Why Are People Talking About Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki’s Divorce Again? Netizens React

Recent reports from a Chinese media outlet have resurfaced details about the divorce of South Korean actors Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki, leading to online reactions. The report suggested differences about having children as a key factor in their split. This has prompted many fans to express their frustration at the continued discussion of their past relationship, especially given that they divorced almost six years ago.

Reports on the Reason for the Divorce

A Chinese media outlet, Luzhong Morning Post in Shandong Province, recently published a report claiming to reveal the reason behind the divorce of Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki. The report stated that Song Hye-kyo mentioned in an interview that Song Joong-ki had pursued her actively since their time working together on Descendants of the Sun, and that he wanted to start a family immediately after marriage. However, Song Hye-kyo reportedly felt differently due to her career still being in a phase of development. The report suggested that these differing views on having children contributed to a growing distance between them.

The two actors, fondly known as the “Song-Song couple,” married on October 31, 2017, after their on-screen romance in the 2016 drama Descendants of the Sun. Their divorce was announced in June 2019 and finalized shortly after. At the time, their agencies cited “differences in personality” as the official reason for their separation.

Fans React to Resurfaced Details

The resurfacing of these details has caused a stir among fans. Many expressed annoyance at the renewed focus on the former couple’s personal lives, especially after so much time has passed. Some common reactions include:

“It’s amazing how little people talk before getting married. Having children should have been a discussion before marriage, not after.”
“It’s been 6 years can we just move on?”
“They’ve been divorced for almost 6 years, what’s even the point,”
“They have been divorced for years, he is even in his new marriage and everyone already knew why they had divorced, what is the news here?”
“The ‘Luzhong Morning Post in Shandong Province’ reported that Song Hye Kyo recently appeared on a broadcast, where she opened up for the first time —– Why would Song Hye Kyo open up to a Chinese company from a relatively less popular province?”
“Ai yo… that was many years ago. Stop reporting abt their previous marriage. Move on,”

These comments highlight the general sentiment that it is time to respect the privacy of both actors and allow them to move forward. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:

“Are we going to do JB & SG too now?? Everytime they have new work/project all this sort of news will come out suddenly. Just f move on it’s been 6years already. Stop associating these two and left her alone”

This reaction underscores the feeling that these reports are unnecessary and potentially disruptive.
