Song Joong-ki files for divorce from Song Hye-gyo

In some shocking news out of Seoul today, Song Joong-ki (Arthdal Chronicles) has announced that he’s filed for divorce from Song Hye-gyo (Boyfriend).

The pair starred in the hit drama Descended From the Sun and dated quietly before marrying in 2017. There have been rumors of marital unrest for a while now, with Song Hye-gyo getting snapped without her wedding ring just a few weeks ago but this still feels like it’s come out of the blue.

Song Joong-ki has released an official statement; shortly afterwards Song Hye-gyo’s entertainment agency, UAA Korea, released their own statement.

Song Joong-ki’s full official statement:

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to apologize, as I have some sad news for my fans and all those who care for me.

I have started divorce proceedings from Ms. Song Hye-gyo.

We hope to finalize the divorce amicably and without attacking or placing blame on each other.

I ask that you respect our privacy at this time, as it’s not possible to explain the entirety of one’s private life. I will recover from the pain of this time, and in the future I will do my best as an actor to put my best face forward and repay your kindness.

Thank you,
Song Joong-ki

 
Song Hye-gyo agency’s full official statement:

Song Hye-gyo and her husband have begun divorce proceedings after serious deliberation.

Differences in personality have become irreconcilable. We cannot elaborate any further out of respect for the privacy of the two parties.

For the sake of both actors, we ask that the media and public refrain from writing sensational or speculative articles and comments. Thank you.

Things are definitely going to get complicated for them. Since they didn't give broad reasons for the divorce I think the media and the whole community would have their eyes on them. Woe betide anyone from the opposite sex caught with them. The whole world is going to blame them for the break up

Interesting statements.

SJK reads like something he wrote himself with all the feeling this would emote. SHGs on the other hand looks like something her lawyer composed, something quite likely due to her longer experience in the business.

I don't think it's worth reading anything into the formulations of their statements. Love just hurts, no matter how famous you are.

But I was very surprised to hear of their marriage, they probably never had time to sink into the phase of daily life to begin with so on the whole I'm quite underwhelmed. Who hasn't had a stormy love who turned bleh when the honeymoon ended. I hope they heal well.

I'm starting as avid fan of his acting since The innocent Man days and admire him ever since SKKS. But even I admit, he sound bitter and hurt. He shouldn't do this and handling this out of hand. But WHo Am I? There must be something BIG in their relationship which has already broken and leaving a big scar that one of them no longer handling it rationally.

Um... So like would I be the only one out of the 140 comments here that is actually not that surprised? I honestly thought that their marriage came up way too quickly after their dating news and they haven't known each other that long when they married. So..... No hate here, but I'm honestly really not that surprised. Especially with their insanely busy schedules and also if you've noticed on Song Hyekyo's Insta, she's never so much posed one pic of Song Joongki after their two years of marriage. Maybe it's because of the media's and netizens' attention but still though, a lot of other celeb couples post each others' spouses on SNS. So yeah back to the point, I'm really not surprised.

She has her private IG and maybe there she was posting pics about him. She did have some pics about him on her official IG as well but apparently (according to what I read online) in the last couple of months those pics got deleted. According to the news outlets they separated in Sept 2018, he moved out of the house when he started filming Arthdal Chronicles. Very sad news indeed if all this is true.
They were in love and maybe rushed into marriage. Unfortunately that happens.

Totally not a surprise. The Chinese media has been reporting on this for months (and it was months, not weeks, ago that they reported about them not wearing their wedding rings and SHG taking down couple photos on her Social media account). Reports now are saying they may not have ever even moved into the condo they purchased. Possible- hasn’t Song Joong-ki been filming Arthdal Chronicles since summer of 2018?).

I have zero interest in their personal lives, but their hasty marriage - after starring as a couple in a popular drama - always made me think of those Hollywood marriages back in the 50s and 60s, when actors seemed to be unable to separate their characters from reality, and frequently dated and/or married their latest co-star, only to divorce a few years later, when they fell for another romance drama co-star.

I’m more sad to hear that depression (and probably the stress of having to deal with the crap from the nasty, demanding, critical “Netizens”) has led to the suicide of yet another Korean actor/idol, Jeon Mi-sun.

These Netizens are so vile. They even started attacking Park Bo-gum for the Song marriage breakup. Ridiculous, especially considering the complete lack of ANY chemistry between him and SHG in the drama. I feel sorry for him, too.

I’m not a fan of either, but divorce sucks, even the amicable ones, so leave them alone.

Marriage is never easy but if you truly love your better half, you will choose to stay and fix things to be okay. As for the SongSong Couple, in my opinion, they don't love each other enough to face the challenges of marriage and opted to part ways. But I guess that would be better for both of them than to endure an unhappy life. :( #sadfanhere
