Weibo’s Trending Topic with 70 Million Views: Song Hye Kyo

On May 7th, the 60th Baeksang Awards were held in Korea, bringing together numerous celebrities. Netizens were particularly drawn to Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki among the high-profile attendees. Song Hye Kyo graced the event as a presenter for nominations and awards, while Song Joong Ki was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

The announcement of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki’s joint appearance at an event created a frenzy on social media. Fans from both Korea and China eagerly awaited the reunion and shared their excitement online. According to Sina, the phrase “Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki Attend Baeksang 2024″was the second most popular search topic, with over 70 million views on Weibo.

Chinese internet users also looked back at multiple photos of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki walking the Baeksang red carpet together in 2016. However, as of 4 p.m. today (local time), Song Joong Ki attended the awards ceremony, while Song Hye Kyo was not present on the red carpet.

Despite the fact that their love story began on the set of “Descendants of the Sun”in 2016 and resulted in a grand wedding ceremony in October 2017, the marriage of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki did not last. In 2019, they publicly announced their divorce, with reports stating that Song Joong Ki was the one who initiated the process. This news sparked heavy public scrutiny and malicious remarks aimed at Song Hye Kyo.

After her victory at Baeksang 2023, Song Hye Kyo chose to have a more understated appearance at Baeksang 2024. Instead of making an appearance on the red carpet, the actress only took to the stage to present the awards for Best Actor and Actress in TV. Despite this, netizens were still eagerly anticipating every action from Song Hye Kyo.

She attended the event with both her ex-husband, Song Joong Ki, and ex-boyfriend, Lee Byung Hun. As always, Song Hye Kyo radiated an alluring aura. She wore a slit dress, elegantly displaying her stunning figure and radiant beauty. Despite her brief presence, Song Hye Kyo stood out, almost like the leading star of the event.

Currently, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki are leading separate lives. The actor has remarried actress Katy Louise Saunders and the couple recently welcomed their first son. Meanwhile, Song Hye Kyo is focusing on her career and has chosen to keep a low profile regarding her personal life after her previous marriage ended in divorce.
