Song Joong-ki has steadily been stealing hearts and taking names. Or you could call it building a fanbase and a solid resume. But something tells me once he takes to the screens as Sungkyunkwan Scandal‘s resident playboy, things are about to get downright crazy.
Song Joong-ki has gained notoriety chiefly from his “flower pretty boy” image, to which his reaction is always bashful and awkward. He is humbled and grateful for the attention, even if he doesn’t really know how to live up to the moniker. Song: “I can’t overlook being noticed because of my appearance, but I would like someday to be known for my acting.”
The 24-year old actor looks barely old enough to shave, which would explain the roles he continues to get. He recently got some advice from sunbae Cha Tae-hyun, who told him, “I played high school students well past the age of 30.” Song now worries less about the distance between his age and his characters’, and his ability to play younger.
His most recent role is the lead in the film Heart Is 2, which he actually worried about because he used to be afraid of dogs. “But after working on the film, I even considered getting a dog as a pet,” he said, laughing.
When asked about his love life, he said he’s too busy to have a girlfriend: “Because of my daily schedule…” he laughed. Song may project a lively image, but he’s definitely got a quiet internal side too, which is probably more surprising to people who are fooled by his deceptively youthful appearance.
I’m excited for Sungkyunkwan despite its potential to be a hot mess. Or maybe that’s why I’m excited. Either way, Song Joong-ki will be the best actor on the roll call, and I can’t wait to see his turn as a player. Kim Bum, eat your heart out.
Song can be seen hosting KBS2′s Music Bank, as well as other variety shows, in addition to promoting his film and shooting the drama. KBS’s Sungkyunkwan Scandal is slated to air in September.
Sheesh. No rest for the beautiful and upwardly mobile.

He seems like the a gentlement by the way he acts and treat others.
Good luck to him!
And I am looking forward for his new projects
Side note: He’s cute but he needs to eat some more thought ^^;;
AHH
‘I LOVE YOU
SAW HIS PICTURE AND MADE MY DAY
PURE LOVE.
Everytime I look at him I have to remind myself that he is 24. I cannot believe that.
I just saw the first picture and I immediately thought he was being drafted into the army early and my heart fell.
Glad to hear we’ll get to see him for a lot longer.
He is so gorgeous!
He’s got ‘It’.
He is just tooooooooo pretty for words!
I don’t why, every time I look at him, he always reminds me Onew. hhee .. they just look similar. hhoo. Good Luck for him!! Can’t wait for his project,
woot~~
he is soo pretty ^^ ahah the new era of ggotminam’s
i hope he doesn’t wear himself out cuz of all the work…
oppa hwaiting
i am kinda worried since he was added as a member to yoo jaesuk’s new show..
well he stole my heart. he’s gorgeous and a great actor. and he’s good at being the highlight of messy dramas. cough TRIPLE. cough WISFC.
i love you
I like the first pic. Looks like he’s going to an audition for Reservoir Dogs.
kimi wa petto for him?
He’s so adorable.
SHO CUTE.
ohhhhh songjoongki. i first saw him on Let’s Go! Dream Team when the group travelled to Vancouver. my cute guy radar went on overdrive mode hehe. i kept forgetting his name after that.. but now it’s firmly etched in my brain.
looking forward to seeing more of him in dramas
he’s too adorable for words.
(though Kim Bum is still at the top of my radar!)
@ 1: totally agree with you about the second picture!
First time I saw him was in the Saturday-Sunday family drama on KBS World, where he played the third son who seek his mother, contrast with his siblings who didn’t want to see their mother. He played the character soo good, that I thought this man will become famous after the drama ended. And he sure is…
But, what I like about him from my observation is that he didn’t recklessly take any offer, instead he choose the project that will show his capability and to become a better actor. I think that probably is combination of his will and good management company, I guess…
Anyway, good luck for him and his endeavor in becoming a good or best actor in Korea.
nicely put, kim bum, eat your heart out!
ugh just looking at him, with a little tweak to his cutesy, nice-guy, boy-next-door image, he could’ve been a lead to Itazura. i cant believe im still mourning over the fact that an idol star was casted…
OMG he really looks so much like SHINee’s Onew. They’re both gorgeous. It’s the bone structure and that charming smile.
i’ve been a fan ever since i saw him in Triple
really happy that he’s getting more recognized! with all his upcoming projects, i have no doubt he’ll get even more famous soon!!
*melts into a puddle of slush* *gurgle gurgle*
new boy crush! this boy stole my heart in Triple. He’s pretty, but not creepily so like Kim Hye-sung
He could pass for Lee Jun-ki’s baby bro
Such a cutie/hottie 
wow his resemblance to lee junki is insane ..
#17: That’s right, he’d be perfect for Kimi Wa Petto! ^^
hahaha..kim bum eat your heart out…seriously!
goodluck ^^
He is so hot
I have not watch any of his dramas but I am going to start doing so 
KEKEKEKE so excited
what a pretty boy….
he’s my age??
man. i feel untalented.
Another pretty boy but talented .i wonder if all K pretty boys going under knife ,all
kinds of cosmetic touch or they just pretty naturally ?
There are a lot of rumor regarding K celebrities and cosmetic works , It seems to me K plastic surgeons doing very good jobs , they looks so natural . I see many
people having some works done but most of them look unnatural , like species
from different planets .
i like him, he was on Dream Team Season 2, and he seemed like a nice kid. he is also on the new variety show Running Man. can’t wait for this drama.
Oooohhh….I think I fell in love with him in Will It Snow for Christmas…
His character was so full of life, charm, cheerfulness and light that when it was killed off, I was heartbroken…
I wanted to continue seeing his adorable appeal in the drama and they killed him off…
I am looking forward to his next drama.
I would have to agree with girlfriday that he could be very well be the next Big Thing…
AGREED.
He’s so young looking!! I really can’t wait to see him in take that playboy role l in Sept. Kim Bum, you are ~adorable~ and I love you, but you’ve got competition. Kekeke
In the 2nd picture he looks like Go Mi Nam!
I’ve seen his personality on Dream Team: 2, and he definitely has the naughty side in him. He already proved that he’s a good up and coming actor, but I wonder if he will be seen stealer when he appears in his new drama.
Hot mess! I would tune in
oh song joong-ki!! i am totally a fan of yours. and i do prefer him then kim bum. there just seems to be some sort of underlying quirky quality with sjk that draws me!
OMG I go into full-drool-and-spasm mode everytime he comes on TV!!!! Though he does get annoying sometimes on MuBank with his constant exclamations of WOW! at the end of E.V.E.R.Y. sentence but who cares when you’re that adorable, right?? WTF does he eat he does not look 25.
He’s a decent actor with potential to be great….hope he gets offered leading roles in dramas soon! We never get Korean movies here, so I’ll have to wait till Heart Is 2 comes out in DVD — and even then I will have to scavenge around town for it.
why can’t anyone remember him for acting in the superb drama ‘OBGYN’ as the young & cute urgeon who fell in love with the equally young & emotive nurse
My 15 year old cried her eyes out when Oppa died in WISFC. He payed such a sweet character in it. After that she refused to watch any more of the drama.
OMG SO EXCITED XD <3
he's so adorable. love him <3 hope he gets a lot more popularity <3
hahah he already is considered a playboy in dream team
lol ‘ero joongki’ ^^
loves him
@ Kpop7.com
he looks more like onew from SHINee than lee junki….
Aw. Adorable. I am really glad that he is doing well. He deserves it.
