Actor Song Joong Ki has been getting attention for how he talks about his wife, Katie Louise Saunders, during his recent TV appearances. While some fans admire his openness, others feel his choice of words could be more respectful.

On the January 5th episode of JTBC’s "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014", Song Joong Ki appeared alongside his co-star Lee Hee Jun to promote their movie "Bogota: The Land of the Last Chance".

During the show, Song Joong Ki praised Chef Kwon Seong Jun, calling him "Napoli Mafia" and sharing, "My wife lived in Italy her whole life, so we spend about half the year there. Naturally, I’ve fallen in love with Italian food".

He also opened up about their sweet pet names, revealing, "My wife chose our nicknames. We call each other 'yeobo' because she thinks it sounds beautiful".

In another interview on the YouTube show "Hello, It’s Choi Hwa Jung," Song Joong Ki gushed about Katie’s cooking skills, saying, "Thanks to my wife, I’m addicted to Italian food. She’s so amazing. I know I sound like a braggart, but I can’t help it."

He went on to share a unique story about how Katie learned to cook Korean food for him. "Back in high school, Katie’s close friend in Italy was Korean. That friend’s mom studied with Chef Park Chan Il at a top culinary school. Katie learned to cook Korean dishes from her, like abalone porridge and Heotjesabap. It’s touching how much effort she puts into cooking my favorite dishes," he said.

However, fans noticed something in how Song Joong Ki referred to Katie, using terms like "그 친구 (that friend)" or "걔 (that person)". After the interview aired, some viewers commented that it felt too casual or even disrespectful for a public setting. One person wrote, "It’s fine in private, but calling her 'that friend' on TV doesn’t seem right."

Still, many fans defended him, saying every couple has their own way of expressing love. "Their marriage is international and unique. These are just their personal terms", one fan said.

Song Joong Ki married British actress Katie Louise Saunders in 2023. The couple now has a son and a daughter, and their love story continues to charm fans worldwide.

Whether people agree with his words or not, one thing is clear—he’s not shy about showing his admiration for Katie.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
