In a shock announcement, South Korean celebrity couple Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo, are splitting after being married for less than two years. The pair, who met on the set of Descendants Of The Sun, tied the knot in real life in 2017. The actress’s agency gave a statement on her behalf, attributing the reason behind the divorce to “differences in personality, and because the two were unable to overcome their differences, they were forced to come to this decision”.

“We respectfully ask for your understanding in regards to the fact that we cannot confirm any further details out of respect for the two actors’ personal lives. Additionally, we urge you to refrain from making scandalous posts and speculative comments,” her agency says.
