Song Hye Kyo posts Instagram photo with photographer Lee Sang Hoon, not new boyfriend

South Korean actress Song Hye Kyo, who has kept a low profile since her 2019 divorce, shared an Instagram picture showing herself and a man wearing matching white T‑shirts and sunglasses. The photo quickly sparked online speculation that the man might be a new romantic partner. The individual was later identified as Lee Sang Hoon, a photographer who has worked with Song on numerous projects and is a longtime friend. Around the same time, Song announced she had ended a 14‑year exclusive contract with agency UAA and moved to a new management company led by Shin Jae Ho, former CEO of AAP. The post and agency change underline a new personal and professional chapter for the actress.

The clarification that the man is a collaborator rather than a boyfriend dispelled rumors and highlighted Song’s continued focus on her career and trusted relationships within the Korean entertainment industry.
