[@hazeleia]

MTE. I’ve always liked her because she’s so pretty and she was in quite many notable k-dramas, but the way she handled the whole divorce situation and allegations were what made me actually root for her genuinely. She handled it gracefully. Such a queen.

No Nono, she and Song knew the the divorce will show up because he had the girl in U.K. for the wedding sake was too please the family members and businesses members so he divorced her to get out of this whole situation and getting out of South Korea that why she knew the plan ahead after the marriage, so Song got what he wanted

@@Chris-qh5tz when you're a Korean superstar as big and as established as her, it is very, very common to take years between every job. Stable is the name of the game on that level. You saying that SJK is still on the uprise means he was far beyond her level at the time. He still had something to prove. She very much doesn't.

[@Chris-qh5tz]

@@kim06sweet Big and established not because of career achievements but because she started her celebrity career much earlier and was famous for her beauty. Even before DOTS and before he entered the army SJK was insanely popular for his good-looks and he was 대새남 when appearing as Maru on 나쁜남자 and in Werewolf Boy. He didn't have anything to prove because he was already a megastar when he married SHK but his fame skyrocketed due to DOTs in China just like Jeon Ji Hyun's fame sky rocketed from her drama My Love From the Star despite her already being a superstar in Korea. To say Song Joong Ki was NO ONE before he met SHK is ignorance. Oh yeah not to mention he left Running Man when it was probably the most popular Korean variety show at the time due to his skyrocketing popularity way before DOTs.

[@yuukimikys]

He might have reasons however it still didn't feel right.

I’ve also noticed a lot more netizens coming after Song Joongki as of recently. He came under a lot of fire because of a recent interview. He said “Sometimes, being a father, being a husband, that means (you can) lose jobs in this show business. Being a father, having a baby, and being married to a woman, in this business sometimes, looks like losing my job more and more...". And netizens were just stunned. Saying things like “did he give birth or something?” But yeah if Hye Kyo had said something like that she would be crucified. I’m glad she’s doing well now!!

[@simplymulti4]

He's really....... something

[@TheDhanaMC]

While so many cases of female celebrities in Korea stop their career soon after marriage and having children, lol.

[@oyinolubayo7079]

I still don’t get why he was flamed for that tho. He was asked about how it was for HIM, they asked him about himself so why can’t he say what he noticed from a man’s perspective. Ppl acted like he said men go through it harder than women, I mean if he did I would understand the rage, but he didn’t. He spoke about HIS experience and ppl just ran with the headlines of that article. I’m so glad Hye-kyo is doing well,and I’m glad he is too. They have clearly both moved on with their lives and seem to be happy so good for them….if only the fans would move on too.

Judging from how the industry and friends have been rallying around her and how much support she's been getting lately. I would guess they all know she did nothing wrong. Her speech where she said "she is fine" & not to worry about her also says a lot about what she's been through. I admire her a lot for being such a hardworking person.

Hello, she has chosen & picked every Top hottie male stars to play for every drama…all underage , approximately 12 plus years younger…that is why she hits the top of the most popular dramas! Now, we are breaking up lacked a total chemistry & was not so great!! Again it was casting with a hottie. No pressure with her, millions in her skin products. Please, she’s treated like the legend Song Hye Kyo! No hardship, no isolation after the divorcé as she immediately found comfort with other male actors and profited in being showcased in magazines with these males. Loneliness comes only when you share love with others to egotistically & manipulatively showcase yourself. Her rumor is now she is investing time to act with Cha Eunwoo. What do you think?
