Song Joong-ki, another rash controversy broke out... Even after remarriage and becoming a father, the same feathered words and actions
Cutting and eating images with my own hands was still the same even after I became a father. Actor Song Joong-ki, who was beaten several times for his careless words and actions, this time created controversy by expressing himself as 'losing a job in the entertainment industry' over marriage and the birth of a 2-year-old.
In a recent English interview with Chinese media Sina Entertainment, Song Joong-ki said, "Sometimes in the entertainment industry, being someone's husband or father means losing your job. Having a baby and getting married makes me feel like I'm losing my job more and more. "he said.
This was an interview with his wife, Katie Lewis Saunders, before giving birth. Song Joong-ki said, "I love my job, and I will work hard for myself and my family. I can be a good actor, and at the same time be a good person as a father, husband, and son." It could be," he said. However, Song Joong-ki's remarks were difficult to sympathize with. It's hard to find a 'top male star' who lost his job because he became a father in the Korean entertainment industry. In the past, female actors have had unintentional career breaks due to marriage and childbirth, but this is also becoming a thing of the past.
Above all, Song Joong-ki is about to release the films 'Bogotá' and 'Hwaran' this year, and has finished filming the Netflix movie 'Ro Gi-wan'. It is pointed out that it is not appropriate for Song Joong-ki, who is still filling his schedule with his next work as a top star, to mention these issues.
If you look at Jo Jung-suk and Lee Byung-hun, they became fathers after marriage when they were in their prime, but there was no damage at all. This is because being a father and being good at acting are two separate areas. This is why it is difficult for the public to understand why Song Joong-ki, who made successes such as 'Vincenzo' and 'The youngest son of a conglomerate house', is worried about losing his job even after divorce with Song Hye-kyo.
Previously, Song Joong-ki refused to pose with a hand heart at the production presentation of 'The youngest son of a conglomerate house', but when Lee Sung-min, a senior actor, made a hand heart himself, he belatedly posed and drew criticism. At the time of the production presentation, his wife Katie was pregnant, so he seemed to notice, but the production presentation is a business. It means that there is no need to make the atmosphere on set cold by refusing even a formal hand heart for the wife to watch. While Song Joong-ki built a house in Itaewon, Seoul, he also caused a nuisance to the residents of the neighborhood. Residents complained about noise from the construction and road safety issues that continued for a year and five months. There's no way Song Joong-ki didn't know that the official documents from the ward office had come several times. Song Joong-ki was clearly responsible for ignoring building laws and civil complaints.
There was also controversy at the time of the 2017 movie 'Battleship Island'. After making press play as a conceptual actor appearing in a movie about the colonial era, he showed imprudence by holding an engagement party with his ex-wife Song Hye-kyo in Japan a month after the filming was over.
After 'Battleship Island' was criticized for distorting history, in an interview, he said, "There are good Koreans in the movie, but there are also bad Koreans." It was pointed out that the remarks at the time had no concept because there were victims (Joseon) and perpetrators (Japan) openly.
If you're afraid of losing your job, you just have to be good at acting. Having a good family is a personal responsibility. It is regrettable that Song Joong-ki's words and actions created controversy.
