Actor Song Joong-ki and his wife, Katy Louise Saunders, made their first official public appearance as a married couple Saturday, narrating a disability-inclusive classical concert at Seoul Arts Center.
The couple's participation in Gaon Soloists’ seventh regular concert, "Kinderszenen," marked a deliberate shift from casual public sightings to actively spotlighting a social cause. The event commemorated the 46th National Day for Persons with Disabilities.

Founded in 2021 and led by violist and music director Kim Yoo-young, Gaon Soloists is a chamber ensemble that unites classical musicians with and without disabilities.
Kang Ja-yeon, the group’s representative, said on YTN Radio that Song’s team initiated the collaboration after learning about the ensemble through a mutual connection.
“They heard about our performance through an acquaintance and contacted us first,” Kang said. “It was a great honor for us.”
