Two Korean mega stars getting married could mean the wedding of the decade in terms of star attendance and extravagance but for some reason I sense Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo will have an intensely private and relatively low key wedding. The Descendants of the Sun romantic leads have parlayed the filming of a hit drama that has buoyed both their careers into a double win as well, finding true love on the set and later this year on October 31 they will tie the knot.
Both sides have since released personal statements explaining how each have found the right person, trusting and cherishing their future together. In addition, for once Dispatch looks like the white knight to MBC‘s feverish exposing of the Song-Song relationship the last two weeks, the tabloid announced that it has known about the relationship for some time and even snapped dating pictures of the couple in Japan earlier this year in January but chose not to publish it until now when they have announced their relationship. Dang, Dispatch either has selective morals or someone on the editorial staff is personal friends with either or both Songs.
News media is reporting that the two families have not yet met but will be doing so soon, and Song Joong Ki is renovating his mansion and is expected that the newlyweds to be residing there. Further gossip has the couple dating since filming wrapped for DotS in late 2015, even before the drama premiered in early 2016, which is no surprise since dating rumors have been percolating about these two since the very beginning of their meeting on the filming set. Looks like all their chemistry went into real life and not quite as much onscreen, lol. Speaking of onscreen, the couple’s drama Descendants of the Sun is currently being re-broadcast by KBS at 8 episodes a day as a special tribute after news broke of their engagement.

both family already met, according to allkpop
So that’s why he bought a new house :) I admire Song Joong Ki so much for this. He seems like he wanted to protect SHK. And the note he wrote in his fancafe, it felt really sincere.
friendship goal for all korean celebs who are still single, befriending the editor of dispatch.
yes, i am sour that dispatch play favorites. i still feel sorry for LJG, the timing of dispatch outing his relationship was so bad that it backfired all of his effort to market himself into a non action zone.
@chocola so true. You gotta be in good terms with the guys at dispatch to receive this kind of treatment.I remember when SJK was implicated in PYC case last year.Dispatch was very fast in releasing photographic evidence to prove that he is innocent.The very dispatch that thrives on exposing scandals..Jumping in to defend someone who would have been wrongfully accused.
But for me, they can parade as saints all they want but to me they will forever be in my blacklist for media outlets and are just glorified sasaengs and third rate paparazzi.MBC section TV also goes into my blacklist..what they put song song couple was way too much.No celebritype no matter how popular deserves that amount of harassment just to get them to admit that they are dating.
OMG so many typos I meant what song song couple were put through by mbc was way too much just to get them to admit they are dating.
on the other hand, let's think of it this way... MBC probably disagrees with Dispatch hiding it because of friendship with SHK. MBC is probably friends with someone who Dispatch has outed in the past... hahaha... i can write a drama on it. this is called "Revenge" :-)
Dispatch is despicable and double standard is everywhere in K-ent. LJK has been honest in his interview over his not so good relationship with reporters during his popular days of The King and the Clown. When I watched the interview, I could not blamed LJK for being annoyed with reporters who came to interview him unprepared. And because reporters can do anything, any action even justified could be twisted and turn and paint a bad picture of LJK instead of being accountable to their own unprofessionalism because that's what the public wanted to hear.
I feel bad for him for what happened over his dating news with JHB. He has said it clearly that even if he dated someone, he would deny it and god knows his reason for doing so- he was guarding his personal life. It's the delusional shippers of IU and PMY that went OTT and I bet because he does not have a super good relationship with reporters that they went all out to bring him down.
@chocola OMG I almost missed what you said about my bae JG.I am still salty about that and I will never ever forgive dispatch for that.He worked so hard in my ear candy and I believe PMY and him would have had a very good public friendship.Both would have had a flood of rom com and variety show offers.They were so good.It wouldnt have taken so long for her and him to be cast in a drama. Now all that got ruined because of dispatch's greed.Like the pictures they released were when JG was chubby which was about early 2016.They knew all along but chose to expose their relationship a day or two while everyone was still reeling from his chemistry with PMY.
For the first time in my five or so years of following JG. I have never seen him break down and cry so hard in public(well first time was when he was called to army duty.He was only given two month notice and he had to drop out of both a drama and movie all at once).He has had a few rough patches throughout his career.But no matter what is bothering him,he always wore a happy face and remain positive.But this year at his birthday,he broke down for 3 mins straight(of course part of it was because of a career tribute, that was made for him at a fan meet by the production team and his fans.But I also think he broke down because of all the mayhem that happen as soon as the dating news broke out. Everything from the dating news to the apology letter he wrote was less than two weeks before his birthday, we all knew he was releasing the stress he must have felt at the time).
I will also never forget how much they stalked PSH and LJS.You guys should have seen it.It was hella creepy.We do have these kind of trash tabloid where am at but ive never seen something of this level.I am not very much into K-pop but i cannot tell you how many idols ive seen going into psychological meltdown because of dispatch making actor-idol/ idol relationships out themselves.
I would respect them more if they exposed government scandals or more celebrities who are engaged in criminal activities..or sponsors who are using back handed means or abusing young idols and rookie actors just to let them into the industry.things like that rather than them wasting their energy on dating news.People are more happier like in song song case just to hear marriage confirmation from the couple themselves...the rest like dating is irrelevant.What makes them worse is they only target high profile popular celebrities..you will never see them stalking rookies or unpopular celebrities because they know they will not benefit from them.
I naively at one time thought there was a silver lining to the ickiness of Dispatch and what they did and that is by outing celebrities dating, they were normalizing it which does desperately need to happen. But,no, LJG is one of the few actors whose interviews I will actually bother to read because he's generally been more candid about the ups and downs of his career. I've pretty much assumed he was dating his gal since JG and thought how wonderful for him.
I still can't figure out why Dispatch did that to him. Is it because they thought he was wrong to be on the show even though it was not a dating show? Just to cause a ruckus in his life? I don't know, but he sure as heck didn't deserve it. Truly for his international fans, it doesn't seem to have made much difference at all. But I take it that the situation in Korea was pretty intense for a while.
Somebody said that the editor of dispatch is friends with SHG. Also they are indebted to her bc she help them out in the past.
Some people just have it all. Beauty, money and bow hot guy. They both seems like sweet people so best wishes for them.
Some said that the groom parents aren't keen on the bride being older but it seems SJG really loves SHG. I don't think i heard of rumors with his other costars before. I was hoping him and Moon Chae Won would be a couple. Oh well...
Yeah I heard the parents don't like her age and the fact that she has dated other men publically. Living in the wrong decade much? He's lucky to have A goddess for a Daughter in law. Bet you he would have no problem if he was marrying an 18 year old virgin.
Good for Song Joon Ki for standing his ground and protecting her. I'm liking him more and more.
Agree though I don't think it is true but, if it is, big kudos to him for standing with her and officially announcing to public that she is the one for him . It's rare to see actor getting married at peak of their careers, this shows is sincerity and love towards hyekyo.
Umm What the hell?I hope thats not true.We still have people who think like this in this day and age?I am sure SJK has dated around before meeting SHK so what gives..they are both in their 30s..how many people are still virgins,have never dated before at that age these days..in my country of origin by their age..most will already be by their 3rd child already.Both have done well so far, they should be happy they have such a gorgeous and successful daughter in law.
People really need to stop spreading these rumors. Sports Seoul just "happen" to hear his dad talk about this to friends? Bullshit. And people just believe it because they want to. And you probably read Netizenbuzz for the other unsourced rumor as well.
Talking about posting such a salty and bitchy post
Yes, I totally agree with you! Clearly, the writer harbours some personal vindictiveness regarding the two Songs and SHK especially! So what's her main point? LOL....
I read on other sites that families have already met. I am really happy for them this is truly a wedding of power couple. Eagerly waiting for 31st October. Dispatch is friend with hyekyo that is why they were protecting ss till date and were waiting for their confirmation to release pic. This is news is definitely a shocker for people who are not following ss but not at all surprising for fans who ship them since they saw this coming.
Not even surprised with dispatch playing favoritism since a lot of what I read about Korea is all about connections being a gateway to privilege
there is no way they will set a wedding date without both their parents aproval and also about sjk father not keen on him marrying her because of her age,i dont think its true because the source is unconfirmed.
song joon ki really loves shk soo much for him to marry song hye kyo at the peak of his fame.they both deserve each other and may the lord bless them.
@alexghana Maybe its antis in their real life or even their profession who are spreading those kinds of information.In almost every wedding news, there is always a group of people or person opposed to the wedding for reasons only known to themselves.So they will use any underhanded tricks to disrupt every one's happiness.Like really is SHK lacking in anyway for someone to say things like that?
He's liked her since before he enlisted.It was some kind of fate that he got cast in DoTS after she did and after KES wanted other actors for the role originally. He's not going to let the chance go.
And SJK addressed the "peak of his career" issue it's not something he strives for because he wants a long career, not one with peaks one day and nothing the next.
It doesn't surprise me if SJK's dad is slightly apprehensive about this noona-dongsaeng relationship but he did respect his son's final decision. His son is going to marry one of Hallyu waves biggest goddesses and her whole baggage. Every little step will be scrutinised. Let's hope the media are kind to them and leave them to prepare for their wedding quietly (I genuinely doubt this will happen because both are public people and the witch hunt isn't going to end anytime soon).
SJK is a well-brought up gentleman. I believe his dad would NEVER speak ill of SHK, especially if she's going to be his daughter-in-law. Least of all, his dad is most unlikely to mind her past because obviously his son also has a past and past is over. The future is all that matters! SJK's parents are nice folks and his mum already has good things to say of SHK so those unfounded remarks about JK's dad regarding SHK remains.....UNFOUNDED AND UNVERIFIED.
Expect lots of such unverified and unpleasant comments at this time. Just stick to verified news.
Are you SS spokesperson???
@Rubyred.yes its definitely antis doing.these haters plans will fail miserably.
let no one separates what the lord brings together so haters should beware.why cant some people just be happy for someone else hapiness?
@miss koala.why cant you write an article on song hye kyo without being SARCASTIC for once.everybody knows you are not shk fan but still.....
