"Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo will be holding a wedding ceremony on the final day of October, 2017. A marriage is not only a private matter but also a meeting between two families, so it was a delicate situation in many ways," Blossom Entertainment and United Artists Agency said in their statement (via Soompi). "There was no choice but to be cautious prior to marriage, and so we are at last conveying this message. We ask for everyone's understanding."
To celebrate the wedding news, South Korean television channel KBS Drama aired a marathon of "Descendants of the Sun." The first half was aired on Wednesday, July 5 and the second half on Thursday, July 6.
