Song Hye-kyo, Song Joong-ki not splitting assets in divorce settlement

K-drama's golden couple is going their separate ways, but they won't be splitting their assets.

There will be no division of property or settlement money, South Korean media reported as Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki's divorce was finalised in court on Monday (July 22).

The actors are said to own assets worth a combined $130 million, with each holding title deeds to several high-end properties in Seoul.

They shocked fans with a sudden announcement in July that they had filed for divorce.

The Song-Song couple's split also sparked cheating rumours that were immediately quashed by their management agencies.

Their love story began when they played an on-screen couple in hit 2016 drama Descendants of the Sun.

The A-list stars then got hitched in a private ceremony at a five-star hotel in Seoul in Oct 2017.

But their fairytale romance came to an end after two years of marriage.

Since the news of the divorce broke, Joong-ki, 33, was said to have taken refuge in filming a new science fiction flick named Victory.

Meanwhile, Hye-kyo has kept up with public appearances at the promotional events of several brands.

The 37-year-old actress, however, has recently said that she will be taking a break from filming.

"I need some time for myself," Hye-kyo revealed at a recent Chaumet event in Monaco.

She'll be keeping her work calendar clear for the rest of the year, except for some appearances at fashion events.
