Song Joong-ki’s Request for Privacy in Public Outing with Wife and Son

On May 18th, China Times reported that a Chinese fan had the opportunity to meet Song Joong-ki and his wife Katy Louise Saunders as they were taking a stroll in a Korean park with their son. The couple was seen wearing casual attire and exhibiting loving affection towards each other.

The fan revealed that Song Joong-ki was recognized by numerous individuals in the park, who eagerly requested to take pictures with him. The actor responded with a warm smile and friendly demeanor, greeting everyone with enthusiasm.

Despite noticing fans with cameras who wanted to take photos of his wife and son, Song Joong-ki quickly shielded the camera lens with his hand. He politely requested those around him to refrain from taking any photos or videos of his family members. According to a Chinese fan, “He is very protective of his family’s privacy and takes good care of them.”

In early 2024, Song Joong-ki made the announcement of his marriage to British actress Katy. The Korea Herald reported that the couple had been dating for three years before deciding to tie the knot. In June 2023, they welcomed their first child together in Rome, Italy.

During an interview, Song Joong-ki shared his joy at having found a wonderful partner to create a family with. Praising his spouse, the actor remarked, “She is an intelligent and admirable individual. She has helped me become a better version of myself.”

Despite the birth of his son, Song Joong-ki has chosen to share only one photo of the baby’s hand. He has made a conscious decision to keep his son’s appearance private in order to shield him from the scrutiny and judgement of the public. However, at a recent event in March, Song Joong-ki couldn’t help but gush about his son’s adorableness, exclaiming “I am constantly in awe of my son’s beauty and cuteness.”

Song Joong-ki attended the Baeksang Arts Awards and his cheek heart pose on the red carpet caused controversy. This despite his previous comments that the pose was boring. Furthermore, his awkward expression upon seeing his ex-wife Song Hye-kyo on stage at the Baeksang also drew criticism.

Despite his past controversies regarding his attitude and close interactions with costars Jeon Yeo-bin and Kim Tae-ri, many netizens have formed a negative opinion of Song Joong-ki. Additionally, his previous relationship with Katy and misunderstandings surrounding Song Hye-kyo and junior actor Park Bo-gum have also contributed to this negative perception. Furthermore, he has faced criticism for attributing his career setbacks to marriage and having children.
