Song met Lee Byung-hun, best known from the G.I. Joe series, while they were filming the SBS television series All In (2003), in which Lee played the role of a professional gambler who fell deeply in love with dealer Min Su-yeon, played by Song. The film was a hit in South Korea and many other Asian countries for its captivating storyline that combined action and drama with a love triangle, as well as the chemistry between the main characters.

Much to fans’ excitement, Song and Lee later publicly announced that they were dating despite an 11-year age gap and Lee’s “bad boy” reputation. The couple broke up after little over a year in 2004.

Rain (Full House)

In 2004, Song made waves when she co-starred in TV series Full House (2004) with singer and actor Jung Ji-hoon – better known by his stage name, Rain. Many have credited the series with helping propel the Korean Wave.

The adorable contrast of Rain’s tall frame against the petite actress’, as well as their cute on-screen relationship, fuelled fan rumours about the two dating. However, both Song and Rain have repeatedly denied any romantic relationship, claiming they’re just friends and that Song is more like an older sister to Rain.

Rain has been happily married to actress Kim Tae-hee since 2017, with two children.
