If you ever list the names of the celebrities that has been recently popping up in search fields, it would be none other than actor Song Joong Ki (33). With last year's big hit KBS drama Descendants of the Sun, he has enjoyed massive popularity and became an instant Hallyu star. Then he decided to switch directions to film the movie 'Battleship Island' with Hwang Jung Min and So Ji Sub directed by PD Ryu Seung Wan.
Battleship Island is on the high end with expected 10 million viewers before it is even released to the cinemas. And before that, Song announces his upcoming marriage to fellow actress Song Hae Gyo.
Song Joong Ki has mentioned it is a process of becoming an 'adult'. His new movie is expected to have 60,000 viewers for the preview. Being nervous? Yes, he was expecting more than nervousness while he desires to do two great things at once. Since airing the first episode of Descendants of the Sun, he has spend most of his time filming the movie Battleship Island. He felt he has matured and grown up while participating in the project. Through this movie, Song has pointed out he is bound to experience more in a 'bigger world'.
As an actor, he has learned something about the movie scene while doing this work. He learned happiness to work together with many actors, staffs and director Ryu. Then he decided to marry Song Hae Gyo while filming Battleship Island. In the meantime, there has been a lot of changes in the country too. Song's role in the film is Park Mu Yeong who works under the OSS of the Gwangbok-gun- some kind of special unit. He sneaks into the warships to get out of the army. Park only works on the espionage and was about to leave the island decided to help the Koreans escape while they work.
Battleship Island is somehow considered to be 'The Great Escape' sequence.
When asked to pick one of his most favourite scenes- he pointed out just before the escape, Mu Yeong and fellow Koreans have a long discussion and made a resolution. The scene where the Koreans lit up tons of candles is overwhelming and gives a strange vibe. It is cinematic but realistic. It wasn't easy to shoot those scenes in the movie and he did his best collaborating with the veteran actors.
Now he is moving onto building a new family however he doesn't feel the pressure.
It just happened within a short period of time. He is expecting all good things to roll in - most of all happiness and work. He will do his best and work hard.
