The <em>Reborn Rich</em> star also shared some cute anecdotes about his family! </p><p>He arrived in Manila almost midnight last night, but he woke up early this morning. &quot;I woke up at 7 AM because my baby called, video-called me. I woke up and I said &#x27;hi&#x27; to my babies, and I opened the curtain in my room, and then there was a really beautiful view of the seaside. Lovely view. I really wanted to go out, but I can&#x27;t,&quot; he shared. Song Joong Ki said he would&#x27;ve loved to check out the traditional supermarkets in Manila, but he doesn&#x27;t have enough time to do so during this visit. This marks his second trip to the Philippines; he previously visited Cebu, but this is the first time he has visited the country for an event.</p><div><br/></div><div style="max-width:605px"><div style="left:0;width:100%;height:0;position:relative;padding-bottom:105%;padding-top:120px"><iframe src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?app=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fvt.tiktok.com%2FZShvCFTN9%2F&amp;key=925108d922be940af814f71907a7df4b" style="top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;border:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><a href="https://embedcodesgenerator.com" rel="noopener" style="position:absolute;width:1px;height:1px;padding:0;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);white-space:nowrap;border:0" target="_blank">embedcodesgenerator.com</a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Considering how busy he must be, we told him we&#x27;re curious about how he unwinds. Answering through a translator, the Vincenzo star said, &quot;Recently, I feel really healed when I spend time with my babies and the family as well. When there&#x27;s no schedule, of course, I would spend time with my family. That&#x27;s on the schedule, and that&#x27;s when I feel my life is balanced... If I&#x27;m working, of course, I would have to be 100% focused on my schedule, but when I&#x27;m given the time, I would really prefer to spend time with my family and babies.</p><p>In January 2023, Song Joong Ki announced that he and his British girlfriend, Katy Louise Saunders, tied the knot. On June 14, 2023, Katy gave birth to their son, and on November 20, 2024, the couple announced that they welcomed a daughter.</p><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@metrodotstyle/video/7508043608734436615" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7508043608734436615" id="v30163128947833228" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v30163128947833228" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7508043608734436615?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2025-05-24T09%3A25%3A39.076789%3Aab912f3d-ff76-455e-b9e0-923836f0cdf2%26action%3Dcorrect" style="width:100%;height:758px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:758px"></iframe><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@metrodotstyle/video/7508043608734436615" style="width:325px" target="_blank"><span>Watch on TikTok</span></a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>What is his idea of happiness today? &quot;When I think about family, that&#x27;s when happiness really hits the emotions.
