It was a rather messy breakup which included lies and heavy accusations between the two stars that were backed up with a year's worth of chats and messages.
In the same year, Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun deleted all of their photos on their social media accounts to prevent unnecessary issues and controversy regarding their divorce.
2. Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo
The couple that broke millions of hearts: Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, the "Song-Song Couple."

The two actors perfectly acted as each other's love interests in the megahit series "Descendants of the Sun," where they became one of the most loved couples in television history.
When the two announced their marriage plans in 2017, many fans rejoiced. Song Joong Ki proposed to Song Hye Kyo in Japan in 2016, and married each other the following year.

Regrettably, Song Joong Ki revealed his plans to divorce his wife in June 2019 after 20 months of marriage.
On the other hand, Song Hye Kyo found out about her husband's divorce plans through the media, signifying the couple's crumbling marriage.
Groundless rumors enveloped the Song-Song Couple's split, including cheating accusations and extramarital affairs.

In spite of it all, their divorce was surprisingly quick. They also revealed that their marriage fell apart due to opposing personalities and interests.
In addition to that, their 12 million USD mansion was demolished this 2022, making it more painful to rewatch "Descendants of the Sun."
3. Hwang Jung Eum
The "She Was Pretty" star was once living a fairy tale-like life as she married the former professional golfer and businessman Lee Young Don in 2016.

It was said that the married couple filed for a divorce by mediation due to their endless fights and obvious differences.
Thankfully, her company helped her negotiate through the divorce smoothly. Because of this, the couple decided to fix their marriage and continue living together, unlike other celebrity couples.

In 2017, the two happily welcomed their second child. Unlike the first two couples, Hwang Jung Eum and her husband compromise and continue their relationship, proving how love and romance are not perfect either way.
