On June 18(local time), Chinese media outlets such as 8world reported extensively on the sighting and photos of Song Joong-ki that had spread widely on China’s Instagram equivalent, XiaoHongShu.
The post, originally uploaded on the 16th, showed Song Joong-ki enjoying a walk with Katy Louise Saunders. Notably, Song Joong-ki attracted attention as a typical dad pushing a stroller despite the heat, far removed from his glamorous image as a Hallyu star. The photo was taken around Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
The poster wrote, “The street was quiet, but suddenly I heard a baby crying. I turned around a few times and saw that it was Song Joong-ki’s family. I even made eye contact with Song Joong-ki. Their pet dog was also with them.” The poster continued, “Song Joong-ki’s son looked like a mixed-race baby, and you could see his chubby little foot sticking out of the stroller, which was quite cute.”
The Song Joong-ki family was also spotted at a park last May. At that time, Song Joong-ki kindly greeted enthusiastic fans but politely requested, “Please don’t take pictures of my son.”
Chinese media detailed the items used by Song Joong-ki’s family, reflecting his high status. The stroller that Song Joong-ki energetically pushed is a premium German brand, known as a “luxury stroller”. This model sells for approximately 1.65 million Korean won (approx 1,200 USD) on the official website.
In contrast, Song Joong-ki and Katy Louise Saunders were dressed modestly. Katy Louise Saunders wore a dress from an SPA brand, with foreign media noting that “the entire outfit costs only around 200,000 KRW (approx 114 USD).” Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki also wore a baseball cap and casual sneakers, appearing unadorned.
