K-drama leading man Song Joong-ki is in town and on the green.
The 39-year-old star and golf enthusiast has been spotted teeing off ahead of the HSBC Women’s World Championship, which began on Feb 27 and runs till March 2.
In an Instagram reel uploaded by the championship’s official account on Feb 26, Song could be seen mingling with golfers and taking photos with fans at Sentosa Golf Club. Photos of him golfing were also circulated on social media.
The lead actor in popular series such as Descendants Of The Sun (2016), Vincenzo (2021) and Reborn Rich (2022) wore a cream vest with green stripes over a T-shirt. He took part in a pro-am tournament at the club, which involved both professionals and amateurs.
Song was appointed the global golf development ambassador for Scotland-based golf club The R&A earlier in February.
In a report by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation on his appointment, Song said: “Golf is a sport that anyone of all ages can enjoy. I have been impressed by The R&A’s vision and values, and I’m honoured to be able to encourage more people to experience golf and its benefits through this partnership.”
In December 2022, when the star came to Singapore to promote Reborn Rich, he told regional media that he had played golf at Sentosa.
Song will appear in a keynote session at the HSBC Women’s World Championship Business Forum at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre on Feb 28. His speech will reportedly touch on his passion for golf and his hopes for the sport to be more inclusive and accessible. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
