Song Joong Ki on Battleship Island and his upcoming wedding

It’s a challenge trying to find a crack in the pristine public image of actor Song Joong Ki, who has been enjoying the most explosive pan-Asian popularity since last year’s hit drama series Descendants Of The Sun .

And he has taken on another dashing, heroic role in Ryoo Seung Wan’s war film The Battleship Island. The 31-year-old actor is at the centre of another media whirlwind – his upcoming October marriage to actress Song Hye Kyo, who co-starred in Descendants . “I never wanted to get married late,” Song says on what the public perceived as a sudden announcement last month.

The more people know about it, the more people are going to be able to find solutions to what they’re going through.” The outspoken singer is also...

"When I hired Veronica* in 2014, I thought I was lucky. During her first couple of years, Veronica didn't disappoint me even once.

Unlike a few of my friends' helpers, Veronica was also a good woman, in the sense that she didn't have sexual relationships with random guys and never stayed out late on her day off. Then, one day, something happened to completely change my opinion of her." The lingerie cupboard "I rarely entered Veronica's room because I respected her privacy, but one day last year, I needed to measure one of the walls so that we could get a new closet installed.
