Recently, a post on the social network Threads related to the past relationship of two actors Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki has spread strongly. The post is said to reveal the "true reason" behind the couple's 2019 divorce decision.
The article argues that the family factor, especially the expectations from Song Joong Ki's father, contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.
The poster shared: "My mother and Song Joong Ki's father are friends. My mother attended Song Joong Ki's first wedding, although she did not take pictures because she was not allowed to bring a phone.
She said that one of the reasons they divorced was because his father thought that Song Hye Kyo was not obedient enough. Song Hye Kyo is a person who likes freedom, while Song Joong Ki is very obedient to his father, so many conflicts occurred between them, leading to divorce.
According to this sharing and the reason for the divorce that the two actors mentioned publicly, the difference in personality and lifestyle between the two people was amplified by external pressure, ultimately leading to conflict.

The wedding held in October 2017 of the couple was once one of the most discussed events in Korea, considered a "lifetime fairy tale" for fans.
However, contrary to public expectations, the marriage only lasted about 20 months. In 2019, the two officially filed for divorce, with a brief reason given as "personal differences".
At that time, both sides chose to keep the details secret, leading to speculations and rumors about the reason for the divorce that have been continuously discussed to this day. There were even rumors that the couple broke up because Song Hye Kyo refused to have children.
