'Descendants of the Sun' stars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's official statement on their relationship and upcoming wedding

Song Joong Ki (31) and Song Hye Kyo (35), leads of the hit Korean drama Descendants of the Sun, released an official statement regarding their relationship and sudden wedding news. In a letter to their fans, the two told their story on how they fell in love.

Song Joong Ki wrote to his fans:

"It’s been a long time since I greeted you guys. I’m writing this because I want to receive your blessings before anyone else. I am truly nervous as I am writing this but I wish to tell you guys my true feelings.

I was recently able to be part of a drama that made me shine brighter than ever before and I enjoyed the happiest days of my life because of your tremendous love I received from everyone. After the drama, I gained another precious friend who I shared my honest feelings with, and we developed a loving relationship.
 
At the start of 2016, we promised to spend the rest of our lives together by understanding each others’ weaknesses and helping each other through harsh times. So I will be starting a new life with Miss Song Hye Kyo through our wedding on the last day of October 2017.

Furthermore, there were many parties involved in the making of the movie and many were looking forward to the release date of this movie. Because all these factors, I was worried about the possible harm that might come to this project and if I showed a less-understanding self, I apologize."

Song Hye Kyo also conveyed her feelings to her fans:

“Hello, it’s Hye Kyo. It’s been a long time since I said hello to Sunflower. I wanted to share a personal message at the place where I’ve connected with my fans since my debut.

You were probably surprised by my sudden wedding news. I understand that you may think I lacked the respect for my fans and that you could have been shocked, but I hope you can understand me with an open heart.

Joong Ki and I were first co-workers who matched well. Throughout the project, I realized that we had similar values and ideas, and I was able to share everything with him. He was such a good co-worker and friend to me, so we contacted frequently and spent time to get to know each other better. 

Joong Ki showed me his self, trust, and his manners for a long time. I thought to myself that it would be good to spend the future with him and I was glad that he could feel my true emotions as well. That’s when I knew that he was the one.

I wanted to let my fans know first about the marriage but since this matter involves more than just me, I was extra careful about it."

Fans of the reel turned real couple were overjoyed when they found out about the wedding news. The two top Hallyu stars are said to get married this year, at the end of October.
