Song Joong Ki remembers Rocco Nacino from their previous interaction in South Korea!

Rocco Nacino and his wife Melissa Gohing were among the stars spotted at Song Joong Ki’s fan meet in Manila last weekend.

Melissa, a true K-Drama fan, was able to play charades with the Hallyu star.

Meanwhile, when a surprise video played for Song Joong Ki showing fan messages featuring Rocco, he remembered the Kapuso actor and then turned to look and point at him. They previously met at the Busan International Film Festival.

After the show, GMA News Online asked Rocco about the short but sweet moment.  

“We’re friends,” Rocco joked and laughed.

“Na-touch naman ako nung nakita niya ‘ko, naalala niya ‘ko,” he added. “Na-shy naman ako, pinakita picture namin pero nakakatuwa naman na kilala ako ng isang Song Joong Ki.”

Rocco said the gesture shows how humble the Korean superstar is.

“He’s very humble and for him to remember people na nakapag-picture sa kanya, that’s a very big thing,” he said. “Bilang isang aktor, I want to be as humble as him. Marami siyang naalala sa mga fans niya, ganun talaga siya yumakap. It’s a good reminder para sa akin na dapat minamahal mo talaga mga fans mo.”

“Na-transform ako. Isa [na] ‘kong Song Joong Ki fan,” he added.

Rocco also shared that when he first met Song Joong Ki, he showed him photos from the Philippine adaptation of “Descendants of the Sun.”

“Natuwa siya, happy siya na [at sinabi] ‘Wow, I love this. I hope I can come to the Philippines.' Ayun na nga, natuloy na nga.”

Song Joong Ki got close with Filipino fans during his first fan meeting on May 24 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Aside from wanting to return to the Philippines for family vacations, the actor says he hopes to visit local markets.

Song Joong Ki is best known for his roles in “Vincenzo,” “Reborn Rich,” “Werewolf Boy,” and “Space Sweepers,” among many others. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
