Song Joong Ki made a heartwarming appearance on JTBC’s Please Take Care of My Refrigerator Season 2, marking his first variety show appearance in a decade alongside his Bogota: City of the Lost co-star Lee Hee Jun.
The Korean superstar, who last graced variety television as a regular cast member on Running Man, expressed his desire to meet Chef Kwon Seong Joon, aka Napoli Matfia, from Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars. “I wanted to meet everyone here, but if I had to pick one person, I really wanted to meet Chef Kwon,” Song Joong Ki shared. “My wife has lived in Italy her whole life, and now I spend half the year in Italy, so I’ve become quite immersed in Italian cuisine.”
The conversation took an entertaining turn when host Kim Sung Joo brought up Song’s famous wrap party in Bogota. “There will never be another party that tops that one,” Song admitted with a smile. He went on to describe the epic gathering that brought together 100 Colombian staff members and 70 Korean crew members during a challenging period of filming.
“I figured I needed to let loose as the MC for everyone to have fun,” the actor recalled, drawing from his two-year experience as a Music Bank host. “We rented a Korean restaurant in Colombia to help everyone bond. I was supposed to just MC, but then one Korean staff member sang a song, and suddenly one of the Colombian staff started dancing salsa.” The party reached new heights when Lee Hee Jun, who had been taking salsa lessons, joined in the impromptu dance session.
Song Joong Ki and Lee Hee Jun both shared sweet details about their married lives during the show. When Lee revealed the marriage vows displayed on his refrigerator and his adorable nickname “Yeobongbong” (meaning “honeybee”) for model wife Lee Hye Jung, Song couldn’t help but share his own story. “My wife chose our pet name,” Song said with a smile. “My wife chose it. We call each other ‘yeobo.’ When she first heard the Korean word ‘yeobo’ (meaning ‘honey’), she thought it was so beautiful that she wanted it to be our special name for each other.”
