On December 26th a video entitled “Song Joong-ki who surprised Choi Hwa-jung with his boyish charm told his newlywed stories” was uploaded to the YouTube channel “Hello Choi Hwa-jung.” In the video, Song Joong-ki was invited to Choi Hwa-jung’s house, where she prepared a meal for him.
Meeting Choi for the first time, Song Joong-ki brought a gift, saying, “My wife suggested I bring him from Rome when she heard I was meeting you.He expressed how much he misses his wife and children, who are currently in Rome while he is in Seoul filming.
Choi Hwa-jung asked about Katie’s cooking skills, to which Song Joong-ki replied, “He is similar to you in many ways. Even his plating and the way he prepares the water with lemon and basil are just like you.“
He added: “I’ve recently become obsessed with olive oil. I started taking a spoonful every morning for health reasons. I wasn’t like this before, but after meeting my wife, I can’t eat without it anymore. We also use olive oil extracted from our olive trees at home. It’s so rewarding and satisfying.“
When asked if Katie speaks Korean, Song Joong-ki proudly said, “His language skills are incredible. He also says things like ‘Mom, have you eaten?’ to my mom. It’s not perfect, but it’s so adorable.“
He also shared, “My wife is even more respectful of etiquette than me being Korean. Once I was a little late for an appointment and she scolded me, saying, ‘How could you keep someone waiting?’”
Song Joong-ki continued to praise Katie, saying, “She gives me constructive criticism and helps me a lot. I feel like I’m just bragging about her at this point,” he added coyly.
Song Joong-ki married Katie Louise Saunders, a British actress, in January last year. The couple gave birth to their first child in June of the same year and recently celebrated the birth of their second child, a daughter.
