South Korean actor Song Joong Ki, who became famous after the military drama TV series "Descendants of The Sun" is currently filming for his next movie "Battleship Island".

Recently, the actor surprised his crewmembers with stylish vests from TOPTEN, which is South Korea's most renowned fashion brands. Since Song Joong Ki is presently a name to be reckoned with, hence his donning of TOPTEN garments might be a good marketing strategy for the brand. This was precisely the reason he was chosen as the brand ambassador for TOPTEN, reported the South Korean news website Dmilbo.

"I am walking a lot because I have to lose a lot of weight," he said.

The sets of the movie were replicated according to the island, and Song Joong Ki believes that the movie might be better than what has been promised.
