Before Song-Song couple: Song Hye-kyo’s other lovers and rumoured romances, and is she now dating Park Bo-gum?

K-drama fans were in shock when top stars Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo filed for divorce earlier this year. It was only 20 months after the couple had tied knot in a luxurious wedding ceremony held at Shilla Hotel Seoul in October 2017, with blessings from world celebrities such as Zhang Ziyi and Korean stars including Choi Ji-woo, Park Bo-gum and Yoo Ah-in.

Dubbed Song-Song couple, the two met in 2016 as the hero and heroine in the KBS2 drama Descendants of the Sun. Fans praised their marriage because the lovers looked even more beautiful in reality than in the drama. Korean media said the ceremony was the most beautiful wedding, and K-drama fans believed Song Joong-ki would be Song Hye-kyo’s last man.

However, the fans’ hopes were dashed. The couple’s divorce was confirmed in August as the court approved Song Joong-Ki’s petition without a trial on the condition of mutual consent.

In addition to Song Joong-ki, Song Hye-kyo counts Hyun Bin and Lee Byung-hun as her lovers, both Korean actors who starred with the actress in two dramas.

Hyun Bin

Hyun Bin and Song Hye-kyo met in KBS2 drama The World They Live In in 2008. The drama depicted a television channel producer’s work and life, focusing on the professional’s rivalries and friendships in the fast-paced industry. Song and Hyun starred as the two leading characters, both playing television drama show producers.

Despite rumours of their dating since the drama was on air, the couple didn’t officially acknowledged their relationship until August 2009. However, their agencies, AM Entertainment and Eden Nine Entertainment, said the lovers broke up before Hyun went for national military service in March 2011.

Lee Byung-hun

Lee Byung-hun, one of Korea’s top actors, is Song’s first publicly-acknowledged boyfriend and arguably her most famous ex-boyfriend.
