Song Joong-ki met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and said, "I hugged my daughter for the first time when she was born, and it felt different from when I hugged my son."As a father and an actor, my sense of responsibility grew even more."
Song Joong-ki perfectly digested the Spanish lines in the film 'Bogota: Land of Last Chance' (hereinafter 'Bogota'). He said "It was so much fun while learning Spanish. A friend who was five years younger than me taught me during the production, and she was born in Korea and lived in Colombia for a long time since she was a baby. "The unique Spanish rhythm matched me well, and I am still studying little by little. As I kept studying, I got interested and became greedy. Even on days when there was no filming in Bogota, I tried to get something more from local staff and local people. He also said, "I'm using Spanish with my wife naturally at home."
In addition, Song Joong-ki married British actor Katie Louise Sounders in January last year and had her first child. Recently, many people congratulated him for the news of the birth of his second daughter. In response, he said "When I first knew my daughter when she was born, she was different from a boy. Even though he was a newborn, he held the difference in his arms. I can't forget the feeling. The child is growing up healthy now, and his wife is recovering well after giving birth. My wife hasn't seen 'Bogota' yet, so I'm going to watch it later after recovering. I'm doing a movie promotion schedule these days, and I'm filming 'My Youth' with Chun Woo-hee. Thankfully, my wife is giving me so much support. As the child was born, the sense of responsibility as a father and an actor grew."
Released on the 31st, 'Bogota' is a story about Kook-hee (Song Joong-ki) heading to Bogota, Colombia, on the other side of the world, immediately after the IMF, becoming entangled with Sooyoung (Lee Hee-joon) and Byeong-jang Park (Kwon Hae-hyo), influential figures in the Korean community in Bogota. Director Kim Sung-je of the movie 『Minority Opinion』 took the megaphone. Song Joong-ki plays Kook-hee, a young man who dreams of the lowest to the highest.
