Song Joong Ki gave fans a glimpse into his loving relationship with his wife, Katy Louise Saunders, during a fun video interview.

In a recent What’s in My Bag video with Harper’s Bazaar Korea for his new movie Bogotá: The City of the Lost, Song Joong Ki shared a touching detail about his wife.

Holding up a book titled Open, he said, “This book has a lot to learn from. My wife is reading the English version while I’m reading it in Korean.”

The actor married former British actress Katy Louise Saunders in 2023, and the couple now has two children—a son and a daughter.

Their daughter was born recently, adding more joy to their family. The couple is raising their children in Rome, which is known as Katy’s hometown.

Song Joong Ki also revealed his reading habits, saying, “When I find something good, I tend to read all the works by that author.” His casual mention of sharing books with his wife melted fans’ hearts.

The video wasn’t all about books, though. Fellow actor Lee Hee Joon discovered a face mask in Song Joong Ki’s bag and joked, “Joong Ki doesn’t even have pores.” To this, Song Joong Ki laughed and replied, “I’m aging too,” showing his humble side.

Meanwhile, Bogotá: The City of the Lost tells the survival story of Koreans navigating the dangerous smuggling trade in Colombia. The movie premiered on December 31 and has already drawn attention for its intense plot and stellar cast.

Fans continue to admire Song Joong Ki for balancing his career, family, and charming personality!

In a surprising turn of events, the Ministry of Employment and Labor has cleared HYBE of any workplace harassment allegations after an investigation into claims made by a former vice president of the company.

The accusations, which involved some of HYBE's top executives, have left the entertainment giant with a sigh of relief. But the plot thickens, as former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin's involvement in the whole ordeal has raised some serious questions.

The case began last September when L, a former HYBE executive and close associate of Min Hee Jin, filed a report claiming illegal audits and workplace harassment within the company. L named several top HYBE executives, including Kim Juyoung, the CEO of ADOR, and Lee Kyung Jun, ADOR's CFO, as the alleged harassers.

L’s accusations quickly became tangled with a bitter legal feud over management control at ADOR, which is one of HYBE’s labels. For those unfamiliar, this feud between Min Hee Jin and HYBE has been simmering for months, and this new report only added fuel to the fire.

According to industry insiders, the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office officially closed the case in December, finding no evidence to support the claims of workplace harassment at HYBE.

However, the saga doesn't end there. The investigation took a dramatic turn when L revealed in messages obtained by Chosun Biz that Min Hee Jin had been advising L on how to respond to the investigation. She reportedly suggested that L file the harassment report as a way to pressure both sides into a fair investigation.

Min Hee Jin even coached L on when to use sick leave to delay the re-investigation of a separate harassment claim filed by an employee named A against L.

As tensions rose, A, the alleged victim of workplace harassment, began questioning the fairness of the investigation, especially after learning that Min Hee Jin had been involved in coaching L.

A went so far as to request a re-investigation in August 2023, accusing Min Hee Jin of manipulating the process. Min Hee Jin’s alleged interference is now a key focus in the ongoing legal battle.

While Min Hee Jin and her PR team have yet to comment on the matter, this latest development only adds to the public scrutiny of her role in the drama.

Meanwhile, A has taken legal action, filing a lawsuit against Min Hee Jin for violating labor laws and personal privacy. The battle is now moving to formal court proceedings, where the future of both Min Hee Jin and the management of ADOR could be at stake.

As the dust settles, HYBE may have been cleared of the harassment charges, but the tangled web of legal drama involving Min Hee Jin is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-profile case as it continues to unfold.
