    Song Il-kook (Korean: 송일국; Hanja: 宋一國; born 1 October 1971[1]) is a South Korean actor. He is best known for his role in the 2006 hit drama series Jumong as the titular character.

    Early life and education[edit]

    Song is the grandson of politician Kim Du-han, great grandson of Kim Jwa-jin, the famous anarchist and Korean independence movement general during the early 1900s. Song is the son of politician and former actress Kim Eul-dong.[2]

    He graduated from Cheongju University, majoring in Performing Arts, and later obtained a master's degree from Chung-Ang University.

    Career[edit]

    Song is the vice-president of the Korean Triathlon Confederation[3][4] and participated in the 2008 Seoul International Triathlon Competition.[5] In April 2008, Song carried the Olympic torch through Seoul.[1][6]

    In Iran, August 2009

    According to Reuters the most popular episodes of Jumong attracted over 90% of Iranian audience (compared to 40% in South Korea), propelling Song Il-gook to superstar status in Iran.

    Song is also an amateur sketch artist.[7] He has also modelled professionally, both on the runway and in print. In 2008, he was one of the subjects of the Kolon Christmas Photo Shoot.[8]

    In 2009, the state of Hawaii designated March 21 as Song Il-kook day.[9] In April 2010, he was invited to the Blue House to dine with Heads of State, including the president of Kazakhstan, as Jumong garnered immense popularity in the central Asian country.[10]

    In October 2015, Song signed an exclusive contract with management agency C-JeS Entertainment.[11]

    Personal life[edit]

    On 15 March 2008, Song was wed to High Court Judge Jung Seung-yeon in a private, traditional Korean wedding at the Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul.[12][13][14]

    Song and Jung became parents to fraternal triplet sons at a hospital in Seoul on 16 March 2012.[15] Their sons are named Dae-han, Min-guk and Man-se which, when said together mean "Long live the Republic of Korea". Song and his sons starred in the variety show The Return of Superman from 6 July 2014 to 7 February 2016. The triplets also made a cameo appearance in Song's television series Jang Yeong-sil (2016).

    Song adheres to a pescetarian diet for both health and ethical reasons.[16]
