Song Joong-ki in Elle magazine
by javabeans
This is the time of the month when the fashion mags release their teaser photos for the next month’s issues, which is why we’ve got a couple of them released at the same time. This one features Song Joong-ki, whose “pretty boy” concept goes literal (the term for pretty boy is directly translated “flower boy”) in the Elle fashion spread for the magazine’s June issue.
He’s known for his personable image and pretty features, and joked that upon seeing the photo concept, “You could call me ‘unni-like.'” In the accompanying interview, Song showed a hint of some of his acting ambition, saying, “When I choose a project, rather than just thinking of a role I could handle, I’m drawn more to characters that make me wonder if I can pull them off well.”
After wrapping up his drama OB-GYN, Song put out a men’s health and beauty book, Beautiful Skin Project, which topped the bestseller list within a month of publication. Next, he will prepare for the upcoming drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal, which stars Micky Yoochun and is rumored to be considered casting Seo Hyo-rim as his love interest (which I would LOVE, because I find her a vivacious and endearing actress). The “youth sageuk” features four young men in the Joseon era and is already incurring “F4” comparisons. Sungkyunkwan Scandal is scheduled for a September premiere on KBS.
Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki also has a movie coming out, Heart Is 2 (posters below), and recently participated in an animal rights campaign. The movie will release later this summer.

Yikes. Love the boy. But that photo looks like Peter Pan having had an unfortunate collision with the Rose Parade.

I wish they didn't make him look so much like a spinster who got dehydratred because she doesn't care about anything else but her garden..
he looks cute in the other photos though..

haha interesting. I love him and I think he's smart in choosing good roles that he can do well, especially now that he's gotten the attention on his cute face. I think that's good for him, but I don't see him as a good "actor," just an adorable, refreshing face I'd like to see a lot. He doesn't seem to want to challenge himself with hard roles, but hopefully he will start doing that in the future. ^^ maybe?

actually i love the kkot minam (pretty boy) photo at the top. he manages to look sultry, not just "pretty." much preferable to the cutesy look below it. (sorry, I'm a cat person!)

So is this the new trend? Pretty boys with flowers and puppies.
I can't tell what gender from the first picture.

I love his smile! And the puppies are sooo cute!
Don't know if I'm wrong, but I thought that Jung Da-young was cast for SungKyunKwan Scandal and not Seo Hyo-rim?!

I second @paula253 - I'm a cat person myself and much prefer him all sultry in the first pic. I don't mind the wreath thing on his arm, but dude lose the hat.
He's so etherealy gorgeous and glowy, I can just gaze at him for ages! (Creepy! Haha!)

Cute boys and puppies, argh!!! I was stunned for a full minute trying to gauge which is the cuter one, and settled for the puppy being flattened at the bottom...
Heart is 2 looks like a movie I would watch!!! Please be nothing like Marley and Me...

I'm totally under this guy's spell...ever since Triple, I've been hooked, line and sinker. Just so much potential! OBGYN was a great addition to his repertoire - hoping to see great things from him. Go Joong Ki!
