Song Joong-ki enjoys global recognition recognized even by U.S. citizens

Actor Song Joong-ki enjoyed global recognition when he went to the United States.

Song Joong-ki's agency, Hijium Studio, posted a video titled 'Since I'm in New York, let's film it. Song Joong-ki's Vlog in New York.'

Song Joong-ki said that an American citizen recognized him that day and said, "'Huh? I watched 'Vincenzo' and he said you looked like the kid from 'Vincenzo'." He added, "I said, 'I saw it too, that's interesting.'"

Afterwards, Song Joong-ki went to eat. He said, “When I first started vlogging, it was cod soup, but now I go to eat Mexican food. Of course, I like cod soup better.”

While walking down the street, Song Joong-ki said, "I came to New York for the first time with my mother and younger brother after filming 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'. At that time, I went to Times Square and walked around to see if Koreans recognized me or not." He added, "I feel embarrassed when I think about that time. Still, “I am so grateful that you recognized me,” he said, drawing attention.

At a Mexican restaurant, Song Joong-ki said, "I learned a lot of Spanish when I went to Bogota, but I don't remember it," and showed off simple Spanish words such as 'ola' and 'ola amiro.'

When Song Joong-ki, the director of photography, asked, "What do you want to do?" and said, "I have to film a vlog tomorrow," he jokingly said, "I'm going to sleep in my room."

However, the next day, Song Joong-ki headed to Brooklyn to explore the city. “I feel like I have to eat an oyster,” he said, as if amazed by people recognizing him, “How do Americans recognize me?”

Afterwards, Soong Joong-ki stopped at famous places in Brooklyn, ate food at a French restaurant, and stopped at a bookstore to buy a book. He then spent a comfortable time greeting an American citizen who was walking his dog in the park.

Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki became a legally married couple after registering his marriage with former British actress Katie Louise Saunders. Katie is pregnant, and Song Joong-ki is expected to become a father within the year.
