Actor Song Joong Ki relayed a cute tale of his encounter with Korean president Park Geun Hye during the 'Descendants of the Sun' press conference on April 15.

He revealed, "I was nervous on the day I was supposed to go meet the president. �There's a story." �He thought back to his meeting with the president, then said, "Without knowing, I greeted her with, 'It is nice meeting you.' �However, to tell the truth, before going to the military in the past, I had seen her before at a Children's Day event. �That greeting went out without my knowing because I had not had many chances to see the president. �But the president responded with, 'We had met before,'" causing laughter.�

"Still, she said to me, 'Did you return from the military well?' so I was grateful," he concluded. �"She empathized with me, saying many nice things like, 'Keeping being modest in the future.'"

Anyone can get a bit tongue-tied in front of the president!
