Song Joong Ki's out from duty and back into Descendants of the Sun.

Pretty boy actor Song Joong Ki is out from his compulsory military services. So the flower boy actor is finally back to the small screen and aren't we all happy to greet him back to the entertainment world? Before even he's been released from army, writer Kim Sook Eun has already casted Joong Ki as the main lead for the upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun starring A-list actress Song Hae Gyo including supporting roles from Jin Goo, Kim Ji Won, Kang Shin Il, Seo Jung Yeon, Lee Seong Jun, Hyeon Ju Ni...etc.

As far as we looked back in those years, Joong Ki has come a long way to where he was. He was a former athelete in short
speed skating but after injuring himself he had to quit. His small roles started from films such as Frozen Flower, The Case of Itaewon Homicide including dramas Triple, Take Care of Young Lady and Will It Snow for Christmas? When he was casted in Sungkyunkwan Scandal as the playboy Gu Yong Ha...his popularity just exploded all over the place. Not only he gained lots of advertisements, he also won several drama awards. He played the younger version of King Sejong in Tree with deep Roots. Then he was casted again for main lead in Innocent Man with Moon Chae Won and Park Shi Yeon.


Joong Ki also starred in the movie Penny Pinchers with Han Ye Seul and Shin Soo Yul. His biggest film he has done was Wolf Boy along with actress Park Bo Young where it was his very last role playing as a teen or a boyish character. He hosted Music Bank for a year with Seo Hye Rim. He was also in Dream Team Season 2 for a while. Joong Ki was a permanent cast member in the variety program Running Man with the other members. However he quit the show when he was concentrating more on acting career. As always he was considered the most pretty looking cast member and even the brainy one in RM. Even Gary get petty and jealous when Ji Hyo is match up with Joong Ki several times. Well who wouldn't be? I mean look at this guy...he hasn't aged much even after 2 years in army- in fact he's quite buffed up after been released. He has one of the best skin complexion for men out there...  no wonder TonyMoly skincare signed him in as their main model. 

In real life, Joong Ki is close friends with actor Lee Kwang Soo and also Jo In Sung. He has mentioned before they went to each others' homes and Lee even visited Song at the army. These two actors bicker non stop as if they are the next Shin Hyung Jun and Jung Jun Ho. The two are same-aged friends except you might wonder why Joong Ki went to army later than Kwang Soo because our dear Giraffe went in earlier before his debut. The two besties have even appeared in Kim Jong Kook's Music video- 남자가 다 그렇지 뭐.

As a budding actor, Song Joong Ki remains the top favorite actor and most wanted man to
be dated in the voting polls. He has even won over female celebrities' hearts. Girl groups SISTAR especially Bora and Girl's Day members are huge fans of Joong Ki. They squealed in happiness the girls spoke to him personally on the phone. Even singer BoA was beaming away when actor Son Hyun Joo called Joong Ki so she could speak to him. Everyone admitted he's very friendly and down to earth person. Singer Younha expressed her happiness in SNS that she is very excited he's out from army. 2011 Miss Korea's Jung Sora admitted in public and in variety shows that she wants to marry him, while leaving him a personal video message calling him hubby- causing audience the studio in shock and laughters. 
(Well who wouldn't want him as a hubby? I would!)

Anyway I am excited and happy that we have gained another actor back into the industry after all I do miss him for 2 years. He was my bias when he starred in SKK Scandal. 

So let's wait for his new drama with Song Hae Gyo... ^_^
