Top Korean actor Song Joong Ki is currently in Manila for a live appearance in MOA Arena tonight.

Ahead of his "I AM Song Joong Ki: Live in Manila" event with I AM Worldwide, Song Joong Ki graced a press conference, where he talked about his partnership with the wellness brand, what it's like to be in Manila for the first time, how he takes care of his well-being, among others. The Reborn Rich star also shared some cute anecdotes about his family! 

He arrived in Manila almost midnight last night, but he woke up early this morning. "I woke up at 7 AM because my baby called, video-called me. I woke up and I said 'hi' to my babies, and I opened the curtain in my room, and then there was a really beautiful view of the seaside. Lovely view. I really wanted to go out, but I can't," he shared. Song Joong Ki said he would've loved to check out the traditional supermarkets in Manila, but he doesn't have enough time to do so during this visit. This marks his second trip to the Philippines; he previously visited Cebu, but this is the first time he has visited the country for an event.




Considering how busy he must be, we told him we're curious about how he unwinds. Answering through a translator, the Vincenzo star said, "Recently, I feel really healed when I spend time with my babies and the family as well. When there's no schedule, of course, I would spend time with my family. That's on the schedule, and that's when I feel my life is balanced... If I'm working, of course, I would have to be 100% focused on my schedule, but when I'm given the time, I would really prefer to spend time with my family and babies.

In January 2023, Song Joong Ki announced that he and his British girlfriend, Katy Louise Saunders, tied the knot. On June 14, 2023, Katy gave birth to their son, and on November 20, 2024, the couple announced that they welcomed a daughter.



What is his idea of happiness today? "When I think about family, that's when happiness really hits the emotions. And to be specific with my answer, I'm at my happiest when my babies sleep well," he smiled, answering through a translator, and the parents in the audience couldn't help but agree.

Song Joong Ki is famous for K-dramas Sungkyungkwan Scandal, The Innocent Man, Descendants of the Sun, Arthdal Chronicles, Vincenzo, and Reborn Rich, which will have a second season. He will also star in an upcoming series titled My Youth.
