[SBS Star] "He's So Cute!" Song Joong Ki's First Appearance on Television Gets Revisited

The first time actor Song Joong Ki ever made his television appearance has been revisited. 

On January 26, KBS' television show 'Entertainment Weekly Plus' aired an episode that compiled videos of some superstars' first television appearance. 

One of the superstars was Song Joong Ki; his first appearance on television was in 2006.

He was a freshman at Sungkyunkwan University in 2006, and he went on a quiz show called 'Quiz Daehanminguk' then. 
Since he boasted such great looks at that time, announcer Shin Young-il said to him, "You're very handsome. You also remind me of this particular celebrity. Do you know who I'm talking about?" 

With a shy smile, Song Joong Ki responded, "I can't believe that I'm saying it myself, but I've heard that I look like Kim Jung-hoon of UN a couple of times." 

Then, he was asked what he kind of job he hopes to have after graduating from university. 

Song Joong Ki stared at Shin Young-il's spot and commented, "My dream is to become an announcer. I want to steal your spot in the future.", and laughed. 

Because of his eye-catching appearance, an online fan club was made right after the broadcast. 
Song Joong Ki did say that he wanted to become an announcer, but he ended up making his debut as an actor about two years later in 2008. 

Following his debut, Song Joong Ki reminisced the past when he joined the quiz show in a post on his official fansite. 

At that time, Song Joong Ki stated, "Initially, someone else was going to participate in the quiz show. But he cancelled at the last minute, so I went on it instead. I pulled an all-nighter for like five days before the quiz show to prepare myself for those quizzes. That's how I made it up to the finals." 

He continued, "I couldn't believe it when I heard that an online fan club was created after the show. I mean, I wasn't a celebrity or anything. I was just a student, so...", then playfully added, "If I had a girlfriend back then, she probably would've been really mad about that."
