According to Star News (Korea), in the program "Yoo Bari talk show Bari" broadcast on August 30, Song Joong Ki appeared as a guest to promote the new TV series.
Here, the actor received an interesting question: "If your girlfriend goes drinking with a friend of the opposite sex at 10pm, will you accept it?" Without hesitation, Song Joong Ki replied: "I won't accept it."
He further explained that, from a personal perspective, it is the time to rest, go to bed, instead of going out with friends of the opposite sex.
Song Joong Ki's straightforward answer immediately attracted attention and created a lot of controversy on social networks.
Not only in Korea, the keyword related to Song Joong Ki immediately climbed to 2nd place in the most searched category on the Chinese Weibo platform.
Many viewers have made different arguments. Some criticized Song Joong Ki for saying that the answer showed patriarchy: "He seems to like to control his girlfriend", " men who are patriarchal like this are right to divorce", "So Song Hye Kyo made the right choice when divorcing him"...
In addition, there are also opinions supporting the actor's point of view: "If he can also avoid drinking and talking to people of the opposite sex after 10pm, then this request is not unreasonable. Anyway, after getting married, he still has to keep his distance from his friends outside, I cant accept it. It's only normal not to accept it," "I don't think his request is too much. I don't like my husband drinking alcohol with someone of the opposite sex at night. He can take me with him, but he shouldnt go alone...
While Song Joong Ki was criticized, Song Hye Kyo was still mentioned. Although the two have been divorced for many years, whenever one of them get into a scandal, the other person is immediately caught up.
