During the press conference ahead of his first fan meet in Manila on Saturday, the Hallyu icon was asked by GMA News Online what role he had in K-Dramas does he think Filipinos love the most, and was shocked to learn that it was Vincenzo.
''Vincenzo?' Really? Wow. I think I have to call my writer of 'Vincenzo' and director. They should make a season two of 'Vincenzo,' I think. Wow, I had no idea about that.'
He added, 'So okay, I will call to my writer. He has to write a 'Vincenzo' Season 2. And shooting in Philippines, right?'
Song Joong Ki said that he too enjoyed portraying the title character.
'I love my 'Vincenzo' character so much, deeply,' he said. 'And I don't know why, because just when I shot 'Vincenzo' in Korea, I felt something like, [I] feel free. And I really enjoyed that.'
The actor added that the character having to kill others was an exciting trait, and that 'the comedy was very funny.'
Song Joong Ki also said that if he could switch lives with any of the characters he portrayed, it would be Vincenzo.
'I think that this would be the refreshing character that I want to try living in, the Vincenzo character,' he said.
Aside from 'Vincenzo,' Song Joong Ki is best known for his roles in 'Reborn Rich,' 'Werewolf Boy,' and 'Space Sweepers,' among many others.

Alexie Brooks opens up on relationship with girlfriend: ‘I'm grateful everyday na she's there to make me happy'
Alexie Brooks opened up about her relationship with her girlfriend, giving a glimpse into her personal life. In an interview with Boy Abunda in "Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda" on June 1, the Miss Eco International 2025 queen revealed that she's been in a relationship for almost a year now. Alexie gently corrected Tito Boy when he asked her how important 'this man' was to her concept of happiness. 'I'll change the 'man.' I'll rephrase. The woman,' the beauty queen said. So Tito Boy asked her again, 'How important is that woman to your concept of happiness?' 'Very important, Tito. I realized it when my grandma passed away and she was there. And that was the first time that I caught myself down on the floor. And she helped me get out of the floor. I didn't eat for a few days, she didn't eat for a few days,' Alexie said. She added that during that time, her girlfriend made sure that she was OK. 'I think that tells so much about how much she cares for me, how much she loves me. I'm grateful everyday na she's there to make me happy and supporting me in the dreams that I want,' Alexie said. Alexie had always been vocal about her androgynous identity and how she embraces fluidity in both style and relationships. 'And I feel like it's better if you don't put yourself a limit into what you can, you know, expression mo sa sarili mo. And it's so much better. I'm happier. I'm comfortable and I feel confident and I don't think—there's nothing wrong with that,' she said. Alexie was crowned Miss Eco International 2025 last April at the Hilton Green Plaza in Alexandria, Egypt. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Red Sternberg was planning to return to the Philippines for a highly anticipated 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project, his co-stars revealed. In Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Michael Flores, Bobby Andrews, and Angelu de Leon honored and remembered the late actor. 'Plano niyang bumalik dito. Plano nga niyang mag-artista ulit eh. Gusto nga niyang mag-artista daw ulit eh,' Michael said. According to Michael, Red even sought advice from him and Bobby on who to approach regarding management for his return to acting. ''Pag naging OK baka mag-stay muna sila dito for a while kung OK 'yung magiging outcome. And then, 'yun nga, mag-ce-celebrate pa kami ng 30 years namin. Anniversary ng 'T.G.I.S.' So talagang sobrang excited siya to the point na nag-workout siya, nag-diet siya,' Michael said. He also revealed that a 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project had already been planned. 'Kaya masakit nga eh. Kasi nga 'yung pag-uwi niya rito, meron talaga kaming pinaplanong reunion project. Hindi pa namin puwedeng sabihin in details pero meron na talaga. Kasi matagal na 'yan eh,' Michael said, acknowledging their fans' constant requests. Bobby added, 'Ayos na lahat ng logistics, lahat ng ano, everything. And that was the reason why he was so excited to come home.' When asked what they realized following Red's passing, Angelu said that 'time is fleeting. And you really don't know what will happen tomorrow.' For Bobby, Red's passing is a 'wake up call,' noting that they're not that young anymore, so they must value the time they have left. Michael remembered that life is indeed not short and nothing is permanent. 'Sabi nga nila, 'di ba, hiram lang naman 'tong buhay natin eh,' he said. Red passed away on May 27 at 50 years old, three days before his birthday on May 30. His wife, Sandy Sternberg, said that he died due to a heart attack, according to "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" on Friday. The 'T.G.I.S.' barkada mourned Red's passing with social media posts and messages. "T.G.I.S." was a popular youth-oriented afternoon weekly show that ran on GMA Network. It premiered on August 12, 1995 and had more than 200 episodes, plus a spin-off film "T.G.I.S.: The Movie" that premiered in 1997. The show is set to mark its 30th anniversary this year. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
