Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo’s Reported Cause of Divorce Revealed

Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo’s divorce drama exploded again with new claims about why they split in 2019.

The controversy started after a viral Threads post spilled what really went down behind their breakup.

The post said it wasn’t just “personality differences.” It claimed Song Joong Ki’s dad didn’t approve of Song Hye Kyo because she wasn’t “obedient enough.”

“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.”

The couple’s relationship started off as a fairy tale. They met around 2013 via actor Jo In Sung. Fans saw sparks flying after their hit 2016 drama Descendants of the Sun.

They denied dating rumors in 2016 despite being caught together in New York. It was only in 2017 that they admitted they’d been seeing each other since 2015.

They tied the knot in 2017 but split 20 months later. Back then, their reason was vague “personality differences.”

The new claim brings fresh heat to an already public breakup.
