I was only a normal high school, asking myself what type of adult I would have become and I establish standard for myself”. He shared.
Joong-Ki Song later entered the Sungkyunkwan University company department after a year of recovery of the exam and made its debut actor in 2008 with a minor role in Take Karl! Oh soo-jung.
Discuss My youthSong Joong-Ki deeply revealed the script with him: “When I read the script, I felt healed. It made me look back to my career. In my past projects, I was a werewolf, a soldier of the special forces, someone who was drifting in space, even a lawyer who is also part of the mafia. But I rarely interpreted someone who scored a ground in the real world. I wanted to portray a character with a really human perfume, so I actually requested this role.
Now approaching his twentieth year in acting, Song Joong-Ki has reflected on the turning point of 40: “As an actor, I have always said that I don’t want to stay stagnant. Even now, I am constantly fighting and challenging myself. I am grateful to still have the opportunity to face new challenges and I will continue to reject.”
With My youth Soon soon, the anticipation is high for the return of Joong-Ki Song to a sincere and concrete role that could show a new side of the veteran actor.
