Celebrating a New Addition to the Family

During a press conference on December 23, while promoting his latest film, Bogota: City of the Lost, Joong-ki paused to express his joy as a first-time father again. The actor revealed that the experience of holding his daughter felt distinctly different from holding his son, stating, ‘the feeling was truly unforgettable.’
A Growing Responsibility

Joong-ki remarked how balancing his family life with his career has brought new depth to his personal life.
Learning Spanish for His Children
In addition to sharing touching fatherhood moments, Song Joong-ki discussed his commitment to ensuring his children are bilingual. Inspired by his wife’s Colombian heritage, he is actively learning Spanish, revealing, ‘if I fall behind, it’ll be harder to communicate.’ Joong-ki intends for his children to engage with their roots, saying, ‘one day they might speak Spanish better than I do.’ This intimate approach to parenting underlines the actor’s dedication to creating a nurturing environment for his family amidst his busy career.
