There is bad news for fans hoping to see Song Hye-Kyo on television. The buzz on social media is that the beautiful actress may quit acting at least for a couple of years. While she may take up occasional modeling projects for Esprit, Laneige, and Dyson — for which she is the brand ambassador, it will be a while before fans see her in a drama or a movie.
According to a recent report by Straits Times , her fiancé Song Joong-Ki also made it clear that he wouldn’t be acting with her . This was contradictory to what he said last year.
Last June, at a fan meeting in Taiwan , the Hallyu actor was asked if he would act with Song Hye-Kyo. The actor said that he would love to. “If Song Hye-Kyo says it’s okay, I’d like to,” he told his fans in Taiwan.
Both Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo skyrocketed to fame when they paired in the military romance, Descendants of the Sun . This drama gained worldwide recognition and won several awards. Fans were hoping to see Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo in the sequel or the Season 2 of Descendants of the Sun . It remains to be seen if the couple will appear together.
From Song Hye-Kyo’s perspective, it makes sense to quit acting for a while, as she needs time to settle down and plan a family. Both Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo have hinted several times on social media that they love children. In fact, in a recent interview with “W” magazine, actor Song Joong-Ki made it clear that his family takes precedence over his career. He also added that he wanted to be a good husband and a good father.
“Acting is a unique profession. As an actor, it’s important to strike and balance between work and family. Ultimately, I want to be a good father and a good husband,” he said.
So far, actress Song Hye-Kyo hasn’t announced any acting project yet. Actor Song Joong-Ki, on the other hand, is basking in the success of his recently released Korean movie, Battleship Island .
In July, Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo announced their intention to wed. The couple has so far not made a public appearance. Fans of the SongSong couple have been waiting with bated breath to see the couple together.
