Have you ever been so captivated by an onscreen couple that you wished that they were also a real life couple? Well it's certainly no secret that's how I feel about Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki. The Descendants of the Sun costars were the talk of the town at last week's prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards which recognizes outstanding achievements in the South Korean entertainment industry. There were tons of headlines declaring that the Song Song couple's red carpet appearance together looked like their wedding which it kind of did. Dispatch (Korea's version of TMZ) even reignited their dating rumors by calling them the "best couple ever!" in this Instagram post (the way he is looking at her!) They're totally shipping them.

Song Hye Kyo actually was wearing a dreamy strapless white gown from the Spring 2013 bridal collection of Angel Sanchez and she looked absolutely stunning. Song Joong Ki was no less attractive in head to toe Saint Laurent. These two captured everyone's attention as soon as they emerged from their vehicle and made their way down the red carpet. I watched a good deal of the coverage and Hye Kyo appeared tentative about taking Joong Ki's hand at first but he was more concerned that she was able to walk properly between her sky high heels and voluminous gown. It was really sweet how he attentively escorted her and tried to get her to hold onto him for support when she needed it. He also did that when they got up to accept their awards. What a gentleman! And this wasn't the first time he has totally acted more like a boyfriend than a friend.

The Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki dating rumors began when they were spotted supposedly holding hands and shopping for groceries together in New York prior to the broadcast of Descendants of the Sun. Interestingly their agencies admitted that they both happened to be in NYC at the same time and had met up for a meal with other people present. And the deflection continued whenever they were questioned about this however neither one of them has ever flat out denied the rumor which I why I believe that they are dating. I'm also not blind to their body language which has been quite telling from the way they behaved at their Hong Kong press conference to this Baeksang awards appearance. With the stigma of costars dating in the Asian entertainment world and the fact that both of them are intensely private, they probably won't admit anything until they're ready to tie the knot. And Joong Ki himself has said that he wouldn't reveal if even if he was dating unless he was caught. They're definitely close friends if nothing more but my feeling is that it's more. Kim Min Suk, the actor who played private Kim Ki Bum in Descendants of the Sun described them as best friends when asked about their relationship in a recent interview.

Descendants of the Sun picked up the Top Excellence (Daesang) Award for a TV Drama and the Song Song couple jointly won the Global Star Choice Award, the iQiyi Hallyu Popularity Award and the Korea Popularity Award. Joong Ki lost out to Yoo Ah In (Six Flying Dragons) in the male television acting category and their mutual friend couldn't resist cheekily pointing out that he was sitting with the #SongSongcouple during his speech. Kim Hye Soo took home the female acting award for Signal and while Hye Kyo was applauding, Joong Ki sweetly grabbed her hand to comfort her. What's lovely is that he probably didn't know that the camera would be on them at that moment or maybe he did and he didn't care. Anyway these two do not act like most Asian costars and their real life chemistry is even better than their onscreen chemistry.

I understand that shipping is not for everyone and you may not see anything here but please refrain from making comments that she is too old for him (it's just 4 years) or that they're doing this for publicity (they don't need it!) because it's both ignorant and insulting and it also proves you don't know anything about these two. Not to say that I'm an expert but come on, they way they look at each other here is everything! Earlier this week, Song Hye Kyo was announced as the special guest at Song Joong Ki's Chengdu fan meet on June 17 in response to the request of many fans. Considering how he always finds a way to talk about her in his fan meets, she may as well be there. I look forward to seeing what comes out of that. They really are such a beautiful couple and I've compiled some of my favorite moments from the BAA festivities here. There were so many!

They look beautiful together and such a stunning dress. I don't think 4 years is much of an age difference at all.

Ivana Split said...

I hope they're a real couple too! I would probably never know about them if it wasn't for you, but throught your posts I got sort of attached to them, even googled the mister...and I usually don't care about celebs at all....Yet now I'm hoping they'll stay together! I loved your analysis of their body language. I studied body language at the University and I must say I agree with your conclusions. From what I've seen in this post, they're a couple for real!


4 years difference? Pfff! That's not an age difference at all. My husband is more than 20 years my senior:). I know many couples who have a significant age difference (cases where women is 15 senior or vice verse) and they're all happily married so that doesn't mean anything.

I don't know nothing about them but I can clearly see that there is something between them. Not in his gestures, but their smiles talk a lot. I think they are both excited of each other presence and this is quite evident. She is 4 years older than him? So what? I am not really a fan of stereotypes, so that isn't a problem for me in any way. Happy Friday Rowena!xo

A woman knows when a woman knows. I am totally with you, Rowena! There is definitely something there *_^ Can't seem to get enough of them as they look so good together, right?

My jaw just dropped when I saw the clip of them coming out from their car and walking the red carpet, she was so pretty in that gown! I am sooooooo in love with that dress! She looked impeccable, seriously! and I wouldn't mind if my BF looks as dashing as him too, if I were her.

I did't catch the whole award show and therefore didn't get a chance to see him grabbing her hand though... now you are making me really curious already, Rowena.

Such is life of a celebrity, I am so happy for them, no matter what. These days, not easy to be scrutinised in public and all, and being a celebrity in Korea, I feel. So much pressure for them to perform and to be in tip top condition, all the time. It is nice to see that they still remain humble, despite their hugely crazy popularity, globally.

Guess what? I will be pinning away from your post now! haha

Thanks for always keeping me updated on the Korean front, my friend!

Love,

Emmylou said...

I still can't get over how beautiful they both looked...just straight out of a fairy tale....sigh....And they seriously look so right for each other. Joong Ki, just from what I've seen and heard, is so smitten... you can tell:) Can't help but squeeeeeeee!
And 4 years is a big deal?!?! Argh! First of all, she looks so young, and why should age even be an issue?!?! I've been reading a lot of Korean news and such lately, and man...the press/netizens there can be just as brutal there as anywhere else when it comes to celebs:(
Anyway, thanks for this awesome post, Rowena:) Bookmarked! hehe

Lilli said...

I wish the same Rowena! They would be an amazing and perfect couple, the way they look each other is priceless! And she is truly stunning with that gown! Happy weekend dear! xo

Kim said...

Their chemistry is amaaaazing! She look stunning in that dress but I can't help but wonder if they intentionally went with a wedding-esque look for the awards ;)

They look so beautiful especially Song Hye Kyo! When I saw them walking down the BAA red carpet, I thought I was watching The Oscars!

Rowena, you are totally the reason I have been intrigued by this show (I still have to see it!)
Their chemistry is undeniable and hey, let them be private if that's their choice. The rest of us can just dream a little and appreciate the smiles!
