• Song Joong Ki spotted enjoying a sunny hike with his son and wife Katy Louise Saunders

    Actor Song Joong Ki and wife Katy Louise Saunders are capturing attention as everyday parents, sharing glimpses of their daily life.

    On June 18th, Chinese media like 8world highlighted Song Joong Ki's sightings and posts on China's Xiaohongshu platform.

    Earlier, on June 16th, a post showed Song Joong Ki and Katy Louise Saunders taking a walk. Instead of his usual Hallyu star image, Song Joong Ki drew notice as a dad pushing a stroller in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, despite the hot weather.

    An observer shared, "The street was quiet until I heard a baby crying. I turned around and saw Song Joong Ki's family. I made eye contact with him. They were also with their pet dog." Describing his son, the observer noted, "Song Joong Ki's son looks like a mixed-race baby, and I could see chubby little feet sticking out of the stroller, which was adorable."

    Previously, Song Joong Ki had politely asked fans not to take photos of his son when they were spotted in a park last May.

    Chinese media covered Song Joong Ki's outing, analyzing the family's attire and emphasizing his status. The stroller he pushed, a German luxury brand from Company C, is known for its quality and costs approximately 1.65 million KRW on its official site.

    In contrast, Song Joong Ki and Katy Louise Saunders opted for modest attire. Katie wore an SPA brand dress, which foreign media noted costs about 200,000 KRW. Song Joong Ki wore a baseball cap and casual sneakers, keeping a low-profile appearance.

    Song Joong Ki, who divorced actress Song Hye Kyo in 2019 and remarried Katy Louise Saunders in January 2023, welcomed their first son later that year.

    Currently, Song Joong Ki is considering a role in the upcoming drama 'My Youth' (tentative title) as his next project.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
