ate many chicken breasts + eggs = wonderful body
June 20th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Song Il-gook confessed, “For the past 15 years, I went on a vegetarian
diet without consuming any meat, but to build up my body for this
drama, I ate many chicken breasts, as many as I will eat for my whole
life, and also ate so much egg whites that I’m fed up with eggs. It is not
too much to say that I have sharpened the knife for this drama for one
year”. He continued to say with a laugh, “My trainer named my
thighs ‘Horse thighs’ and he suggested that they have to be exposed in
the drama”.
June 20th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
In the MBC TV drama “A Man Called God”, actor Song Il-gook
spawned the new phrase “horse thighs”, and he continuously shows
off his body with extremely low body fat. He proves the fact that he
has gone through a long time of suffering by exposing his upper
body in a beach scene and swimming pool scene, and displays the
muscles of his lower body in the drama.

Song Il Gook (송일국)
South Korean actor and model Song Il Gook is most known for his work in historical dramas (saguek) namely Jumong, Emperor of the Sea and Kingdom of the Wind.
He comes from a family rich in political history. Born to actress Kim Eul Dong and her husband Mr Song (his dad seems to be unnamed) on South Korea’s National Military day, he was named “Il Gook / Il Guk”, meaning “one nation”.
Song Il Gook’s maternal side of the family contributed greatly to the independence and freedom South Korea is experiencing today! His great-grandfather General Kim Jwa-Jin (Baekya) was responsible for the first emancipation of slaves in Korea. His grandfather, Kim Du Han was Korea’s most famous gangster, right wing politician and freedom fighter.
Song Il Gook was brought up in a Christian family and attended Apgu-Jong Elementary, Gu-Jong Junior High and Hyeon-dae High School. Il Gook then went on to attend Chong-Ju University of Film and Theatre and spent a short time in the USA training in stage performances.
After completing university, Il Gook served as his mother’s chauffeur for a short time and later enrolled for (the compulsory 2-year) military service in the Korean army.
Song Il Gook married Ms Jung, a Busan High Court Judge on 15 March, 2008.

He is one of my favorites. Loved him in Jumong. He is a great actor. I’m liking Kingdom of the Wind but I find the main actress lacking so a lot of the scenes don’t work for me
