Recently, a Threads post revealing the alleged truth behind a top star couple’s divorce went viral.
The post shared the alleged reason for actors Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo‘s divorce in 2019.
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 conflicts between them, leading to their divorce.

Meanwhile, the couple was first introduced through their 2016 K-Drama, Descendants of the Sun. However, they reportedly met through actor Jo In Sung in 2013.
In 2016, the couple’s agencies denied dating rumors after being spotted together in New York. However, after they became public in 2017, it was revealed they had been romantically involved since 2015.
The couple married in 2017, only to file for divorce after just 20 months. At that time, they had revealed that they were divorcing due to personality differences.
