When she was born she was very ill and her parents and the doctor thought she would not be able to survive. After her recovery, her parents registered her birth on February 26, 1982 (instead of her actual birth date on November 22, 1981). Song's parents then divorced when she was very young, and she was raised by her mother all by herself. They moved from her birthplace in Daegu to Gangnam district in Seoul, where she trained as a skater in primary school, but dropped out when she was in eighth grade. She considered herself during that time as very shy and introvert, even though several teacher and classmates during that time completely disagree, they considered her back then as someone cheerful, bright and very expressive.
