However, as soon as the good news arrived, Song Joong Ki faced a lot of criticism related to an interview he did not long ago, talking about his family life.
According to Koreaboo, the actor of “Descendants of the Sun” gave an interview to Chinese media. In it, he was asked about balancing his time between work and family. At the time of the interview, Song Joong Ki’s wife was pregnant.
In an incomplete video interview that went viral on social media, the actor said he couldn't avoid losing roles after officially becoming a father.
“Sometimes, being a father and a husband means losing a job in this field. Marrying a woman, having children and becoming a father, in the art business it will be inevitable that I will have less and less work,” Song Joong Ki shared.
Song Joong Ki announced that he has welcomed his first child.
His statement quickly received mixed reactions. Many people believe that male actors are not affected as much as their female colleagues after marriage.
In the Korean entertainment industry, actresses even lose their roles and popularity after marriage. Song Joong Ki's comments were criticized for being insensitive to the fact that many women have difficulty working after getting married.
Many malicious comments even claimed that Song Joong Ki was not the one who gave birth to the child. Pregnant women and those who give birth have to endure physical pain during and after pregnancy.
Family prep work
However, in the full interview that was released, Song Joong Ki's sharing showed his concern for his family.
According to the actor, not all male actors lost their roles, but each person had different effects, depending on the case. However, he himself was not afraid and did not care.
Recently, the actor has rarely acted in romantic movies.
“For me, family is much more important than work. But I love my job, and will always try my best for myself and my family. I can become a good actor, then I can become a person as a father, a husband and a son,” Song Joong Ki affirmed.
However, many people still think that the actor's statement is too careless. "Even if his fans decrease, his work will not be affected", "After all, Song Joong Ki is an actor who has played many romantic genres. The roles in this genre have decreased after he got married. Maybe that's why he said that"...
Song Joong Ki was born in 1985, famous for many films such as "The Good Guy", "A Werewolf Boy", "Descendants of the Sun", "Vincenzo"... Before marrying British beauty Katy Louise Saunders, the actor went through a broken marriage with Song Hye Kyo. The couple got married in 2017 and officially divorced in 2019.
