Star Couple Restricted from Announcing Divorce News
The KBS drama aired its last episode on September 1. It can be remembered how Song Joong Ki was blamed for poor rating of his drama Arthdal Chronicles as he announced the news of his divorce from Song Hye Kyo when the drama was streaming. This resulted in agencies amending the rules and barring couples from announcing the news of either marriage or divorce when their drama is streaming.
Another couple that finalized their divorce recently was Blood actors Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun. Their divorce was not a smooth affair as actress Goo Hye Sun accused Ahn Jae Hyun of cheating and revealed their personal messages on Instagram. Later the actress apologized for bringing her personal life in front of the public. Ahn Jae Hyun had applied for divorce in September 2019 and it was finalized on July 15.

Irreconcilable differences was said to be the reason behind the split. The couple got married in May 2017. According to reports Jo Yoon Hee has received custody of their daughter.
