Since Descendants of the Sun first made its debut in 2016, fans have shipped both Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo. The on-screen couple took their relationship to the next level by becoming an IRL couple and fans were over the moon with joy.
Unfortunately for the fans, it seems that their favourite ship has sunk after two years of marriage.
Split rumours between the couple first surfaced back in April and sadly it seems like those rumours are true.
Via a statement from his lawyer, Joong-ki apologised to his fans for giving them “unfortunate news” but revealed that he and his other half have indeed begun divorce proceedings.

Korean Times translated his statement which read:
“Hello. This is Song Joong-ki.
First, I’d like to apologise for delivering this unfortunate news to the many fans who love and care for me. I have begun the process of filing for divorce from Song Hye-kyo. Rather than denouncing one another and arguing over who is to blame, I hope that the divorce process can be wrapped up amicably.
I ask for your understanding in regards to the fact that it is difficult to discuss the details of my personal life, and I will recover from my current wounds and do my utmost as an actor to repay you through great productions in the future. Thank you.”

Hye-kyo’s agency, UAA also released a statement – which was also translated by Korean Times, on behalf of the actress which states that the couple’s incompatible personalities eventually led to their split.
“Hi, this is UAA representing Song Hye-kyo.
First, we apologise for delivering an unfortunate news. Hye-kyo is currently going through divorce proceedings with her husband, following a careful consideration. The reason for divorce is a difference in personality. The decision came because the pair could not overcome the difference.
We cannot check out the further details due to the privacy concerns. We ask for your understanding about this. In addition, please refrain from making sensational reports and leaving speculative comments, for the sake of the actors. We apologise for fuelling worries. We will strive for the better in the future.”
