Song Hye-kyo's parents got divorced when she was young so her grandfather raised her.

TV Josun "Star Talk Show" talked about Song Hye-kyo's family. Her parents are of the same age and they got married at the age of 18th. They had Song Hye-kyo and got divorced 9 years later.

Song Hye-kyo's mother had no friends in Seoul so her father-in-law helped her. He played the father role for Song Hye-kyo and attended her school events and participated in her school life.

Family counselor professor Lee Ho-sun said, "Song Hye-kyo's mother raised her daughter to be independent as she lost her mother at an early age, too".

Song Hye-kyo's mother apparently taught Song Hye-kyo to be able to survive on her own even when her mother disappears one day. She was taught to cook and feed herself since she was young.

Song Hye-kyo didn't have a lonely childhood and got lots of love from her mother who took many pictures of young Song Hye-kyo as well.

When Song Hye-kyo was young, nothing was digital so the effort the mother went through to take film pictures and have them developed shows just how much she loves her daughter.
