of his influence on fans that expanded overseas. He said: "I could have never made it to such a position without the help of many others. I think the effort and hard work of my predecessors, staff members, and fans have contributed to such a result. Thus, I do have a sense of responsibility. I want to live up to my reputation as a Korean citizen, actor, and person. I will try my best to be modest but confident at all times."[129][130] In 2017, when asked about starring in the movie The Battleship Island that shows sensitive subject of Korean-Japanese history, he expressed that it was a small expression of his beliefs.[131]

When it comes to social media accounts, Song does not have any for he is not "tech-savvy."[129] His fancafe, established in early 2006, becomes his way to communicate with his official fandom named "Ki Aile," which means "Ki's wings." Song said the fans are like his wings for they lift him up, emotionally and financially, by voting for him and buying the products he endorses as well as watch all his movies and TV shows.[132][133]
