• Song Joong Ki Shares His Life as a Hands-On Dad, “I Bathed My Baby Every Day for 200 Days, Holding My Daughter Feels So Special”

    Actor Song Joong Ki opened up about his parenting journey, sharing heartwarming stories about his two children and life as a father.

    On the January 12 episode of JTBC's Please Take Care of My Refrigerator Since 2014, Song Joong Ki appeared with Lee Hee Joon to promote their movie Bogotá. During the show, Song Joong Ki shared touching details about his growing family.

    The actor, who welcomed his second child in November last year, expressed his joy, saying, "It still doesn’t feel completely real. Our second child was born just two weeks ago (as of filming), and I’m just so happy. It’s amazing."

    He added, "Our kids are close in age, but holding my daughter feels different. She snuggles in so warmly. That feeling is unforgettable, right?" The hosts, Kim Sung Joo and Ahn Jung Hwan, couldn’t help but agree.

    When asked about his first child’s milestones, Song Joong Ki shared, “He’s just starting to talk now. It’s so adorable when he speaks. He says, ‘Good night, Dad. I love you,’ in Korean. And when he wants to be carried, he says, ‘Collo,’ which means ‘neck’ in Italian. It’s his way of asking to be held.”

    Song Joong Ki also talked about raising a multilingual child with his wife, Katy. "Since Katy lived in Italy, our first child started speaking Italian, and I couldn’t understand him at all. I thought, ‘This is serious.’ So now, I’m focused on learning languages, and my wife is learning Korean. Sometimes, our child speaks the Korean I taught him.”

    He added, “Katy speaks English, Italian, Spanish, and French, and she’s learning Korean. I’m working on English and Italian. We’re balancing our time between Korea and Tuscany, Italy.”

    One of the most heartwarming moments he shared was his dedication to bathing his child every single day for 200 days. “I felt like I had to do it. My mom taught me that. When I bathe my baby, the way they stare at me is so touching. I feel accomplished when I bathe them well and tuck them into bed at the end of the day.”

    Looking ahead, Song Joong Ki revealed his dreams for the future with his children. “I want to take baths together, play sports I love, and go to Hanwha Eagles games wearing matching uniforms,” he said with excitement.

    Lee Hee Joon, who joined the discussion, shared his own parenting story about teaching his child to ride a bike. He expressed regret about missing the moment his child learned to ride without training wheels, saying, “I trained them for three years, but my wife took the wheels off while I was filming. She sent me a picture, and I felt so sad.”

    In response, Song Joong Ki said, “I’ve learned a lot today,” showing his appreciation for the advice.

    Fans couldn’t help but swoon over Song Joong Ki’s loving words and his dedication as a father, proving once again why he’s admired both on and off the screen.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
