Song Joong Ki, now a proud father of two, is making headlines—not for his latest project, but for a heartfelt act of kindness on the set of tvN’s Vincenzo.
In September, a netizen A shared a personal story of their encounter with Song Joong Ki on their blog. A, who worked as an extra, recounted a touching moment from the filming of the 2021 hit drama.
During the shoot, A was tasked with holding a bowl of braised chicken, a prop for a PPL (product placement) scene. However, the ceramic bowl was too hot to handle. “The prop food was shaking uncontrollably in my hands,” A recalled.
A quickly apologized to Song Joong Ki, but his response was unexpected. “Put that down now. Why are you apologizing? The person who made you hold something so hot should be the one apologizing,” Song told them. He then called out to the staff, saying, “They’re clearly struggling with this. Can’t something be done about it?”
Thanks to Song’s intervention, staff members wrapped the bowl in a towel and gave A oven mitts to wear. Despite this, A made a mistake by leaving the towel visible in the scene. Song Joong Ki quickly eased A’s worries, saying, “It’s fine. The towel design looks great. Let’s just keep it as part of the continuity. Don’t stress, it’s all good.”
A described the moment with adoration, playfully writing, “He’s light, love, a rainbow, and an angel. Since then, I’ve praised Song Joong Ki everywhere I went. Though I haven’t had the chance to meet him on another project, I hope he’s doing well. And a special thanks to Jeon Yeo Been, who kindly told me to relax and enjoy the chicken after the shoot.”
The story has sparked a wave of admiration online, with fans sharing their thoughts: “Song Joong Ki is such a stand-up guy,” “He faced so much hate after his divorce; it’s great to see stories like this,” and “He’s really down the earth. I once saw him return to take a picture with a kid after his security team tried to whisk him away.”
