Ahead of the birth of his child, a Chinese interview with the actor sparked a debate online. When asked about the balance between a family and work life, Song Joong Ki’s answer about the impact it would have on him gained attention.

Sometimes, being a father, being a husband, that means losing a job in this business. Being a father and having a baby, and a marriage with a woman, in this business, sometimes, it looks like [I’m] losing my job more and more.

• He’s so full of it. He sucks.
• The fact that it’s a male actor saying this, not even a female actor LOL. Even if his fans drop, his jobs won’t be affected.
