The audience accidentally discovered the commonality between Song Joong Ki and the character he took on in the youngest son of a tycoon.
In the youngest son of a tycoon, Song Joong Ki plays Hyun Woo, later Do Joon carries the soul of Hyun Woo, living in the 20th century. Whether it is Hyun Woo in his forties raised in poverty or Do Joon in his late teens. If you’re a “golden spoon”, the essence of this character is still an extremely outstanding person. Hyun Woo grew up in a difficult situation, but his academic performance has never been affected. He always got good grades in all subjects, ranked first in his grade when he was in high school. Unfortunately, because of a family incident, his mother died and his father was unemployed, so Hyun Woo could not attend university. Although still, he still excelled as the head of the department at the infamous Soonyang Group.
Later, while living in the body of Do Joon, as the youngest tycoon, Hyun Woo freely expressed himself. As Do Joon, he continued to be an excellent student, becoming the first valedictorian of the Law Faculty – Seoul University, something that no one in the Soonyang family had ever done.
Hyun Woo’s outstanding education is similar to Song Joong Ki himself in real life. Even compared to his character, Song Joong Ki has a better part. He owns an IQ of 140, a very intelligent IQ, that’s why when he was in high school, he easily achieved good grades in all subjects. With an excellent achievement of 380/400 points, Song Joong Ki was admitted directly to Sungkyungkwan University, the oldest and most prestigious school in Korea. After studying, Song Joong Ki also successfully graduated with two degrees: Business Administration and Broadcasting.
With his outstanding ability, Song Joong Ki is considered that no matter what he does, he can easily succeed and he has chosen acting as the goal of his life. And of course, after the first years of his career, “sitting thorns and tasting honey”, accepting to play unknown supporting roles, Song Joong Ki shined strongly, winning big in both film and television fields. Currently, with two consecutive years of success, from Vincenzo to the youngest tycoon, Song Joong Ki’s career is rising dramatically.
