Song Joong-ki's still in spotlight despite end of Descendants of The Sun

The mega-popular South Korean military drama Descendants Of The Sun has ended its run on the small screen, but the popularity of its lead actor Song Joong Ki is far from over.

The 30-year-old was reported last week to have landed a record-breaking endorsement deal with Chinese beauty brand Proya.

Estimated by insiders to be worth $4.7 million, the deal tops those of popular South Korean stars Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho.

Fans, some of whom call themselves "Mrs Song", have also jumped at the chance to see their "husband" in the flesh - regardless of the cost, it seems.

Illegal ticket brokers are selling Song's South Korea fan meet tickets for almost 1 million won (S$1,200). The original price is 22,000 won.

Song kicked off his Asian fan meet tour on April 17 in Seoul.

His fans were also treated to a photo spread of the actor in this month's issue of fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar Korea.

Titled "Exclusive, Song Joong-ki's Very Private Moment", the spread included a shot of Song bare-chested and wrapped in white bedsheets.

The magazine also later released extra photos on its Facebook page, eliciting frenzied gushing from Song's online fan base. Song does not have any social media accounts.

But fame comes at a price, with everything connected to Song coming under scrutiny...

 

 

THE SISTER

The past will always hunt you - and that applies not just to Song but to his younger sister Seulgi as well.

Fans who could not get enough of the actor started digging into footage of his past TV appearances, including one of Seulgi supporting him at a celebrity athletic event in 2012.

First a victim of comments such as "all the good genes had (gone) to Joong Ki", Seulgi has since become a talking point after recent photos of her showed a dramatic transformation into a slimmer and more feminine woman, fuelling rumours of her having done plastic surgery.

THE EX-GIRLFRIEND

Pictures of Song hugging his ex-girlfriend were leaked last month and fans were quick to critique her looks.

Lamenting his loss of privacy, Song said during an interview: "To be honest, I'm a little upset these days. My family has been exposed to the media. Some people break into our house. My ex-girlfriend's photos are circulating online.

"To say that these are things I need to endure for the sake of celebrity... that's sad. I want to respectfully request that my private life remain private."

THE GRADES

It turns out the A-lister was an A-student, as fans found out after his impressive academic records were revealed online.

The business graduate from Sungkyunkwan University was also a competitive short-track skater during his middle-school days, and was the vice-president of his high school's student council.

Song received an extremely high score in his college entrance examination and a teacher said of him: "He was definitely a very smart student.

"He had the potential to enter the best university in Korea."

THE PAL

Benefitting from Song's soaring popularity is fellow actor Lee Kwang Soo, who has been making headlines whenever Song talks about him.

Their "bromance" started when the duo met as cast members for variety show Running Man in 2010. They also co-starred in the 2012 drama The Innocent Man.

Lee was said by Song to be his biggest source of strength while he was in the army.

He also made a cameo appearance in the first episode of the drama.

THE HOME

Termed a "landmark", the home of Song's parents has become a tourist attraction after it was rumoured that he visited regularly.

They live in South Korea's Daejeon city, 140km south of capital Seoul, and it is part of a village housing about 20 families.

Tourists also flock to a tree that he is said to drop by every time he visits his parents.

[Photos] Song Joong-ki VS Rain, Skajan battle
 
photo719453.jpg

This year's 'it' fashion item is the Skajan. Skajan is everywhere on the 'new items' list from luxurious brands to casual ones.

Skajan fabricates too. Latest Skajan items come with embroidered patterns on thin silk or satin. These are perfect for days with big temperature gaps.

Song Joong-ki and Rain put on the same Skajan items in the May issue of Bazaar and Cosmopolitan.

- What piece of clothing?

The jacket they are wearing is embroidered with a crane and flowers. It has a Japanese vibe to it and the collar is finished with a touch of Chinese. There's no zipper but instead, buttons and the price is 4,715,000 won.

- Song Joong-ki?

He is full of charisma. He's wearing dark blue pants with a light Skajan jacket to match. His hair is pulled back and his eyes are glaring at the camera.

- Rain?

He is shocking. He is wearing the same print up and down. His shorts stop just above his knees and his body can be seen through the slightly parted Skajan jacket. He's wearing a white pair of slip-ons.

- Same outfit, different feel

Song Joong-ki tried for a different look from the drama. He became a macho man with the fancy Skajan print.

Rain also tried for a new look by matching shorts to his Skajan. Not everyone can do that. Rain added 'strong' to 'strong with his two-block hair cut and fierce eyes.
