In addition, the South Korean heartthrob is reportedly seeing the woman for about a year, whom he met through a common friend.
Song Joong Ki's new girlfriend reportedly attended the media conference of his latest drama "Reborn Rich" during the show's promotional activities in Singapore on December 7.
With this, Song Joong Ki's agency High Zium Studio confirmed that the top star "is currently seeing a woman with positive feelings."

With this, fans took to online communities to express their support for the actress and slammed the media for dragging the actress' name.

Moreover, others say that the actress and other female celebrities always get the "bigger blow and more hate than male idols and male actors" when it comes to dating or moving on from past relationships.
Then, netizens on Twitter came to her defense accusing the media of making assumptions that Song Hye Kyo was "unhappy" about the news regarding Song Joong Ki's new girlfriend.
Instead, fans say that the Hallyu queen is "doing fine" and "winning in life" with all the projects she is getting, especially now that she is starting with her new K-drama.

Interestingly, due to their chemistry, rumor sparked that they were dating in real life. After the series concluded, the duo confirmed their relationship, leading to an engagement announcement.
In 2017, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo got married, but filed for divorce almost 2 years after their marriage.
