Early life and education;

When Song was born, she was so ill that her parents and doctors thought that she would not survive. Upon her recovery, Song's parents registered her birth on February 26, 1982.

Song's parents divorced when she was a young girl, after which she was raised by her mother.They moved from her birthplace in Daegu to the Gangnam District in Seoul, where she trained as a figure skater in elementary school but quit when she was in the eighth grade. Song considered herself shy and introverted, but when she attended Ewha Girls' High School she was described by her high school teacher as having a "cheerful character, she mixed well with her friends and was always in a bright mood."Song Hye-kyo attended Sejong University, where she majored in Film Arts.

Personal life;

On July 5, 2017, Song and Descendants of the Sun co-star Song Joong-ki announced through their respective agencies that they were engaged.They married in a private ceremony on October 31, 2017, at Youngbingwan, Hotel Shilla in Seoul, amid intense media interest across Asia.The ceremony was attended by the couple's closest family and friends, including actors Lee Kwang-soo, Yoo Ah-in, and Park Bo-gum, who also played the piano at the reception.

On June 27, 2019, Song Joong-ki revealed that he had filed for divorce with Song Hye-kyo the previous day. The divorce was finalised in July 2019.

On July 25, 2019, Song filed a complaint against fifteen online netizens for “spread of false information, defamation of character and insult.” While the reason for the divorce was cited by the talent agency as personal differences, rumors surrounding the scandal included claims that Song had entered into a sham marriage for the sake of enhancing her celebrity image. This allegation gained some credence, as it was reported that the actress rarely attended her husband's family events, and that the couple had purchased a $12 million home in Seoul which was never occupied.
