Song’s family never favored his acting career. They wanted him to study and get a corporate job but Song chose to act when he was in his third year of college. He has a degree in business administration. In the year 2017, Song married his co-star from the series ‘Descendants of the Sun’, Song Hye Kyo.

The show is doing great on the small screen. Not only South Koreans but also people around the world are drooling all over this show. This not only adds fame to the show but also brings huge responsibilities to the show makers. One of the biggest challenges that the producers are facing right now is being consistent with the ratings. One mistake and the ratings will fall down.
