There have been many rumors circulating the internet that "Descendants of the Sun" star Song Joong-Ki may be dating his co-star Song Hye-Kyo.
In an exclusive interview with Naver TV, Joong-Ki finally broke the silence and answered an important question that has been lingering in the minds of viewers. Among the many questions asked, the interviewer wanted Joong-Ki to choose between Doctor Kang Mo-Yeon and Yoon Myeong-Joo.
Surprised that he was asked such a question on KBS News 9, the actor answered, "Well, since I've shared so many emotional scenes with Kang Mo-Yeon..." continued Joong-Ki with a smile on his face. "If I don't say that, she'll probably get mad. Of course, I choose Doctor Kang Mo-Yeon."
When Joong-Ki's attention was drawn to rumors that he was dating Hye-Kyo, he said the two are aware of such rumors, and that they are really enjoying them. Joong-Ki believes that such rumors emanate from the overwhelming positive response that the drama has received.
