Song Joong Ki surprised at Filipinos' love for 'Vincenzo,' says he'll call the writer for Season 2
Song Joong Ki was stunned to learn that Filipinos are huge fans of 'Vincenzo.'
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.
Previously, he had a cameo appearance in the hit series "Queen of Tears" as Vincenzo. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

Here's a closer look at Tarah Valencia's Miss Supranational 2025 finals gown
Rian Fernandez, the Filipino designer behind Tarah Valencia's Miss Supranational 2025 coronation night gown, shared a closer look at the Filipina beauty queen's show-stopping ensemble. On Instagram, Rian said that the architectural blue and pink cape gown was designed to make a bold and fashion-forward statement for Tarah. The dress had a dramatic off-the-shoulder neckline and exaggerated sculptural sleeves and came with matching mesh gloves encrusted with the same jewels placed on the dress. Tarah also shared gorgeous portraits of herself wearing the gown on her Instagram. "Draped in the hues of the sea, I rise like the power of the wave — calm, powerful, and proud," she wrote. "Every step. Every glide. Every tear. Every sweat dropped. Every lesson learned and unlearned. And every one of you has brought me here. I will forever be humbled for the realisation that I was meant to be here. That God saw this simple girl from Baguio worthy to represent a country so fierce and rich," she added. Adding dramatic flair and softness to the structured design are the flowing lavender chiffon panels, which cascade from the sleeves to the floor. Tarah made an impressive 3rd runner-up finish during the finals night held in Poland. In her introduction video, Tarah put the spotlight on her hometown, Baguio City. Eduarda Braum from Brazil won the Miss Supranational 2025 crown. —Carby Rose Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
