4 Degrees of Song Joong Ki

[stroppyse]

It's time for a new JangHaven game!

 

4 Degrees of Song Joong Ki

 

 

 

 

Name the actors and projects that connect Song Joong Ki with some fellow actors. However, you have to have it within 4 connections. So, 4 connections or less. It also has to be actual roles that the actors had in the same project, whether it's dramas or movies, and not just a cameo. The connections also has to be shared projects with fellow actors.

 

Give the name and the project for each connection. Please put your answers in spoilers.

 

Given how prolific the film industry is, there are more than 1 answer for each series of connections, so your answers just have to make sense and within 4 connections.

 

Example: Joo Won

Answer: Song Joong Ki was in 'Innocent Man' with Moon Chae Won who was in 'Good Doctor' with Joo Won. So, their connection is 2.

 

See what answers you can come up with for these actors:

 

1. Lee Jong Seok

2. Lee Seung Gi

3. Kim Hye Soo

4. Kim Rae Won

5. Kim Sun Ah

6. Jun Ji Hyun

7. Channing Tatum

8. Chris Evans

9. Helen Mirren

10. Pedro Pascal

11. Salma Hayek

 

The game will finish on June 16.

 

Have fun playing!

I was joking with @stroppyse and told her the connection to Chris Evan is because both are handsome. 

 

 

[stroppyse]

@ssteph, you have the right idea for the most part. However, it can't just be that 2 actors played similar roles in different projects. And, I'm also limiting this to actors rather than writers, producers, etc. So, you have to give different answers for SJK's connection to Lee Jong Seok and to Kim Sun Ah. The others have at least 1 acceptable answer for this game. Hope this makes sense! 

 

For the most part, nice answers, and I definitely learned a few things. Thank you!

I think just find korean actors/actresses who have worked in hollywood then connect back.

 

For example, Lee Byung Hun worked with Channing Tatum in GI Joe - Rise of Cobra. LBH > SJK - everyone knows 😂 oopsy!

 

[mademoiselle]

@Chocolate Hahahaha thanks for the tip! I already see there's somewhat a link to Marvel Universe between them. xDDDD

I'm limiting it to dramas and movies only for the sake of making it more challenging.

 

Also, as part of the challenge is to make it only 4 degrees of separation! Because in this day of online filmographies, 6 degrees is just too easy.

Yes, they all link back to SJK. @Chocolatehas the right idea, and it's not necessarily all about the Marvel Universe either. For instance, her connections for SJK to Channing Tatum is a completely different one than I have, though that is definitely a cool chain!

@stroppyse done, edited my answers.

 

I am enjoying to see @mademoiselle and @Chocolate's answers 😂 So, this is how to play this game 😁

Because I've never read anywhere that SJK/GY are even friends with HB or SYJ. GY and HB maybe, because of baseball eons ago. But given the nonsense from BinKyo fans, SJK was a real surprise - @ssteph by any chance have you read that SJK and HB/SYJ are friends? The wedding also had a 200 pax limit so it is unlikely acquaintances are invited. So they must be relatively close.

No. It is still mystery for me too 👀

 

Should we analyze their connection? 🧐🤔 I hear HB is friend with Jang Dong Gun & Hwang Jung Min? They like golf. SJK likes golf too and friend with JDG & HJM.

Connection with SYJ. SYJ and SJK know Yang Kyung Won.

 

😂😂😂

[mademoiselle]

@ssteph @Chocolate Maybe their connection is Jang Dong Gun. They both worked with JDG. Now we need to figure out Gong Yoo

Spoiler

Also Choco, maybe the ex-boyfriends got together comfort each other

 

[mademoiselle]

@Chocolate Oh yay... I found another link

 

Spoiler

Lee Jong Suk — Hyun Bin (Secret Garden) — Song Hye Kyo (World Within...) — Song Joong Ki (DotS)

lol..lol....i am just getting entertained reading all of your replies...

 

@Chocolate even i keep wondering , how on earth did he become friend with SYJ and HB !!!!

[UnniSara]

I finished my part in the game. I tried so hard to make different connections and it was so hard . I wanted my answers to be different, Hope I did it Justice. 

[ktcjdrama]

This game is too hard... I don't have time to do the sleuthing these days, so I will sit this one out. Will enjoy reading your answers and learning more about SJK

You should give it a try just in terms of the dramas you've watched even. Korean actors, especially the veterans, get cast into so many projects that this game may not be as hard as it looks. When I was working out the questions, I used all leading roles to get to the answers, so not even that many veterans or supporting roles.

 

I am totally amazed by the variety of answers that everyone has come up with in this game!
