Fans are eager to learn more about his lady love and how their romance came to be. Here’s what we have gathered so far and will shed light on their long distance dating.

Song Joong Ki’s agency confirms dating news

After earlier reports about the South Korean actor having a new girlfriend were released, his agency HighZium Studio released a statement confirming that the actor is now off the market, much to the delight of his fans.

“Actor Song Joong Ki is currently seeing a woman with good feelings. We hope that you can support their relationship. We ask for your understanding that information other than the fact that they are in a relationship cannot be confirmed. Please refrain from writing any unconfirmed or speculative reports.”

Who is Song Joong Ki’s girlfriend?

According to Korean media reports, it was noted that the woman is a non-celebrity British who has been seen alongside the actor recently as they became more open about the relationship. The two were said to have been dating for over a year now after being introduced through a mutual friend last year. Reportedly, Song Joong Ki’s girlfriend accompanied the actor to the media conference held for his latest show ‘Reborn Rich’ in Singapore on December 7. He is also known to have introduced her to the staff members of the K-drama.

Katy Louise Saunders’ involvement

While it was reported that the girlfriend in question is a non-celebrity woman, netizens were quick to search for her identity. They checked back on Song Joong Ki’s acceptance speech on winning the Daesang at this year’s APAN Star awards for his role in ‘Vincenzo’. While thanking the team of the K-drama, he also mentioned Katy, Nalla, Maya, Antes. Nalla is Song Joong Ki’s pet dog while the other two seem to be actress Katy’s pets, according to a post made by her on Facebook years ago. The South Korean actor’s agency denied commenting if the British actress Katy Louise Saunders is indeed the girlfriend.


Spotted in South Korea

According to reports, the actor returned to South Korea on December 9 and his girlfriend was in tow, having photographed her with him at the Incheon International airport. At that time, it was not known if the woman was his girlfriend so it was assumed that she was a staff member.
