Song Joong-ki publishes a bestseller
by javabeans
Budding star Song Joong-ki (OB-GYN, Triple) put out a book in April, which within a month has hit No. 1 on the bestseller list. It’s a “men’s beauty book” called Beautiful Skin Project — appropriate since Song is noted for possessing that trait. As he’s got quite the female following (unsurprisingly, since he’s adorable), approximately 30% of sales is attributed to women customers, despite the fact that it’s a health and beauty guide for men. (Ha. Well, I’d buy one if it had lots of pictures. Is that shallow? I think I’m okay with that.)
A number of celebrities have put out books, which can be separated in to a few distinct categories: essays, as in the case of Horan, Choi Kang-hee, and Kim Hyun-joo; novels and fiction, such as Shin-yi, Cha In-pyo, and Gu Hye-sun; photo collections, as with Lee Jun-ki, Kim Bum, and Park Ji-yoon; and how-to guides, which include this one and other similar titles like the beauty book by Eugene, the fashion bible by Lee Hye-young, and Kim Rae-won‘s cookbook.
On the acting front, Song Joong-ki has a few projects planned for the near future, such as the period drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal with Micky Yoochun and the film Heart Is 2, which is the sequel to the heartwarming 2006 movie that starred Yoo Seung-ho.

Song Joong-ki is LOVE.
Although I'm pretty skeptical of stars writing books... I think he probably knows a lot about how to keep his manly skin pretty, so I'll go with this. ;)

Why has this website gone back to people with shirts and pants on?! All jokes aside I would love to read Choi Kang-hees writings (she's very.. unique) and Kim Rae Wons cookbook (you can never have too many cookbooks). Also, Song Joon-ki is adorable.

Why not publish a book simply entitled "SOOOOOO Cute" and fill it with pictures of him being adorable (including many, many stills from Triple), interspersed with his musings on is own adorableness as well as testimonials from people who could not resist the magnetic pull of his adorability. This would have had the exact same effect on the bestseller list.
BTW... 15 of that 30% of sales that went to women was probably women buying the book for their significant other... or at least to surreptitiously try the tips on them.

There's no naked picture of him? After yesterday, this is a major disappointment.

Haaaah! Oh well, such things are saturated here in the U.S. so it's nothing new if this concept spreads like a virus. And people still say the economy is in a recession.
When will a copy or two be available in public libraries? I want to make good use of where my tax dollars are distributed. ^____^ v

Hi,
That book is an eye candy filled with beautiful pictures of him.
I was lucky enough to be given an autographed copy.
