Descendant of the Sun's Song Joong Ki's Amazing Brotherly Friendship with Lee Kwang Soo
Just recently, Allkpop reports that Lee Kwang Soo's sister had just given birth and one of the first guests to ever visit them in the hospital is Song Joong Ki himself. Now that is devotion. Song Joong Ki and Lee Kwang Soo have gone way past friendship and had formed a deep brotherly bond. In fact, back when Song himself was serving in the military, it was Lee who had stepped up when Song couldn't attend his brother's wedding. Lee became the perfect proxy for Song and acted like he was part of the family, taking pictures with over a thousand guests.
The pair had first met when they were both casted into SBS 'Running Man' and being two of the youngest cast members back then, it was natural for them to share interests and bond. Even after Song left the show due to his busy schedule, their friendship went on. If you count the days since their participation in Running Man then that means they have been best friends for about six years now!
According to iTech Post, Song Joong Ki once shared that Lee Kwang Soo is the only friend who visits Song's house unannounced and that his mother doesn't mind that at all. In fact, Song said that his mother delighted in Lee's visits and that she would often make handmade noodles for him.
Lee Kwang Soo even made a cameo appearance in Song Joong Ki's phenomenal 'Descendants of the Sun' as a way of supporting his friend after his military service. And since they are so close, maybe Lee Kwang Soo is the key to Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's real status, right?
True friends are like rare gems. They're hard to come by and once you do, it's definitely hard to let go. It's amazing that Song Joong Ki can find someone like that in Lee Kwang Soo.
