Song Joong Ki Surprises Labelmates With His Revelation
History D&C gathered its artists Han Jee Won, Jeong Jae Kwang, Geum Sae Rok, Go Bo Gyeol, and "Vincenzo" co-stars Yang Kyung Won and Im Chul Soo for a new YouTube video, "The first scene of my life."
Each of them shared their own stories. When it was Song Joong Ki's turn, he revealed for the first time the miserable experience he had on the set of a drama when he was still a nobody in the industry.
He started by playing extra roles. The "Space Sweepers" lead star confessed that one of his college seniors wanted to help him gain professional experience in the acting field.
Song Joong Ki was given a role with one complete line in the series "Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung" in 2007, where he appeared as a reporter.
The actor continued his story by sharing that when he finally arrived at the filming set of the drama, veteran actor Sung Dong Il was right in front of him. But instead of being nervous, Song Joong Ki was excited to work on the project.
While being amazed filming the drama, the award-winning actor encountered unexpected things, which made him realize the sad truth of drama shooting.
The "Descendants of the Sun" actor revealed:
"I was cast to play the role of Reporter 3 and the artists cast for Reporters 1 and 2 dragged me to the corner and asked me how I got the role? I didn't know why they were asking that, but I realized later on that the competition in the industry is fierce."

"It felt relieving when I finally said a line. It was a minor role but it takes a big part of my memory."
THIS 'Vincenzo' Actress Made Song Joong Ki Emotional
Afterward, the actor looked back on his 2021 popular legal K-drama "Vincenzo" and named the actress and her character that made him emotional.
To begin with, he mentioned that there was a scene where his character Vincenzo Cassano went straight to work the day after his mother died, and the Geumga plaza squad was waiting for him.
Song Joong Ki shared:
"Actors in that scene have the same sentiment, but I still remember what Seo Ye Hwa's character Jang Yeon Jin said. 'I am pregnant, and there's a baby inside me. But I can still fight, so tell me if you need help.'"
The "Arthdal Chronicles" star said Ye Hwa's line impacted him because it came from a pregnant character. He added that after that scene, he felt emotional and appreciated the actress' effort of expressing her emotions.
