Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are officially divorced, and this shocked the whole nation and their fans around the world. Their split was revealed in June after the former filed for divorce from his wife and released a statement to apologize to their fans.

It was revealed that Hye Kyo was not in the country (South Korea) when Joong Ki headed to Seoul’s Family Court to apply for divorce and came to know about it when she returned home the next day. She was reportedly overseas to complete a work schedule.

Hate comments start to pour

Song Hye Kyo never commented about her divorce but her agency, United Artists Agency (UAA), released a statement to confirm the actress’ separation from Song Joong Ki. Her side’s note was brief and cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of the breakup.

In response to the statement, fans began attacking the actress, and they posted hate comments. Some people also started to speculate and spread rumors as to why Joong Ki was forced to file for divorce.

Actress will take legal action

As hurtful words are hurled against Hye Kyo and her camp claimed that most of the rumors have been hitting her hard, UAA Korea announced that the actress would go after the people behind the spreading of false reports and leaving malicious comments online. The agency shared that they have started filing formal complaints against people involved.

"On July 25, we filed formal complaints with the Bundang Police Station against numerous suspects for the spread of false information, defamation of character and insult," Koreaboo quoted the agency rep as saying in a statement.

Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo have stopped addressing inquiries about their divorce, especially after the court finalized their separation last month. The once “golden couple” is now single individuals who can marry again in the future.

The pair will not divide their assets or pay alimony so the two will go back to singlehood with their wealth intact. Finally, Song Joong Ki also returns to filming as he has a movie to complete while Song Hye Kyo will take a break after fulfilling all her remaining schedules for this year.
