Nonetheless, if the duo is indeed having a clandestine affair, here are some interesting tidbits.

If Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo are in love but haven’t confessed to one another, it is Song Hye-kyo’s task to take the lead on February 14. This is because South Korea celebrates Valentine’s Day differently.

Unlike the rest of the world, South Korean men are not under pressure to propose or buy gifts for their lady love on Valentine’s Day. It’s the women who take the lead.

Traditionally, the South Korean women gift chocolates to the men they like on February 14. The men take their own sweet time to reciprocate. In fact, as per the Hallyu Valentine’s Day norms, the man has until the March 14 to reciprocate.

On this occasion, also known as White Day, men give candies or special gifts to their love interest.

The women who fail to get a gift from their special someone on March 14 will observe Black Day designated for mourning.

On April 14, the downbeat singles will head to local Chinese restaurants to drown their miseries by eating jjajyangmyeon (black noodles).

These traditions might be dated, but the bitter fact remains that Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo might not get a chance to meet on February 14.

Only time will tell if Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo will join hands.
