Song Il-kook welcomes triplets
Actor Song Il-kook became a father to triplets after his wife gave birth to three boys at a hospital in Seoul on Thursday.
“Mother and babies are all doing fine and Song is currently with his wife and children,” Song’s representative told Kuki News.
The news outlet reported that Song’s mother, a politician from the ruling Saenuri party, exclaimed, “Hurray for the Republic of Korea” when the babies were born.
Leading up to the birth, Song raised eyebrows by temporarily naming his children “Republic,” “Korea” and “Hurray.(”Dae-Han, Min-Kook, and Man-Soe)
“Song felt bad that he couldn’t be with his wife as much as he would have liked, but he is so stoked and grateful to her for the healthy delivery,” the representative said.
Song made his acting debut in 1998 and has starred in movies such as “The Art of Seduction” (2005) and “Red Eye” (2004). He tied the knot with a judge from the Busan area in 2008.

Dear GeNtLe family members
It is the time to inform a happy news to you all in a first place~^^
My three sons came out to this world a little while ago.
Thanks to your care and pray, all three sons and their mother are very fine.
Carrying triplets in a womb is not an easy thing as I thought in the beginning…
Usually babies are come out in 40 weeks, but carrying triplets is very hard and only half of pregnant mothers can carry until 35 weeks.
Fortunately “Dae-han, Min-kook, Man-soe” are over 35 weeks and their weight also over 1.8Kg, we don’t have to worry~^^;
Until now, because of the shooting of “Kimchi Family”, I almost did not prepare.
I apologize and thank my unyielding and enduring wife…
Again, I thank you all, GeNtLe family!
