Actress Song Hye-kyo shared a calm glimpse of her daily life on October 21, 2026, posting several photos of herself with cats on her social media account. The same day, her former husband, actor Song Joong-ki, drew attention after a fan overseas mentioned Song Hye-kyo's name during an encounter.

What happened with Song Joong-ki?

According to reports, Song Joong-ki was on an overseas schedule and greeted fans on the street with a bright expression. During the interaction, one fan shouted that he was "the man married to Song Hye-kyo." Reports said Song Joong-ki visibly frowned at that moment.

How did netizens react?

According to reports, many Korean netizens sympathized with Song Joong-ki, saying that it must be uncomfortable to hear his ex-wife's name even though he already has two children with his current wife. Others said the fan's comment was thoughtless.
