As they denied dating rumors, fans across the globe were shocked when they announced their engagement in July 2017. They're highly talked about wedding happened in October of the same year.

"I have begun the process of filing for divorce from Song Hye Kyo. But instead of denouncing one another and arguing who is to blame, I hope that the divorce process can be wrapped up smoothly," he said, further asking their fans' understanding.
