Song Joong-ki took time out of his jam-packed schedule to go on a 2-night, 3-day summer camp with his fan club last weekend. Song attended the camp with 130 members of his fan club, Ki Aile, and the candid pictures are as expected—super cute.
Song’s buddy, comedic actor Kim Ki-bang (My Name is Kim Sam-soon, Will it Snow for Christmas?, Birth of the Rich) came to MC the event. It rained the entire weekend, so the camp got dubbed ‘Raining Camp,’ but it didn’t stop anyone from having a great time.
They ran the camp like a variety show, chock full of those indescribably hilarious Korean games that alternately make me squeal and stare agape. It’s an ingenious idea, not only because Song’s fanbase is probably pretty young, but because it makes him accessible in a way that a formal event couldn’t. He played games, quizzes, ran in a mini-olympics, served everyone food, and performed onstage as well. They also had a game where fans performed to see who could make him laugh the hardest. Aw.
He said, “We spent a lot of time preparing for this camp, and I was upset when it rained. But the fans were happy even as the rain started to fall, so I was glad. I’m thankful from the bottom of my heart. It was the best two days and three nights. Whether it’s in a drama, a movie, or a variety program, I want to show that I’m trying my very best.”
Song is currently filming his upcoming drama, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, as well as appearing as a host on Music Bank, and Lee Jae-suk’s Running Man.

So pretty.
Too pretty. But lucky fans. I wish I can spend camping with my oppas and ahjusshis.
I was thinking that too.. He’s PRETTY!
He’s so cute !! Resembles a girl sometimes but whatever ^^ This camp thing is surely a great idea. His fans must be the happiest fans in Korea right now ^^
Hahaha, I love that second to the last pic of sjk!! A most wonderful expression!
Same here! I love that expression. He’s so adorable!
Ooooh the preshness!!!!!!
I think I just died.
aww.
and i thought it was YOO Jae-suk?
It is Yoo Jae Suk…simple mistake. =)
And girlfriday, thanks for the pics. Cute.
I say Korean fans are one of the luckiest in the world! Have you EVER heard of any other actors from another country (don’t even think of the U.S.) that would even dare to do such a thing?
I mean Korea has fan meetings all the time, even the actor goes abroad.. but camping?! Heck I would pay an arm and leg to get an invite to Chris Pines’ fan camp!
Oh my, so presh. Why so adorable, Joongki? :3
I love those variety show games.. They’re so ridiculous.
That is just too cute. This man just radiates cuteness wherever he goes. I can’t take it.
awwww that has to be one of teh best things an actor has done for his fanclub….bt seriously this guy works like a machine..that’s 2 variety shows and a drama not mention all the other dramas i’ve seen him in just this past year…when does he take vacations?
lool i supose this camp would be like a vacation for him
He has feminine facial features. How old is he? Don’t boys get to a stage when their features turn masculine? I remember my son’s facial features became masculine when he turned 15. But some of these Korean boys keep their feminine features. I think it’s in the Korean DNA. I don’t mean this in a bad way. It’s just different.
He’s an 85-er ;D
He’s whatt?!? 85-er?!? I thought he’s younger….
Looks like it was a blast!
I’ve always envied fans that were able to go to fan meetings. At the same time, it seems that (mostly with actors) the fanmeetings can be quite boring as they appear so formal. Granted, I’ve never been to one so I could be quite wrong.
This being super less formal, it seemed like an event where fans can bond with their star on a personal level. True, not all fanmeetings can be like this.
Just imagine: 150 women near Kang Ji Hwan or Lee Byung Heon in super close proximity! There must be medical aid on standby 24/7 if you think of the heart-attacks, fainting, or tempted chest-touching women there could be!
That’s exactly why not all stars can do such fanmeeting. Especially if the fans are mostly ahjumas (me included
)
i so agree with you.. (another ahjumma
)
is this really candid? he looks too perfect!
i can’t believe this boy is my age, he looks so much younger than me *sad*
anyway good thing he did for his fans
Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of the fan club name, “Ki Aile”?
This event really is wonderfully unique. Lucky fans!
Man! This camp thing is a GREAT IDEA. Where do I sign up? …Blast, I’m not in Korea.
so cute!! he’s like one fluffy, fuzzy marshmallow that I wish I could squeeze and crush.. and eat! And love his Play cap, it makes him totally adorable!
*passes out from cute overload*
Ohmahn~~~ SO. CUTE.
He’s definitely got that boyish charm~
But I’m sure his fanbase covers them nunas too!
Good golly….I am too noona for him but if I was younger….I would totally be an overseas fan flying in for this
Even a retriever puppy looking at me is not as cute as him…..awww……
How is that guy so adorable? And brave… so many fans in close proximity.
Far too pretty. No boy should be running around in mud and rain for two days and still look beautiful. I miss the manly men…
god he’s pretty. i’m glad i don’t know guys this pretty. cos they’d be a lot cuter than i am. and i’d constantly just be like… what’s wrong with this picture? why can’t i look like that? .___.
Korean stars make Hollywood stars look self absorbed in their own lives. I am truly envious of modesty and humbleness these actors show to their fans.
this makes me love that guy that.MUCH.MOAR!
hehe how is he such an adorable little cherub?
If he was a cookie, i’d so eat him
kawaii ~~~
this first time i known the idol have fan camping on 2-night, 3-day..
he did a great thing to his fan among his busy schedule..
really lucky fans..
This must be a fan’s dream fan event!
I think not every star can do this. I think it means that he didn’t have lots of makeup on and he wore these simple outfits. I bet that not a lot of other guys (or girls) dare coming out before the crowd like Song did.
omg so lucky T W T </3
wish i was in korea!! D:
ahhhhh song joong ki is so cuuute
hopefully he’ll get to be a lead in a drama soon, he deserves to get a girl!
omg i waiting for the day that he does become a lead. he is getting so much experienced and doing well as a supporting actor. i love this kid! well, i should say oppa!~ (by one year…finally a current korean actor that i have a huge bias for.)
he’s ur oppa too? yay! im not alone being a ‘younger fan’ on this site, cuz u see i discovered kpop culture early
awww, he’s so cute! honestly i fell in love with poong-ho (triple character) first but kept my eye on him and lo and behold he MCs music bank..currently my only k-actor bias! ( i tend to stick 2 kpop music more than kdrams cuz its less tome-consuming, but equally addictive) and then came along running man, he’s so nice and smart on tht show teehee 
i am so waiting for SKK Scandal (unless the name changes..) nxt wk! yay! and i rly wish i was at thee fanmeet, it looks so fun 
wai is he so gorgeous ;_;
also that’s really sweet of him <3 (i guess things are only possible like this when the fanbase isn't mad crazy)
he is such a cutie!!!!!
cant really grasp the fact that he’s turning 25 yrs old already!
life can be really unfair sometimes!
but its so nice of him to do this for his fans!!!
hope other stars/actors can do the same.
He should be the first to start the trend of cross-dressing guys, going to girl schools because of their one true love XDDD He could pull it off!!!!
cuteness overloaded. haha.
aw so sweet! i’m officially a fan of his
Hot Hot Hot!
Can’t wait for Sungkyunkwan Scandal!
How adorably cute!!! I just hope no one got sick from the rain *knock on wood*.
CAMPING. wow.
He looks so adorable and pretty here.
I love this boy SO MUCH!!!
he’s so humble.
you can tell that he’s grateful to his fans…that even though he knew about the weather situation, he still took time to be with them.
that’s really sweet of him to do that.
just because of that…i’m his fan.
Can’t wait to see him as a playboy in SungKyunKwan Scandal!
Such a cutie-pie! Only 25? I have shoes older than that…dang me!
That’s so sweet that he cares about his fan base so much. Most actors wouldn’t risk it, especially since a lot of fans would probably try to mob them. It’s awesome that his fans are so loyal and just want to meet him on a personal level, and vice versa.
He’s so fresssssssssh, makes me so excited for his playboy character in SKKS
So adorable.
AHHH ADORABLE. Please marry me?
Aigooo~ so kyeopta ^_^
anyone knows his fanclub name?
damn it. how can anyone be drenched in sweat and rain, and still look darn pretty in candid? =p
but honestly, i’d look terrible. LOL
but awww… he looked like he’s having a jolly good time,
and he looked super duper cute too..
that’s great for his fans, i’m happy for them. but i’m still jealous. hmph! keke~
i’ve always loved seeing him as music bank mc,
but seeing him in sungkyunkwan, i was totally swept off my feet.
he looks so beautiful in sungkyunkwan, he practically shines. or maybe that’s just me, haha.
that’s where i truly noticed him, and starts paying more attention to him. isn’t he just the most adorable thing ever? *dreamy eyes*
yep, i’m now officially a fan. there. i said it. keke~
OMG i fall for his smile.Why he not active on his twitter? We fans should request for him to make his twitter active again :3 I wanna stalk him on Music Bank everytime!
Aaah Joong Ki-oppa!!! So cute! After seeing your picts from the net and ends up here i’m totally your fans, And i wish i could be one of those lucky fans that get to see you up close. And good luck for your new dramas
