Lawyer points out unusual points in Song Hye Kyo's divorce case
Lawyer Kim Nam Gook said that Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki's divorce is not like other artist family breakdowns in Korea.
In an interview with SBS, famous family lawyer Kim Nam Gook gave his opinion on the divorce of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki. He said that Song Joong Ki's announcement of the divorce in the press just one day after filing for divorce was unusual.
“For celebrities, they often ask the press not to report on the divorce until they reach a mutual agreement. Song Joong Ki’s announcement of divorce just one day after filing the papers shows that the actor wants Song Hye Kyo to quickly agree to the agreement,” lawyer Kim Nam Gook analyzed.

A long-time reporter in the Korean entertainment industry believes that Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo may not fully understand each other in their divorce.
“I believe there is a slight difference in the couple’s stance. Song Joong Ki announced his divorce through his lawyer. Then, Song Hye Kyo’s side officially spoke through the management company. It can be seen that Song Joong Ki initiated the divorce proceedings,” said reporter Kim Dae Oh. Kim Dae Oh commented that this July, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki will have many meetings to discuss in court.
On June 28, Channel A reported that Song Joong Ki filed for divorce without discussing it with Song Hye Kyo. The actress only learned the news when she returned from a photo shoot in Thailand the following day.
