@backstreetboysfan  thanks for sharing this. A ring is seen on Katy’s finger. She's wearing a huge diamond ring on her right fourth finger. So, he took her with him for Hungary. Her pregnancy isn't so obvious yet. Reporters asked him about his marriage and Katy’s pregnancy, but he left the departure hall without giving any answer.   

Your welcome @willenette, yeah I saw wow. I am glad wow.

*** SJK seems truly happy and affectionate to share his love publicly! The cameras caught Song Joong Ki affectionately touching his wife’s hair then moved his hand to her shoulder and reassuringly rubbed her shoulder before letting go. Even as they were walking down the escalator, he puts his hand on her back to guide her. I noticed when she greeted the press and fans waiting, she's like a true Korean, bowing to those around her. Seeing the happy couple more open

 

about their relationship is heartwarming.

Song Joong Ki Expresses His Affection For His Wife, Speaks Up About Rumors, And More

 

Song Joong Ki has graced the cover of GQ Korea!

 

In the pictorial, Song Joong Ki draws attention with his mature yet youthful atmosphere that he similarly showcased through his role in JTBC’s hit drama “Reborn Rich” last year.

 

Previously in December 2022, the actor surprised fans with his marriage announcement along with his wife’s pregnancy news. In an interview that followed the photo shoot, Song Joong Ki expressed deep affection for his wife Katy Louise Saunders by sharing, “If I had to explain what kind of a person Katy is, I can tell you lots of stories about what a nice person she is. But since today’s interview is limited in time and space, I won’t be able to tell you everything. Simply put, she is a friend who gives me trust in many aspects. For example, there are thoughts and philosophies that I usually have, and she is a woman who reconvinces me that they are correct. [She is] a friend who often tells me, ‘That sounds like you.'”

 

 

Song Joong Ki also spoke up about the rumor about his wife being a single mother. The actor shared, “At first, I was fine. It was an everyday occurrence for us, and even if many people know about it, our love wouldn’t change. But then, when the nonsensical stories kept growing, I got angry honestly. Except for the name of the university that she attended (Milan Bocconi University), none of the rumors were true.”

 

 

Song Joong Ki also mentioned, “When my anger was growing, Katy told me, ‘You don’t have to be angry with these people.’ I can’t say much about it here, but she is that kind of a person. She guides me toward a positive direction and balances me out.”

 

Spoiler

 

Song Joong Ki reminisced about the day he announced his marriage to his fans by sharing, “That day, I registered our marriage and went straight to the script reading and gosa (a traditional Korean ritual to pray for good luck when starting a big event) site for the film ‘My Name is Loh Kiwan.’ Katy and I had a late dinner together after finishing work. That day was really hectic.”

Song Joong Ki’s full pictorial and interview will be available in the March issue of GQ Korea.

@backstreetboysfan  thanks for sharing this. Good that he honestly opened up about the various rumors and excessive attention surrounding his fiancée/wife. He also said on this spread that creating his own family and having children were two of his biggest goals in life, so he's excited, and a little anxious. Happy for them. I totally agree it's nobody's business after all and I wish them nothing but happiness - Different websites are translating things differently. Well, she is very pretty. FIGHTING, Joongki!

*** Lee Sung-min talked about being impressed by Song Joong Ki yesterday, February 27 during his press interview  online. During the interview, he shared how much Song Joong Ki impressed him while they filmed 'Reborn Rich' together last year. He said, "Joong Ki was an incredible actor. I still remember him calling me grandpa even when cameras weren't rolling. He was always everywhere on site. I mean this in a good way; he took care of all staff members including those with minor roles, and each of the cast. I was amazed by that. At first, I looked at him through prejudiced eyes because of his looks and stuff. But it turned out he was completely different to how I thought he would be. He was quite the opposite. What I found the most impressive about him was the fact that he never covered his face or sat in the corner when we went to a restaurant. One time, we went to eat at a sundae gukbap (blood sausage soup) place. I didn't think that he would be okay to sit alongside random people at the restaurant since he's a superstar, but there he sat. It seemed like he had no problem with it as well. Whenever he happened to stumble upon his fans or anyone who recognized him, he would treat them so nicely. He also never reacted to them asking for his photos in a sensitive manner. I feel uncomfortable getting too much attention sometimes. So, I was very impressed seeing him like that. I kept thinking to myself, 'That's honestly how I should be. It's something that I must learn from

 

him.'"

*** Song Joong Ki shared how angry he was about rumors surrounding his wife former British actress Katy Louise Saunders in GQ Korea fashion magazine. First, he disclosed what kind of person she is to him, "I would have to go on for ages to tell you how great of a person she is. There's only a limited time given to us for this interview, so if I were to put it shortly, she is someone who gives me trust in many ways. For instance, she lets me know that all my perspectives on life are right, which makes me more certain that I'm going the right way. She also always tells me that's just the way I am, and it's alright to be like that." Then, he clarified that speculations regarding her are false, except for information on her school, "Everything except for the name of her university―Bocconi University―is not true. At first, I was completely okay about them, because things like that happen to us all the time. Besides, those rumors weren't going to change our love and relationship. But as more and more ridiculous words spread, I started becoming quite angry. When I raged about them, this was what she said to me, 'There's no need to fume at those people.' I can't say much about her now, but she's that sort of person. She leads me to a positive direction, and makes sure I maintain balance." He expressed happiness about his marriage and pregnancy of Katy Louise Saunders. Last, he revealed the things he did on the day he registered their marriage, "I had a hectic day then. After registering our marriage, I went to the read through for my upcoming film 'My Name Is Loh Kiwan'. I got home late, and had late dinner with her."
