Song Joong Ki wants to visit supermarkets in the Philippines
Song Joong Ki has a surprising spot in mind for his next trip to the Philippines.
At the press conference ahead of his first fan meeting in Manila on Saturday, the actor said that aside from going to island destinations for vacations, he hopes to visit local supermarkets in the country.
'I want to visit the supermarket and buy a lot of, you know, local biscuits as well and bring it to Korea,' he said.
Song Joong Ki added he prefers going around like a local when traveling to other countries as well.
'The places that the Filipino locals really go on a daily basis, those are the places that [I want] to look around,' he said. 'Public market, the market, the local restaurants, the vibes to feel that I'm in the local places.'
Unfortunately, the actor is leaving the country tomorrow, Sunday, so he is unable to check off his Philippine bucket list.
'Due to the short period of time that I have here in the Philippines, I won't be able to make that plan work. But the next time I come back to the Philippines, I really want to pursue that kind of schedule, [that] tour schedule for [the next] visit in Manila,' the Hallyu icon said.
Song Joong Ki is best known for his roles in 'Vincenzo,' 'Reborn Rich,' 'Werewolf Boy,' and 'Space Sweepers,' among many others.
Previously, he had a cameo appearance in the hit series "Queen of Tears" as Vincenzo. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

JoJo Siwa's mom posts about Chris Hughes joining the Siwa family's game night
Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa are slowly opening up about their relationship on social media, and JoJo Siwa's mom are joining them. On Instagram Stories Sunday, Jessalynn Siwa shared a video of the former "Celebrity Big Brother UK" stars enjoying game night in the Siwa family home. The two looked so comfortable on the couch, being all smiley and touchy with each other. At one point, Chris leaned toward JoJo, who then kissed him on the end. "Game Night," Jessalynn Siwa wrote as she tagged the celebrities, which Christ reposted. Jessalynn followed it up with a photo of Chris and JoJo from across a restaurant table. Chris' next story? A photo of his clean plate from a restaurant. The posts come at the heels of Chris' now-expired Instagram Stories post of himself kissing JoJo on the forehead while they were in bed. "Sleepinnnn beauty," he captioned it. According to E! News, "Chris and the 22-year-old first sparked romance rumors after they were shown bonding on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April, during which they were also shown lying in bed together." On the reality show, JoJo revealed she was queer after previously identifying as a lesbian. Chris Hughes figured quite heavily in JoJo's carousel post on Instagram back in May, where she said her "birthday week was more magical than anything." "Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries," JoJo said, adding it was "a week I'll remember for the rest of my life." In the same week, JoJo figured heavily in Chris' Instagram carousel that same week, which he described as having "been the prettiest." — LA, GMA Integrated News
