Today is the day! It's Song Joong Ki's birthday!

His Korean fans have been hard at work the past few weeks, collecting birthday messages for him from international fans in the days leading up to today. For this big day, they've compiled those messages into one video! Check it!

And please, also check out Mslonglonglong's 2nd episode of her drama featuring SJK  

Thanks to @koreasongsongcouple for the updates!

Hugs to Ace Chingu and Ms. Capable! Love you guys!

When will it be SSC's turn? I'm so jealous of other ships right now! haha. But congrats to Rain and KTH!

Wherever they are, Song Song better be spending lots of time together ... having lots of laughs, making out, having steamy bedroom sessions, and---I hope---planning a wedding. LOL.

And one day ... will be able to meet him and personally see such a candid smile on his face.

(Zoomed in and cropped shot of SJK from Marie Claire Korea's June 2016 issue.)

@hclover96 Here's a wall post you've been waiting for. LOL. Ace Chingu wanted this shared here, too  

In a July 2015 interview for her movie "The Crossing," Kyo talked about her ideal husband type.

One person perfectly meets all her criteria  *cough*Ki*cough*

Quote

 

 

Part 1

Uh … of course, the appearance cannot be ignored, but more than that, I prefer someone who respects my job. (You can think) I may be selfish, but while I am working, I want him to make me feel comfortable, and someone who is a warmhearted person. First of all, I want us to share many hobbies and communicate well. So, when we travel together, there will be no conflicts with each other. I wish we'll have many favorites in common.

 

 

Part 2

When I am single, my career is a priority. It is because I have to support my family. It is because to keep my family, I cannot leave out my work. My work makes it possible for me to protect my family. So, my work is important. After marriage, still … but after marriage … when I marry, it means I form a new family for whom I will take a whole responsibility, so, I will leave the big part of that responsibility (means making money) to my husband, and I will pay more attention to my family.

Simul-post time with @hclover96!

Thanks to @merrysongs4love2 for finding the MBC Section TV video on Kyo and her radio interview back in 2011. As usual, thanks to Ace Chingu for translating and subbing!

Per Ki (W Korea, May 2017):

Quote

 

I like travelling. I take a walk here and there instead of doing something special. I cannot do it in Korea. So, it will be hard for my friends or manager who go with me. I really like taking a walk, but it will be hard in Korea. So, when I'm overseas, I walk until I get sick of it. Well ... a kind of aerobic exercise.

 

Per Kyo's radio interview back in 2011:

Quote

 

 

SHK: When I have free time, I’ll impulsively go on a trip alone.

 

MC: Oh, really? Alone?

 

SHK: Yes. I fly on trips. Sometimes, flight attendants pity me and let me get off the flight first. They’re embarrassed (for me because I would be alone).

 

MC: Oh, you do?! Where have you gone suddenly? Any place you remember?

 

SHK: I like New York so much. I would go there alone if possible.

 

MC: What do you do there?

 

SHK: I continue to walk there. While walking, if I feel tired, then I would stop to drink tea, take a rest, and then start walking again.

 

 

And per MBC Section TV this year:

Quote

 

 

Reporter: This is from the party from her agency.

 

MC& Reporter: SHK-ssi!

 

Reporter: If you look at her in person, she really looks like a doll.

 

Reporter: One day, I was so impressed by her beauty so I asked her, “May I take a picture of you?” And I took her picture like this. (The photo on the screen is the one that Reporter Nam Hye Yeon took at that time.)

 

Reporter: I asked the party to tell the secret of how she keeps her perfect bodyline figure. The party said SHK-ssi doesn’t go on a diet at all.

 

(MC looks surprised)

 

Reporter: Basically, we know SHK was a little chubby when she was young. At that time, she was only a middle school student.

 

MC: What is her own secret method in maintaining her weight?

 

Reporter: Doing exercise steadily, and she really loves to walk. So, when she goes out while shooting abroad, she comes back having lost more weight—because she walks so much! We always ask her about her eating habits. She does not eat any snacks between meals. Her favorite food is Korean food.

 

MC: She controls herself so well ... She can stop eating at certain moments. It is possible for her to keep her figure because of this self-control.

 

Yep, Kyo loves walks and does exercise, and so, she's able to maintain a svelte figure  What was that about walks being a form of aerobic exercise according to a certain someone?  

Heeeeh ... I imagine the Songs have done a lot of walking together in California and New York  

Nothing to see here. Just being very, very comfortable with each other while waiting to start kissing again ... you know, for the scene, that is.

 @thepixies wall! To anyone tempted to reply to that troll ... please read P's wall  She gives good advice.

Resist the temptation!

#9 LOVE

@joongkyo and @finickyfray LOL. It's my #achievablegoal

Cropped, it looks like a mugshot. LOL.

@joongkyo We're snowflakes now!

@Chewy Hoe LOL. When true friends don't mind being the third wheel  ... 

@profiler and @tessieroo ... I'm so heartbroken over RM!!! And I only got into it a few months ago  What was production thinking?! In any case, I'm glad the cast stood in solidarity with each other. Hope it won't be too awkward filming the rest of the episodes. They'll always be family.

@tessieroo I need to introduce you to @Chewy Hoe She really likes Uncle (Kim Rae Won).

@utkim She and her friends/crew must visit IG and the portals to be so well-aware of the nicknames given to her. LOL.

@hclover96 And @utkim Thank you, guys!!! You guys are great ... ALWAYS!

@hclover96 Never! I shall remain a friendly thorn on your side!  The people want more!

@coffeedizzy Awww. I know what you mean! To me, it's like my sis or brother getting married. Plus, it really is just great fun to window shop online for Kyo.

Anyway, hope you guys don't mind I respond to you here. LOL. Better to have congratulatory messages there for the songs than my pm-like responses. hahah.

@hclover96 You're sooooo nice! Thanks for sharing the comparisons! They have so much in common! And here, I'll be the firm brat for you. Haha.

PLEASE! Please respect @hclover96's request! If re-posting her latest update (comparing Ki's and Kyo's interviews) on IG or anywhere else, then please credit her and the people who provided the translations---@khxy, @smiletall, and @koreasongsongcouple!

Otherwise, the Internet super troopers will be putting guys on notice! 

cr. W Korea

Hmmmm ... what ad-lib ideas did you have, Ki? Had there been more time to film the truck kiss, what ad-libs would we have been in for? Juicy ones?  

Of course, big thanks to @thm55 and to Ace Chingu! 

Please check out @Amy Phan's and @thm55's respective walls and @hclover96's posts (on the thread) for more great stuff from the DVD.  

Look out in there!!! 

As the saying goes, beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing!

And really, why create an account just to raise doubts? If you have doubts, then, why be a shipper?

Also, why link to negative comments about SS? Or bring ugly comments from outside regarding Ki and PBG's friendship? We know hurtful things are said about SS, but such comments have no place in the thread AT ALL! So, why bring them there? The thread is where fans should feel secure; it's where they can get away from all that negativity.

For anyone who still wonders, I suggest starting from the beginning! Read from page 1. Peeps would find many great analyses from fans, especially longtime respective fans of Ki and Kyo. Here are a couple from @ilovesjk, who's my go-to for info on Ki's history.

Here's my attempt to cheer everyone up.  

 

The difference between NOT in a relationship with a costar versus IN a relationship with a costar:

  Hide contents

 

Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young (Werewolf Boy)

• Movie was a success.
• "Dating rumors" started by SJK himself. 
• Have tons of close selcas.
• SJK openly express affection towards PBY. 
• Uses smooth skinship and words during interviews and press conferences.
• Have nothing to do with each other outside of work.

 

•  

VERSUS

Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo (Descendants of the Sun)

• Drama is a success.
• Dating rumors because the two were spotted holding hands in New York. 
• Hangs out after hours having intimate tea time and dinner, nothing related to work.
• Openly expresses they hang out and have talks over drinks, nothing related to work.
• In the public's eyes, they are strangers.
• Even at the party they both hosted, they sat on opposites ends of the room.

 

 

And here's @ilovesjk's masterpiece---the timeline! LOL. I think this is my 2nd time re-posting this? The timeline does need to be updated---BY SO MUCH---however, it does show that from the beginning this ship has been sailing itself! Muwahaha.

 So I mentioned previously about a theory I had that strongly convinces me that SongSong are real and time finally allowed me to write it. Bare with me as this will be the longest post of life.

Now this isn't anything new or some secret stuff I managed to snag from an insider but are just an accumulation of events and popular topic of discussions we've had in this thread. I just wanted to gather all of them into one piece and stem my reasoning from there.

To begin, above all else, the thing that convinces me the most about them is how blatantly inconsistent they've been since the beginning until this very day. So this will be my main focus of this post.

Here's what I mean:

May 19, 2015: Articles of SHK's Elle Magazine interview were translated and in there she dishes on SJK, sharing that they first met during the set of TWTWB and coincidentally on several more counts at cafes and always greeted each other well. She also mentions she feels apologetic towards him that fresh out of military, he isn't being paired up with a pretty young actress but instead with her. At this I want to say they aren't complete strangers to one another but can't really say they're friends either, due to the gaps of familiarity her words conveyed.

May 30, 2015: SJK's photo was uploaded onto @chulhwa's Instagram and the first person to comment was SHK. To me, I guess this solidifies that they're friendly. They obviously have mutual friends and hang out at the same places.

October 2015: SJK is careful with his words when talking about SHK in his Elle Magazine interview. He was a little hesitant to say they are compatible, feeling he may be giving himself too much credit to dare say he's a good match with THE Song Hye Kyo. Like the respectful man he is, his comment here evidently shows respect towards a sunbaenim and a noona and someone of higher stature in the showbiz. Note, he does call her noona in this interview. But he also mentioned that the two are so close to the point of confusing the staff and even gaining an advice from Writer Kim telling him to date properly. I guess with this interview, we can take away that the two are close and enjoy working together.

September 28, 2015: The cast and crew jets off to Greece. Everyone was spotted upon arrival to the airport but SHK. A fan account revealed SJK and SHK were both spotted together by the boarding area. The most interesting part about this day was right before the airport, SJK was hanging out at studio concrete. It would be safe to assume the two were there together before heading to the airport.

January 24, 2016: The two bought a birthday cake to celebrate Private Puppy's birthday. This we just found out recently. So alright, they were still meeting up after filming wrapped up and even making decisions together. They are beyond close at this point because what colleagues do this anyway? At least they haven't done this with any of their previous ones.

Somewhere in between January 28, 2016 - February 20, 2016: The very famous and most talked about among shippers, the New York rendezvous! So the original post, which wasn't known to the public until later but it came from a friend of the foreign exchange student and it mentioned she spotted a handsome guy at the store which drew her attention to him. After taking a closer look, she realized it was SJK. He was holding the hand of a girl who was pretty much covered up but can clearly be seen to be SHK. If any of this holding hand is true then obviously they are dating now. I, for one, believe it's true, but let's say even if it's not true, we at least know they were in New York together, for something completely unrelated to work.

February 22, 2016: So despite not knowing about the New York sighting yet, what we got so far was that the two are pretty close. So of course this was the most anticipated press conference where we'd finally get to see them together and get a feel of their chemistry. But nope, the most anticipated press conference turned into the ultimate press conference of awkwardness real quick. This sent fans of the show in frenzied, worrying about their onscreen chemistry since the two are practically strangers in real life. At this point, I was questioning it too. But later realized that it was more suspicious than disappointing, especially from judging SJK, the mastermind of Public Relations. Why was he anything but that on this particular day? One important thing we got out of this was he addresses SHK as Song Hye Kyo-ssi and no longer noona as he did previously.

February 24, 2016: Come the big day and everyone was blown away! Yup blown away! They couldn't believe how much brewing chemistry these two had with the question of whether they were even acting up for debate.

March 16, 2016: Mid Press Conference. We didn't get to witness this but got a scope of it through articles and it seemed they were more relaxed. Still not relaxed enough to be considered "close" as they professed themselves, however. But SJK's lack of promotional tactics remained suspicious to me.

March 21, 2016: The two were swept up in dating rumors in which both agencies released official statements confirming their meet up in New York but only as close colleagues. This was the game changer! Their aloof behaviors at the press conference back fired on them, raising questions everywhere. If they were so close to even hang out half way around the world and are truly nothing but close colleagues, what was the distant behaviors all about? What were they trying to hide? The puzzle pieces were slowly coming together.

March 28, 2016: The two met up, accompanied by 2 alpha team members for dinner and late night tea. Said to have stayed at the restaurant until 3AM. Something is really fishy. This really backed up the New York meeting for me that it wasn't coincidental like their agencies have claimed but rather planned by both parties. Relating it back to their suspicious behaviors during the press conference, I was pretty much sold on the idea that these two are dating!

Somewhere in March: SHK's personal hair stylist was spotted on the set of SJK's LG Bamboo Salt cf shoot. Note, they did not share this stylist prior to DOTS otherwise SHK would have mentioned it as she continuously mentioned during TWTWB that her and JIS used to share the same makeup artist. The two have gotten close enough to even start sharing staffs.

March 30, 2016: SJK gave an on air interview on News9. Was asked about the rumors and didn't deny them. Instead he answered vaguely that the two discuss this matter over drinks and are enjoying it. So he basically confirmed that they meet up often and are pretty close. Again he continues to address SHK as Song Hye Kyo-ssi.

April 1, 2016: They co-hosted a congratulatory party. Really, mere colleagues do stuff like this? Since when? Expecting that since they already publicly declared their closeness and nothing should be suspected of the two, they'd have no problem being seen together but nope, not the case. Albeit from their continuous claims of being close colleagues to cover up their New York sighting and other outings, they went back to their aloof behaviors, going the extra mile to stay apart.

April 4, 2016: Their 007 airport mission took my suspicion to the next level. With SJK posing as a decoy to distract the attention only to allow SHK to get through without trouble, securely and comfortably abandoning his staffs and joining SHK and hers on the other side. Again, the sharing of staffs.

Upon arrival to Hong Kong the two were spotted walking side by side until they spotted paparazzi in which SHK obviously sprinted ahead of SJK, and her manager proceeding to walk between them. But if the two are close, there wouldn't be a problem walking side by side. So why the need to be so cautious?

Later during dinner, the same choreographed seating was arranged with Ms Park in between them, which was an amusement to the HK press, making sure to mention this part in details in next day's published article.

April 5, 2016: HK press conference and we get a complete swap of them being more open and showcasing their closeness. Even during dinner, SHK suddenly decides to shower the fans with 4 photos of the two on her Instagram account, completely contradicting what the HK press had to say about them in their reports. After dinner, their mission continues with the two escaping backdoor and was reportedly chauffeured by the famous chef of the restaurant supposedly back to their hotel.

April 6, 2016: SHK shows up to the airport in the best mood ever but wearing the same exact clothes from the previous night. And the rest is for your minds to wonder...

April 6, 2016 - April 9, 2016: SJK was spotted with SHK's hair stylist yet again. She did not leave back with SHK but instead stayed behind with SJK.

In conclusion, from the beginning until now, the two have shown a pattern of inconsistency, contradicting their claims over and over again. If there was nothing to hide, what's the point in going through so much trouble? Say they're close and just stick to it! How hard can that possibly be? Also notice how the only times they appear not close are times in front of the media with Hong Kong as an exception?

For comparison's sake, I will bring up their previous costars.

SHK+JIS: From beginning to end, continuously praised each other as colleagues, harping about how much of an honor it was for both to meet in a project together. Sharing subtle laughs here and there. Contact ended once drama ended.

SJK+MCW: From beginning to end, excessive praising and skinships, openly "confessing". Contact ended once drama ended.

SJK+PBY: From beginning to end, excessive praising and skinships, openly "confessing". He supports her in her endeavors by attending her movie premieres but it pretty much ends there.

I think I've written enough so I will leave the rest for you all to form your own judgment. I hope I made some kind of sense because I tried to be as brief as possible also I wrote this fairly quickly.

"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." -Lao Tzu

With people adapting a tolerance for misinformation, do they really think our trusted friends who were already feeling uneasy for some time and used to come bearing good news will post there ever again? Good luck with that. People have proven once and for all that they aren't to be trusted and don't deserve to be rewarded with good updates. Positive vibes don't mean we stop being responsible.

Tagging my adorable twin @finickyfray for another simul-post!

The awesome fans from DC DOTS sent snacks to Director Lee to cheer him on for the production of the best DVD! What a way to support him!

@thepixies This is for you ... but also describes how I feel because of the Songs and the IG madness created by Kyo and her friends! LOL. We've absolutely lost it. LOL. Dry spells are bad for us.

This ...

makes me think of this ... (One of Sigang's final two posts of 2016. HUHUHUHU. Damn. I hope she returns this year!)

...

since the interviews went underway in two different rooms, they didn't have chance to see Jiwon(cause they waited for Kyo), but luckily kyo's interviewing room was the same floor where they waited, so they had a good chance to give gifts to kyo in person,  when they walked straightforwardly towards kyo with their hearts pounding so hard , out of the blue, Jk popped up and stood making his wondering look beside them (they didn't even notice there was jk cause they didn't expect jk to show up and their eyes were all for kyo at that time)they realized then that ki came upstairs with kyo. they tried so hard to stay calm and hold back their excitement cause they saw sigang(kikyo) together and when they gave gift bags to kyo, ki seemed still wondering and searching for his gifts, so one of the members kindly told him that they've already given his gifts to his manager, and then he said "Ah~" and looked very pleased .

...

...

p.s: the dvd commentary support team told us to expect the couple commentary cause its vibe was so good , the running time would come out as we wanted.

the best part for me was ki escorting kyo and ki might wait until kyo finished her interview.

 

 

 

A big thank you to @thm55 and Ace chingu! You guys always come through for the gang and the rest of the shippers!

And I bow down to your very keen/perceptive ears, @thm55!
