"Descendants of the Sun" handsome man chosen as tourism ambassador

Actor Song Joong Ki, who is making female fans' hearts flutter through the drama "Descendants of the Sun", has just been chosen as the tourism ambassador of Korea.

With his current influence and popularity, actor Song Joong Ki is completely worthy of the role of Korean tourism ambassador to promote and introduce the image of the kimchi country to audiences outside of Korea.

The TV series "Descendants of the Sun" began airing in Korea in February 2016 and immediately created a fever not only domestically but also in neighboring Asian countries. The film stars Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki. The film marks the return of "baby-faced handsome man" Song Joong Ki after 2 years of absence to fulfill his military service, bringing him success and fame throughout Asia.

Recently, in March, Song Joong Ki was also named in the list of stars considered fashion icons of Korea. He and his colleagues in the film revived the Korean TV drama fever that had been "dormant" for several years. "Descendants of the Sun" is also the TV series with the highest viewership rating in Korea, over 30%, in the past 4 years.

Song Joong Ki, born in 1985, became known to audiences through the TV series “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” and the hit reality show “Running Man” before becoming famous throughout Asia with the movie “Descendants of the Sun”. He was originally considered the “baby prince” of the Korean entertainment industry. However, his masculine and strong soldier image in “Descendants of the Sun” helped Song Joong Ki completely transform both in image and acting./.
