Chinese netizens were shocked after news of South Korean celebrity couple Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo's divorce hit the web on Thursday, many claiming marriage becomes increasingly elusive.
The news hit after Song Joong-ki issued a statement through his lawyer on Thursday saying that he officially filed for divorce from Song Hye-kyo at Seoul Family Court on Wednesday.

We both hope to settle the divorce process in a smooth manner, rather than attack and blame each other, the statement said according to K-pop news site Koreaboo.
The hashtag for the couple's divorce news on Sina Weibo had been posted 529, 000 times and viewed 2.06 billion times as of press time.
This is totally unexpected! Song Joong-ki once pursed and loved her so much, but now everything is gone. I do not believe in love anymore, Liang Shixuan, an English teacher living in Beijing and a fan of the couple, told the Global Times.

The news when they got married was too sensational, even my mother who did not care about South Korean entertainment has heard about the news. But now they have filed for divorce. I still hope it is fake news, one Chinese netizen commented on Sina Weibo.
According to an online poll launched by Sina Weibo on Thursday, nearly 93, 000 Chinese thought the divorce was fake news, 116, 000 people said they don't believe in love anymore and 232, 000 people wished the two celebrities a good future on their own.
Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who attended the couple's wedding ceremony, also posted on Sina Weibo saying that she respects their choice and hopes for the best for them both.

Song Hye-kyo later issued a statement through her agency United Artists Agency (UAA) explaining that their split was due to differences in personality.
Our actress, Song Hye-kyo, is currently divorcing her husband after careful consideration between the two. The reason was due to differences in personality. The two were unable to overcome their differences, which led to this decision, according to a report from Koreaboo.
'Personality divergence' is often the reason cited for divorce among stars in South Korea and China as well, which is not a convincing reason. I don't believe they didn't know each other's personalities until they got married, Chen Mao, an art designer living in Shanghai, told the Global Times.

How the two will divide their assets has been another point of discussion. According to South Korean law, if the divorcing parties cannot reach an agreement through negotiation, they must turn to the court to solve the problem of property division and alimony.
Song Joong-ki revealed the news on Thursday morning, a day after submitting his divorce application. It is very rare for a star to announce a divorce at the beginning of divorce mediation, according to reports.
While the news of the divorce came as a surprise to many, South Korean media actually speculated earlier this year that the couple might get a divorce, claiming that Song Joong-ki had an affair with Song Hye-kyo's makeup teacher and pointing out that Song Hye-kyo was not wearing her wedding ring during a public event.

We all know Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo are no longer living together as their relationship ended in divorce. It has been almost a year since they separated and earlier fans expressed their aggression against Song Joong-Ki for suddenly filing for divorce when the 38-year-old beautiful star was out of South Korea for one of her projects.

Many fans of Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo earlier wondered how their divorce case ended so fast. Since they did not have any child, there was no question of battling for child custody. Secondly, the former South Korean celebrity-couple agreed to ‘no alimony’ and ‘division of assets’. Thus, the judge at the Seoul Court did not find the requirement to elongate the divorce case further.
Descendants of the Sun actor Song Joong-Ki has always been known as a ‘flower boy’ in South Korea. This is the name locals call those chaps who look really handsome. Fans are wondering how many girlfriends the 34-year-old actor he had before marrying Song Hye-Kyo in 2017.
According to EconoTimes, before marrying Song Hye-Kyo, Song Joong-Ki was rumoured to have fallen in love with Park Min-young while filming Sungkyunkwan Scandal in 2010. The outlet also claimed that he secretly enjoyed dating with Moon Chae-won earlier.

On the other hand, some media speculated that there could be a real reason behind Song Hye-Kyo and Song Joong-Ki’s divorce apart from ‘personality development’, the reason that was stated earlier. According to a Taiwanese media outlet, Apple Daily, Song Joong-Ki was having an extra-marital affair with Song Hye-Kyo’s make-up artist. The media outlet claimed that he was involved in adulterous relationship with her for six months before his wife found out.
The Taiwanese website even reported that Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo’s make-up artist had a plan to have their own ‘love nest’ where they can get together when they want to but their plan didn’t get success when his wife found out.
Even it was claimed in another reportthat Song Hye-Kyo was having an affair with her co-star and leading young actor Park Bo-gum. However, both the parties have declined such rumours. The 26-year-old Park Bo-gum’s agency warned people that it would take strict legal action for those who are spreading false news and allegations. As for the make-up artist rumoured with Song Joong-Ki, she took a selfie photo with Song Hye-Kyo to debunk the affair rumours, EconoTimes noted.
