It’s official. The beloved Korean love team Song Hye-Kyo and Song Joong-Ki set the world on a global heartbreak after announcing their plans for a divorce last month. Both actors starred in the 2016 romantic television drama “Descendants Of The Sun,” which started their love story.

The Korean actors cited differences in personalities as one of the reasons that drove to the split. The divorce settlement has been approved by the Seoul Family Court with only the couple’s legal representatives in attendance, the Korea Times reported.

No further details could be disclosed, but the family’s court spokesperson told the Korea Times that it seemed that the couple has already reached an agreement on all conditions long before actor Song Joong-Ki announced the issue in public.

The Song couple reportedly has a combined total of 130 million dollars worth of assets, including high-end luxury properties in Korea.

In an exclusive interview with the Hong Kong Tatler on a visit to Monaco, Song Hye-Kyo reveals her plans for the rest of the year. She’s focusing on self-care and personal time in 2019 and will not engage in other work projects apart from fashion engagements.

“This year, I will take some personal time off,” Song Hye-Kyo told Tatler. “I need to have some time for myself. Apart from events like these, I will take it easy.”

When asked about how she decides the projects she works on, the actress said that projects came her way because they were meant to be. “They happen because the stars align for me, the timing was right,” she said. “Fate comes without any big effort, it just happens.”

She might be working on a big project next year, but nothing has been decided as of the moment. “Let’s see if the stars align,” the actress said.

Song Hye-Kyo is a multi-awarded actress known worldwide for various Korean TV dramas such as “Autumn In My Heart” in 2000 and “Full House” in 2004.

Song-Song charmed the hearts of fans in Asia and around the world when they announced their engagement in June 2017. They married each other through a private wedding ceremony in October 2017 in Seoul.

Meanwhile, Song Joong-Ki is set to star in a science fiction film called “The Victor.” The film is set to start production this July and to debut in theaters in 2020.
