On the morning of September 27, Sports Chosun reported that Son Ye Jin had unexpectedly become a hot topic on South Korean social media after liking a post about her husband Hyun Bin’s drama. Notably, the post compiled negative reactions from viewers toward the ending of Made in Korea 2, which stars Hyun Bin in the leading role.
Ever since they began dating, Son Ye Jin has consistently been a strong supporter of Hyun Bin, frequently showing support for her husband’s acting projects. That is precisely why many were puzzled when the actress suddenly liked a post containing numerous critical comments about his drama. On online forums, viewers began wondering about the real reason behind Son Ye Jin’s unusual move, with some even questioning whether something might be going on between the couple.
Opinions are currently divided over Son Ye Jin’s unexpected like. Some believe the Crash Landing on You star simply tapped the like button by accident. “She probably liked it unintentionally. There’s no deeper meaning,” one comment read. Another suggested, “Maybe she just saw a photo of her husband and automatically hit like.”
At the same time, many fans stressed that Son Ye Jin liking the post could simply mean that she was unhappy with the ending of Made in Korea 2, rather than indicating any problem in her marriage. Many viewers themselves had expressed frustration with the director’s decision to have the male lead, Baek Ki Tae, played by Hyun Bin, die at the end of the series.
As of now, Son Ye Jin has not publicly addressed or clarified the social media like that has sparked widespread discussion.
Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin first worked together in the 2018 film The Negotiation. Their positive impressions of each other from their first meeting eventually helped their relationship develop further. Hyun Bin apparently made a particularly favorable first impression on Son Ye Jin. The actress once openly praised him, saying, “His skin and hair are so beautiful. They’re so good that they make me, and probably other women too, jealous.”
Hyun Bin, meanwhile, had a different impression of Son Ye Jin after meeting her for the first time. The actor recalled, “Because we first met for work, I thought she would only focus on acting. But I was surprised by how friendly and easy she was to talk to. That’s why we became close so quickly.” Hyun Bin also revealed that one of the reasons he signed on for The Negotiation was because he knew Son Ye Jin would be appearing in the film.
However, Hyun Bin emphasized that he and Son Ye Jin did not begin dating while filming The Negotiation. The actor, born in 1982, said their romance actually developed around the time they worked together on Crash Landing on You in 2019. “It’s a little difficult to pinpoint exactly when it started. We talked a lot while filming. After filming ended, we met several times for promotional activities and also shot commercials together. Things just developed naturally from there,” he explained.
After dating for around two years, the A-list couple held a lavish wedding in March 2022, much to the delight of fans. The ceremony took place in a venue that looked straight out of a fairy tale and featured a star-studded guest list resembling a major awards show. It became one of the most talked-about celebrity events in Asia during the first half of 2022.
Gong Hyo Jin, Song Yoon Ah, Lee Min Jung, Uhm Ji Won, Lee Jung Hyun, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona, Ji Jin Hee, Jang Dong Gun, Ahn Sung Ki, Song Joong Ki and many other stars attended the high-profile wedding. The sight of so many A-list celebrities gathering and taking commemorative photos together was so spectacular that it could easily have been mistaken for the scene of a major entertainment awards ceremony.
