Song Joong-ki made his first official appearance at the Golden Disk Awards after acknowledging his romantic relationship.

The 37th Golden Disk Awards was held at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on the 7th (Korean time).

Song Joong-ki went on stage with JoongAng Ilbo and JTBC Vice President Hong Jeong-do to present the grand prize in the album category. Song Joong-ki said, "I am truly honored to be able to meet fans face-to-face for the first time in three years. Thank you for inviting me."

Song Joong-ki, who heard the audience's cheers, said, "I am touched that so many people have gathered together with a love for K-pop. Seeing it in front of so many people makes me realize the power of K-pop even more."

When asked when he realized his popularity, Song Joong-ki said, "I recently finished the drama 'Chaebol Family's Youngest Son' well. Every time not only Asian fans but also many viewers around the world tell me that they enjoyed my work and like it, it makes me think that K-dramas are deep in their hearts. “I feel loved,” he replied.

Song Joong-ki then named BTS as the grand prize winner in the album category along with Vice President Hong.

Song Joong-ki admitted that he was in a relationship in December last year. His agency Hijium Studio said, "Song Joong-ki is continuing to meet a woman with good feelings. We hope you will look at their meeting with warm eyes."

Afterwards, there was a lot of interest in who Song Joong-ki was dating. The person that comes to mind is Katie Louise Saunders, a former British actress. After winning the grand prize at the APAN Star Awards last October, Song Joong-ki said, "I love Katie, Nala, Maya, and Antes. I want to tell you that I love you so much." There is speculation that the 'beloved Katie' mentioned at the time is the person in question. 'Nala' is the name of his dog, and 'Maya' and 'Anthes' were confirmed to be the names of his dogs that Katie had revealed on social media in the past, making this speculation convincing.

It is known that Song Joong-ki was accompanied by his girlfriend when he visited Singapore to attend the 'Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family' media conference. In a video captured by a media outlet while returning to Korea, Song Joong-ki was captured escorting a woman and walking with her. In the video, Song Joong-ki's girlfriend was wearing a loose-fitting top, and above all, she moved around touching or covering her stomach with her hands. As a result, there were rumors of marriage and pregnancy. However, Song Joong-ki is being told that it is “difficult to confirm” this.
