Recently, a video has been gaining attention with the caption, “Song Joong Ki’s face totally changed after hearing Song Hye Kyo’s name. What’s going on?” In the video, there are fans around the actor, and when his ex, Song Hye Kyo, is mentioned, his expression seemingly changes from smiling to something else before a fan asks for photos and he smiles again.

Wow, hello~ The one who married Song Hye Kyo. Right, let’s take a picture Hello, hello
It sparked mixed reactions from fans. While some hit back at the actor’s reaction due to their thoughts on the divorce, others acknowledged why he might have been less positive about being referred to in this way rather than by his name.
Song Hye Kyo is more famous than this loser hahaha what a slap to his face! He was referred to as “Song Hye Kyo’s ex-husband” ㅋㅋㅋ https://t.co/CI6JGpMTNh

The only thing people don’t understand why he is mad is because random fan mentioned him as “Songhyekyo’s ex husband” not as his name, so if yall don’t understand maybe chill https://t.co/XfnIeoUk8S

Y’all are weirdos. Who wants to hear their ex’s name? Song Joong-ki has the right to be upset. He is human, so stop acting like he can not have a human reaction. https://t.co/YqBW6Nibuh pic.twitter.com/w89oTIW3wu
