Song Joong-ki's agency, High Zium Studio, also confirmed the news with a statement of their own that read, “Song Joong Ki welcomed a baby girl to the world today. He is thankful to everyone who is sending him congratulatory messages, please send him your blessings and lots of support.”

Earlier in July, the agency announced that Song Joong-ki and Katy Louise Saunders were expecting their second child. The couple, who got married in January last year, welcomed their first child, a son, in June 2023. 

On the work front, Song Joong-ki was seen in two films this year - My Name is Loh Kiwan and Bogota: The City of Lost. Next, the actor will be seen in a romance K-drama titled My Youth, in which he'll share screen space with The Atypical Family fame Chun Woo Hee. The drama explores the emotional and transformative journey of Sun Woo Hae (Song Joong Ki) and Sung Je Yeon (Chun Woo Hee) as they reconnect and navigate their lives. It will also explore the truths of growing up and the changes that come about in the time in between. My Youth is set to premiere in 2025.
