This is the time of the month when the fashion mags release their teaser photos for the next month’s issues, which is why we’ve got a couple of them released at the same time. This one features Song Joong-ki, whose “pretty boy” concept goes literal (the term for pretty boy is directly translated “flower boy”) in the Elle fashion spread for the magazine’s June issue.
He’s known for his personable image and pretty features, and joked that upon seeing the photo concept, “You could call me ‘unni-like.’” In the accompanying interview, Song showed a hint of some of his acting ambition, saying, “When I choose a project, rather than just thinking of a role I could handle, I’m drawn more to characters that make me wonder if I can pull them off well.”
After wrapping up his drama OB-GYN, Song put out a men’s health and beauty book, Beautiful Skin Project, which topped the bestseller list within a month of publication. Next, he will prepare for the upcoming drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal, which stars Micky Yoochun and is rumored to be considered casting Seo Hyo-rim as his love interest (which I would LOVE, because I find her a vivacious and endearing actress). The “youth sageuk” features four young men in the Joseon era and is already incurring “F4″ comparisons. Sungkyunkwan Scandal is scheduled for a September premiere on KBS.
Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki also has a movie coming out, Heart Is 2 (posters below), and recently participated in an animal rights campaign. The movie will release later this summer.

Dammit javabeans, you’re just going after all my weaknesses! Pretty boys and PUPPIES – the perfect combination… *squeals*
song joong ki is the future kang ji hwan or rain, just like kim soo hyun is the future go soo or so ji sub. hahaha random? sorry, JMO
Meh, too feminine for my taste in men to watch.
EEEEE MY CRUSH! He’s so adorable *swoon*
LOL… when i first saw this on the homepage, my first thought was “what a pretty gir!!” my second was “Park shin hye is really pretty”, my third is “wait a minute, this is not her” and then i was like “WTH… it’s cutie pie SJK!!!” XD
haha.. silly me.
i really like him so thanks for posting this…
Yikes. Love the boy. But that photo looks like Peter Pan having had an unfortunate collision with the Rose Parade.
yes he’s very pretty and all but that’s ridiculous
cute boys and cute puppies, fatal combination?
So cute! SJK and puppies…..
/basks in adorableness
also is that im ju hwan with him the last poster? haven’t seen him in so long i think i’ve forgotten what he looks like
I wish they didn’t make him look so much like a spinster who got dehydratred because she doesn’t care about anything else but her garden..
he looks cute in the other photos though..
haha interesting. I love him and I think he’s smart in choosing good roles that he can do well, especially now that he’s gotten the attention on his cute face. I think that’s good for him, but I don’t see him as a good “actor,” just an adorable, refreshing face I’d like to see a lot. He doesn’t seem to want to challenge himself with hard roles, but hopefully he will start doing that in the future. ^^ maybe?
He looks like a boy but he is not a boy ..he sure looks so much younger than his age…such a sweet smile he has.
actually i love the kkot minam (pretty boy) photo at the top. he manages to look sultry, not just “pretty.” much preferable to the cutesy look below it. (sorry, I’m a cat person!)
Damn. Damn.
Well, this is a nice welcome for my FREEDOM from finals. LOL.
not sure how i feel about those flowers and all in the first picture but my gosh is he freakin adorable in the second picture!! and those adorable puppies!! they sure know how to make girls swoon!
So is this the new trend? Pretty boys with flowers and puppies.
I can’t tell what gender from the first picture.
Puppies! Yellow Lab Puppies! ::dies of cute::
Oh…there’s a kid there, eh? Look PUPPIES!!!
The flowers in the hat makes him look gay!
@ momosan
Totally my reaction! The puppies are so CUTE that the boy is an afterthought.
I love his smile! And the puppies are sooo cute!
Don’t know if I’m wrong, but I thought that Jung Da-young was cast for SungKyunKwan Scandal and not Seo Hyo-rim?!
Bishōnen and dogs! *o , o*
You had me at… ruff! ^ , ^
I saw the first photo, and said “WT~~~”
I second @paula253 – I’m a cat person myself and much prefer him all sultry in the first pic. I don’t mind the wreath thing on his arm, but dude lose the hat.
He’s so etherealy gorgeous and glowy, I can just gaze at him for ages! (Creepy! Haha!)
Aren’t he and Seo Hye-rim hosts of KBS Music Bank?
OMG! Puppies! Pupps! Cutie pies!
@pabo ceo reom yea they are! they are adorabe together. i love song joong ki, ever since triple, even though i never finished it i just kinda skipped to his parts ;]
I had to go whhaa? at the first picture too…
Cute boys and puppies, argh!!! I was stunned for a full minute trying to gauge which is the cuter one, and settled for the puppy being flattened at the bottom…
Heart is 2 looks like a movie I would watch!!! Please be nothing like Marley and Me…
I’m totally under this guy’s spell…ever since Triple, I’ve been hooked, line and sinker. Just so much potential! OBGYN was a great addition to his repertoire – hoping to see great things from him. Go Joong Ki!
he’s sooo cute…… i like him the most in WILL IT SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS as Han Ji Yong. he is so sweet there…. ^.^
