Actor Song Joong-ki will step onto the ice for the first time in a long while.

On the 30th, HLAnyang posted an announcement stating, "The star of the puck drop for our home opener series on October 3 (Sat) is actor Song Joong-ki. He will be there to cheer for HLAnyang's victory."

HLAnyang, South Korea's only men's professional ice hockey team, will play its home opener against Red Eagles Hokkaido at the Anyang Ice Rink on October 3. Song Joong-ki is scheduled to stand on the ice as the puck drop star and cheer for HLAnyang's win.

It is well known that Song Joong-ki was a short track speed skating athlete during his elementary and middle school years. He previously revealed, "I worked hard because I wanted to become a national team member, but it wasn't easy. When I was in high school, I quit sports and told my parents for the first time that I wanted to become an actor."

Thanks to this background, he was cast in a leading role in the 2009 MBC drama "Triple," which depicted the love story of figure skaters. Since then, having enjoyed a successful career as an actor, he is expected to provide a special spectacle by standing on the ice rink after a long time.

Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki married British actress Katie Louise Saunders in 2023 and has one son and one daughter. He is currently filming "Love Cloud," a new KBS 2TV drama scheduled to air next year.
