Song Hye-Kyo Spotted Without Wedding Ring Months Before Divorce Announcement

Song Joong-ki's agency, Blossom Entertainment, was the first to announce the divorce:

First, I'd like to apologize for delivering this unfortunate news to the many fans who love and care for me.

I have begun the process of filing for divorce from Song Hye-kyo.

Rather than denouncing one another and arguing over who is to blame, I hope that the divorce process can be wrapped up amicably.

I ask for your understanding in regards to the fact that it is difficult to discuss the details of my personal life, and I will recover from my current wounds and do my utmost as an actor to repay you through great productions in the future.

Song Hye-kyo's agency, United Artists Agency (UAA) followed with a statement a few hours later:

The reason [for the divorce] is differences in personality and because the two were unable to overcome their differences, they were forced to come to this decision.

According to The Korea Herald, Song Hye-kyo has been spotted without her wedding ring on multiple occasions since early February. She also allegedly deleted photos of Song Joong-ki on her Instagram account.

"Nothing changed too drastically, but I do feel like I've become more emotionally stable as a result. I feel like all married people would understand this feeling," he said according to The Straits Times.
