He smiled and continued, “Thank you for inviting me”, adding “It’s so touching to see many people gather together with one love for K-pop. I can feel the potential of K-pop even more”.

When Vice Chairman Hong Jeong Do asked if he realizes his popularity, Song Joong Ki said, “I recently finished ‘Reborn Rich’ with good results. Every time I hear not only Asian fans but also viewers around the world say they enjoy my work, I can deeply feel their love for K-dramas”, arousing enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Earlier on the 26th of last month, Song Joong Ki confirmed his romantic relationship with a British woman. At that time, his agency HighZium Studio released a position, saying “The actor is dating a woman with good feelings. Please show a warm look at the couple”.
