SOUTH KOREAN stars Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo are parting ways.

Attorney Park Jae-hyun, representing Song Joong-ki, confirmed the news Thursday in an official press release: “On behalf of Mr. Song, our law firm has filed a divorce application June 26 at Seoul Family Court. In addition, we would like to convey the official statement of Mr. Song.”

In the statement, the actor delivered apologies to his fans: “I’m sorry to announce this unfortunate news to many fans who love and care for me. I have already proceeded with the divorce proceedings with Song Hye-kyo. Instead of criticizing each other, I hope the divorce process can be settled amicably. I ask for your understanding that it is difficult to tell you about my personal life, and I will recover from this current wound and do my best to repay you with good productions in future.”

Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo also relayed her side. According to United Artist Agency, unable to overcome their irreconcilable differences in terms of personality, the mutual decision was made inevitably. “The other details are private lives of both actors,” the agency added.
