'Descendants of the Sun' Star Song Hye Kyo Confirms Song Joong Ki Is Just a Brother to Her
"Descendants of the Sun" star Song Hye Kyo recently dismissed rumors that she and co-star Song Joong Ki are in a relationship, saying that she only sees Joong Ki as her little brother. Hye Kyo and Joong Ki are known as the "Song-Song" couple, and fans have been wishing that they make their on-screen relationship real.
Speculations about Joong Ki dating Hye Kyo began to surface when the two were spotted together in New York, months after "Descendants of the Sun" wrapped up. After that, several fans also claimed to have spotted them going out together with friends. Despite the rumors, both camps have kept mum about the issue.
In a recent interview with W Korea magazine, Hye Kyo finally shed some light on the real score between her and Joong Ki. According to the actress, Joong Ki is just like a young brother to her and she does not see him as a future lover.
"These days, I'm close to my label mates Yoo Ah In and Song Joong Ki, who I acted in drama with, but to them, wouldn't I just be an older sister who likes to treat them to food?" she said.
Hye Kyo's revelation has garnered mixed reactions from their fans, especially from the "Song-Song" shippers. Last month, fans were thrilled when Laneige Taiwan congratulated Hye Kyo on her upcoming marriage. While the company did not identify the "oppa" whom Hye Kyo would allegedly marry, many speculated that it was Joong Ki.
Meanwhile, recent rumors suggest that Hye Kyo and Joong Ki actually dated in real life but actor Park Bo Gum, who is Joong Ki's best friend, caused a rift between the two. Joong Ki and Bo Gum have been caught in bromance issues recently, but both actors have always maintained that they are just best friends.
