Song Joong Ki's marriage to Katy Louise Saunders caused distance from friends? Yoo Jae Suk reveals 'awkward' status
During their candid conversation, Yoo opened up about his friendship with actor Song Joong Ki. He reveals that the two have lost touch over time, especially after the actor's remarriage and transition into family life.
Nostalgia brings up Song Joong Ki
While reminiscing about their shared entertainment history, Yoo brought up how Lee Hyori had been the very first guest on Running Man. This sparked a memory for Hyori, who recalled getting closer to Song Joong Ki around the same period.
As quoted by Kbizoom, 'We got close around that time,' she said fondly. 'He even appeared on my husband's radio show afterward. He's very warm and friendly.' Clearly fond of the actor, Hyori asked if Song Joong Ki had ever guested on Pinggyego.
When Yoo Jae Suk responded that he hadn't, she immediately laughed and said, 'He needs to come on!' Yoo then looked directly into the camera with a grin and said, 'Joong Ki, you heard that, right? Hyori noona is calling you out.' But as the moment lingered, Yoo's smile faded slightly as he got a little more serious.
Feels 'awkward' now
Yoo Jae Suk went on to admit that he and Song Joong Ki used to stay in touch now and then. However, things changed once Joong Ki entered a new chapter in his life. 'But ever since he got married and everything, it feels too awkward to reach out,' Yoo confessed.
He continued, explaining that he assumes the actor's life is very full at the moment, especially since he's now raising children. Yoo expressed that he didn't want to disturb him during what's clearly a busy and private time in his life.
A new chapter for Song Joong Ki
The conversation brought fans back to Song Joong Ki's personal journey. In January 2023, the actor announced his marriage to Katy Louise Saunders, a British actress. The couple has since welcomed two children: a son and a daughter.
Since tying the knot, Song Joong Ki has largely stepped back from public events and media appearances. He and his wife have opted for a quieter lifestyle in Italy, away from the spotlight. Still, he hasn't paused his acting career and remains involved in new roles.

‘Kohinoor Ka Badla Le Liya': Indian Visitor Drops Rs 10 In British Museum Donation Box
Last Updated: A video shared by a visitor went viral after someone from India had put Rs 10 in the British Museum's donation box. 'The journey from Stealing to Begging,' a comment read. The British Museum is famous for displaying treasures from many countries, but it also faces criticism for holding items taken from other nations long ago. One of its most controversial exhibits is India's Kohinoor diamond, which has stayed in the museum for many years despite ongoing debates about its ownership. The museum, located in London and free to visitors, recently faced new criticism for asking people to donate money. A video shared by a desi visitor went viral for a hilarious reason as someone from India had put just Rs 10 in the donation box, which is less than one British pound. In the video, the visitor shows the donation box with the text, 'Welcome to the British Museum. Suggested donation £5. Every & helps the Museum's work." As the camera gets closer, a Rs 10 note can clearly be seen inside, which grabbed a lot of attention online and left many people laughing. Many are mocking the museum for asking for more money, even though it already holds many valuable things that were stolen in the past. Taking to Instagram, the individual wrote, 'Core memory created. Kisine kohinoor ka badla le liya guys. (Someone finally took Kohinoor's revenge)." Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'Stole things from the whole world and on top of that, asked for donations? Just British people can do it." Another asked, 'So now they've stopped stealing and started asking nicely?" 'The journey from Stealing to Begging," a comment read. An individual stated, 'Whoever dropped that in the donation box is a legend." Another jokingly mentioned, 'Someone dropped it on purpose." One more added, 'So now they owe us 45 Trillion and 10 rupees." The British Museum and the UK government have never clearly said anything about giving the Kohinoor diamond back to India. But earlier this year, Lisa Nandy, who is in charge of culture, media, and sports in the UK, spoke to ANI news agency and said that both the UK and India have been having talks for some time now. The focus of these talks is on how both countries can work together and share cultural items from the past. Nandy also mentioned that she has spoken about this with her Indian counterpart. view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 12:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
