Song Joong Ki announced that he filed for divorce from Song Hye Kyo on June 26 and just a little over a week since that day, the actress made her first public appearance in China. She showed up at the promotional event for the cosmetic brand Sulwhasoo, which she is endorsing, and people were surprised to see her smiling so brightly.
The event took place on July 7, and all eyes were on Hye Kyo since she never addressed her divorce from Joong Ki and some people are expecting her to show signs of distress or sadness. But contrary to what they were thinking, the actress seems to be coping well, and there is no hint of emotional turmoil at all.
Fans praised the actress
Fans expressed their admiration for Song Hye Kyo after seeing her photos. She was very composed and smiled throughout the event, looking graceful while she carries out her work duties.
“Beautiful as ever,” The Straits Times quoted a fan as saying. “This is how you move on even when other people, especially those whom you thought are closest to you, try to bring you down.”
Joong Ki in good spirits after the divorce
Song Joong Ki seems ready to let go of Hye Kyo as well after his unpublished “smiling” photo surfaced online. As per Koreaboo, the media outlet Sing Tao Daily got a hold of a picture showing the “Descendants of the Sun” actor with his new movie, “The Victory,” co-stars.
It was said that the photo was believed to have been taken on July 5 to mark the group’s first shooting day, but Sing Tao Daily claimed that it was not the case. It was alleged that the photo was taken after Joong Ki, Kim Tae Ri and Jin Sun Gyu watched the “Hot Summer” musical on June 26, the same day when Song Hye Kyo’s ex-husband filed for divorce.
Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo have long been rumored to have called it quits. Barely a year into their marriage, such reports were already cropping up, with some media outlets even claiming that the couple was actually living separately for a long time now.
While there is no confirmation about these reports, it turned out that there could be bits of truths in those write-ups and this was proven by their divorce announcement. Currently, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are aiming for an amicable settlement, and the actor also expressed his wish for the proceedings to end fast so they can both move on from this chapter of their lives.
