Song Hye Kyo: suffered when she was a child, unable to open her heart in adulthood

Before becoming the well-loved visual goddess she is today, Song Hye Kyo has experienced various turbulence. 

Since her acting debut in the 90s, Song Hye Kyo has always been a beauty icon both in and outside of Korea. The actress will soon make a grand return with the upcoming K-drama “The Glory”, which will be penned by the screenwriter of “Descendants of The Sun”, and star the rising actor Lee Do Hyun.

In particular, Song Hye Kyo witnessed her parents’ divorce when she was a small child. Apparently, the actress’s mother and father married young, and would argue all the time. 

As a result, her father left, while her mother left Song Hye Kyo behind with her grandparents, before returning and bringing the actress to Seoul.

Her tough childhood had somewhat contributed to the strong and independent Song Hye Kyo of today. However, it also puts up strong barriers around the actress’s heart. 

Many Korean netizens even called Song Hye Kyo a “miserable beauty” for her turbulent life, especially when it comes to romance. For now, none of her loves resulted in a happy ending, and even her marriage with famous actor Song Joong Ki ended abruptly after 2 years.
