South Korean couple Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki finalise divorce, ending romance that began on ‘Descendants of the Sun’


A Seoul court on Monday approved an amicable divorce settlement for the high-profile star couple of the 2016 TV hit series Descendants Of The Sun, bringing an official end to their short-lived fairy-tale marriage.

The 33-year-old actor Song Joong-ki and actress Song Hye-kyo, 37, made headlines when they tied the knot in October 2017 in a lavish ceremony after they starred in the sensational TV drama series, in which Song Hye-kyo played the role of a doctor and Song Joong-ki portrayed a captain in a special forces military unit.
