Recently, a post on Threads went viral, claiming to reveal the “real reason” behind the couple’s 2019 divorce. The post alleged that family dynamics, particularly expectations from Song Joong Ki’s father, played a role in the breakdown of the marriage.
The OP said, “My mom and Song Joong Ki’s dad are buddies. My mom went to Song Joong Ki’s first wedding, although she didn’t take photos because no phones were allowed. She said one of the reasons why they divorced was that his dad thought Song Hye Kyo wasn’t obedient enough. Song Hye Kyo was someone who preferred freedom, while Song Joong Ki really listened to his dad, so there was a lot of conflict between them, leading to their divorce.”
According to the unverified claim, differences in personality and lifestyle between the two stars were amplified by external pressure, ultimately leading to conflict. However, it is important to note that these claims remain unconfirmed rumors, with no official statements supporting them.
The couple first rose to fame together through the hit drama Descendants of the Sun, which aired in 2016 and became a pan-Asian phenomenon. Although their agencies initially denied dating rumors, it was later revealed that they had been in a relationship since 2015. Their wedding in 2017 was one of the most talked-about celebrity events in Korea, symbolizing a real-life fairytale for fans.
Despite the public’s high expectations, the marriage lasted only about 20 months. In 2019, the couple officially filed for divorce, citing personality differences as the reason. At the time, both sides chose to keep details private, leading to years of speculation and ongoing rumors.
Even years later, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo remain two of the most influential figures in Korean entertainment. Their relationship, and its sudden end, continues to capture public curiosity.
