Representatives of Hye Kyo, however, said the actress has yet to receive a personal apology from "Section TV" for the breach. The TV couple was allegedly in Bali for a work-related trip but fans believed they were on a romantic getaway.
The couple made an effort to hide this trip from the public by coming to Bali with their own entourage and on separate dates. Hye Kyo was allegedly on the Indonesian islands with friends from June 4 to 15 and Joong Ki was in town from June 7 to 13.
As the rumors heated up, Blossom Entertainment issued a clarification that Joong Ki was in Bali to promote "The Battleship Island." UAA, on the other hand, issued a statement saying Hye Kyo went to the island for a project meeting. "[She did] not to meet Song Joong Ki," a spokesperson said.
The "Descendants of the Sun" stars continue to be romantically linked even as the show already ended in 2016. Joong Ki and Hye Kyo, meanwhile, continue to deny the rumors as they keep professing they're just friends.
