Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki Divorce: From Century's Wedding to Separation

The divorce of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki, famously known as the 'Song-Song Couple,' continues to be a topic of public interest. They met through the 2016 drama 'Descendants of the Sun' and held a private wedding ceremony at Shilla Hotel on October 31, 2017, dubbed the 'wedding of the century.' However, their marriage ended in less than two years, with the divorce officially announced on June 27, 2019, following Song Joong Ki's application for divorce mediation. Song Hye Kyo's side cited personality differences as the reason for the divorce.

The couple's relationship began with a surprise wedding announcement on July 5, 2017, which garnered significant attention as they had previously denied dating rumors. Approximately 16 months into their marriage, in February 2019, rumors of divorce began circulating via Chinese media, fueled by observations such as Song Hye Kyo not wearing her wedding ring and deleting Song Joong Ki's photos from her social media. The divorce process concluded swiftly, with mediation finalized on July 22, 2019.

Neither party disclosed specific details regarding the divorce, leading to various speculations beyond personality differences, including disagreements over family planning, though these remain unconfirmed. Song Joong Ki announced his remarriage and pregnancy in 2023, while Song Hye Kyo shared her feelings about the divorce rumors on a broadcast in 2024, as both have moved forward with their individual lives.
