“I remember spending a good time with you on the Children’s Day event (at Cheong Wa Dae) in 2013, before (Song) entered the military, Park told Song. “I am very happy to see you becoming a great hallyu star after completing the military well.”

Park also told Song that he is a patriot for taking time off from his busy schedule -- as Song’s starrer “Descendants of the Sun” is enjoying global popularity -- to work as the tourism ambassador of the country.

Song responded by saying “thank you” and said he will work harder.

During the event, they walked around the center and talked about Korean foods such as samgyetang, ginseng chicken soup, which also appeared on the latest episode of “Descendants of the Sun.”

Park and Song also made Korean traditional dessert yakgwa together at the experiment center. Park complimented Song that his yakgwa is very pretty.
