Hyun Bin enters marines, splits with Song Hye-gyo

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Hyun Bin (Secret Garden) entered the marines yesterday-today (That’s what I call Korea’s yesterday, which is our today. Don’t get me started on the tomorrow-today, which is ass backwards and not unlike time travel), to begin his two-year mandatory military service. He was sent off with lots of fans and the accompanying media frenzy, and shed tears of gratitude as he said goodbye and entered the base. And then about eight hours later, news broke that he had split with girlfriend Song Hye-gyo (Full House, The World They Live In).

The two stars met on the 2008 drama The World They Live In, and have been dating for roughly two years. Speculation about their breakup has been circling the media for almost a year, since both of them have spent the better part of 2010 completely entrenched in a myriad of projects, many of which were filmed overseas (Hyun Bin’s Late Autumn in Seattle, Song Hye-gyo’s The Grandmasters in China). But they’ve stayed quiet about the relationship for some time, and it was announced that Song Hye-gyo would not be accompanying Hyun Bin to the marine base.

It turns out that they purposely waited until after he entered the army to make the announcement public, so as to keep the public’s focus on their respective projects rather than their relationship. Personally, I think it’s a smart move. They’ve been dodging breakup speculation for a while, and if this news had broken even one day earlier, Hyun Bin’s entire army sendoff would’ve been about this, and not a tearful-but-happy goodbye.

Statements released indicate a mutual breakup due to busy conflicting schedules, and outside stress and pressure concerning their relationship status. Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and say that it’s not unwarranted. But hey, you’re Hyun Bin and Song Hye-gyo. Whadduya gonna do?

This doesn’t come as a shocker since everything about their diverging careers screamed we are broken up, and mostly what I’m taking away from all this is that Hyun Bin has got some seriously savvy management. He’s basically done every single thing right, just before his army duty. Hit drama? Check. Massive CF lineup? Check. Big sendoff? Check. Amicable split with girlfriend announced the day after so that every woman turns into a puddle of goo imagining how lonely and heartbroken he is, entering the army? Check.

We’ll miss ya, Binnie. See you in two.

I really like them as a couple. But that's bound to happen, as is usually the case to other stars who went in the military.

I wish them both well.

I went to different korean sites and Song Hye Kyo getting some criticism on the net which is totally unfair in my opinion. They are saying that SHK dated lots of actors
and...what's kinda said is that...she lost her dad when she was little so...they are assuming that's why she must have problems with men.

It's kinda unfair if you were Song Hye Kyo fan.. after sam soon..all of hyun bin's projects bombed his ratings were so low...people couldn't understand why he got parts

He received most of interest for being song hye kyo's bf...

On taxi he said he was dating but...they've been broken up but...he lied because he didn't wanna lose CF's he denied breaking up...before all the CFs were done
Part of the this kinda thing is actually his agency..jang dong gun's connection to media they print many lies...
like yesterday..they said 10000 fans came at hyun bin's entrance to military but the marines said 700 people showed up.

From the beginning till the end its only HB and his management who said they were on and now they were off. HB also talked. SHK almost never say a words. Now she has to face the whole break up matter by her self? What a mean guy!!! I love HB less now. If he already keep quite why dont he keep it quite till another 2 years? while he can be chased, and followed by reporter who want to ask why they brook up? Mean!!!! SHK fighting!

It was a statement released by both their management August 5th 2009. In that report by SportChosun SHK's management was approached first and admitted to it, the reporter said then they went to HB's management for a confirmation, and got that as well.

And as far as I know, this breakup statement is also approved by both management. I doubt with SHK's status as a power player in the industry, if she doesn't want it to be released, it can see the light.

So, in fewer words, calm down and be rational. You can like ppl less or so forth, but what you've stated r untruths.

It's not that they reported 10K fans turned up ! The article came out about a couple of days BEFORE Binnie was enlisted on the 7th, and the media SPECULATED that they expect about 10,000 fans to descend at the army base Pahong to send off their fav man ! Do read more carefully....?

About the "lying" in that Taxi Show..... i believe the management team did come up with an explanation for this too ? Talk about splittng hair.... and SHG is not even complaining, LOL.

Anyway..... all these are so much like a storm in the proverbial teacup? Hopefully the 2 celebs concerned do not get to read all these petty trifles which could somehow appear like so much mindless viciousness, heheh.

Stay healthy Binnie! Fighting - will see you in two years time.

And about the split-up, err, there goes the saying "where there's smoke, there's fire"... rumors of their split has been brewing since last year, so I'm not surprised. It's just a matter of proper timing, and I think their management did a good and pretty calculated timing on the split-up announcement.

Breakups/splits is not a feast - I hope the media will take it easy on these two.

Waaa . . . I'm still surprised despite all the rumours that has been floating around. Really thought they could work out their busy schedules and made it till the end. Is it possible it's just a publicity stunt to give them (especially SHK, since HB will be in the marines) some peace and quiet and get people to focus on her work and not her relationship (at least for the next two years) *wishful thinking

This breaks my heart, but then again why do I get the feeling this could be a publicity stunt as in they are only broken up since he's going off in the army and they have conflicting schedules. I wouldn't be surprised if they get back together in the near future.

I'm sad it didn't work out for them, but with the added pressures of being a celebrity in the spotlight, it makes having a relationship even harder. Perhaps they will reconnect again after his military service, but i'm sure they will stay amicable

I am sad knowing the breakup and both probably going through a major heartbreak but who knows what will happen in the future. It would be an unselfish thing Hyun Bin's could do for Hye Kyo's sake in letting her go and not let her wait for him for two years . After all she's a beautiful woman and have no shortage of hopeful suitors. If they still have feelings for each other , maybe they'll get together again. It is a matter of fate.

This is so sad ...
They are my favourite couple.
It must be so hard for both of them especially Hye Kyo.
From what I heard, it was really tough year for her carreer. She spent months working in China, and two of her movies got cancelled. One of them due to copyright, and the other , they cut out her scenes for unknown reason T.T
They already hadn't got much time to spend with each other . Hyun Bin is too busy as well and his popularity is skyrocket this year thanks to Secret Garden. He didn't have time to stay by Hye Kyo when she had difficult time . This girl looks weak from the outside, but she is indeed a strong girl.
And the worst reason is the attack from media ( crazzzzzy media), netizens and antifans . I heard that Hye Kyo received lots of blackmails from antifans, mostly from over obsessed Secret Garden fans. They threatened her and told her to break up with Hyun Bin so he could have a chance with Ha Ji Won .Wtf. Those fans are so crazy and cruel.
Poor both of them. Gosh , cant they leave them alone?

But , in my opinion, their break up is actually not a bad thing either.
All the pressure from media and netizen will be lessen b/c Hyun Bin entered the marine.
And you never know what happened 2 years later right?
They might just have a short break adn go back and marry each other 2 yrs later.

You know sometimes when you love someone so much. You don't want them to wait for you for yrs and suffer from all the unwanted attentions.
There was a fortuneteller said that this two will end up will the end as how the drama The World you live in. The couple in the drama broke up few times but they still end up marry each other in the end.
Because they love each other so much.

I wish them both the best.
I hope that two year later, we will heard the marriage announcement between this two ~
I believe that true love is existed in this world~

And, major props to his ex for not announcing their break-up back in Jan..that just indicates she's not petty/craving for attn. and perhaps them possibly getting back together after his return?!

NETCITIZENS will pity SONG more n condemned BIN and JI WON turning this into messy scandalous cheating affair. HOw did HJW climbed up to b famous n popular fleshing thru scandalous way before her debut. It was SGARDEN that lead to their relationship downfall with the HB-HJW shipping now N they are screaming "HURRAY" binkyo IS DEAD LONG LIVE BINHA??? GONE WITH THE WIND FOR HB N HJW RESPECT!!

It was not Ha Ji Won! They had remained silent for a year which you can hint as something to do with breaking up already. If it had to do anything with Ji Won would Hyun Bin be so stupid to leave his recently found love for two years????
Ha Ji Won NEVER EVER used scandals to gain success. In fact she is among the actresses with low profile and highly anticipated talents. Many of her costars have praised her personality and her sense of humanity.
Song Hye Kyo is a beautiful actress and i admit it. But she is famous for her styles and beauty. Her acting is usually criticized.
Dont blame anyone when a relationship ends. If the relationship is weak and feeble, it is always bound to break apart. As for the shipping, well it happened the same when there was "What Happened in Bali" with Jo In Sung and the same thing repeated with Jang Geun Seok and Kim Jae Won in "Hwang Jin Yi". If there really is love, than Binha will definitely happen, or else, like every on screen couples, they will remain only in fan videos.

Their relationship wasn't meant to be so that goes another room for us fans to be in the queue for his freedom LOL. Yday we're talking about SSH having no partner, now it's HB who'd be looking when he comes back! We'll miss you Binnie ssi & take care! See you in 2012!

till SG, I was not content with these OLD copule (ohh feels good) and since SG I'm dying for HB-HJW. please pay attention! not only their characters on the drama but themselves. especially, I died every time I saw their off-screen chemistry. and I've been praying for that break-up every night (yes, I'm insane). now, I've more hopes than before.

maybe it's a childish fan view but I find SHG too cold and irritating.

ohhh anyway, I'm so happy
