Son Ye Jin has recently found herself at the center of several online debates. Most recently, a video she uploaded sparked discussion over the way she ate a cheese stick. Before that, the actress drew mixed reactions over her participation in the R-rated series The Scandal. Some viewers argued that after getting married and becoming a mother, Son Ye Jin should avoid R-rated projects involving intimate scenes with male co-stars. Her frequent sharing of stories about her son has also occasionally attracted unwanted attention.
Despite the noise, Son Ye Jin has continued working and enjoying her life. The actress, born in 1982, recently shared a new series of photos on social media. Wearing a black leather jacket with ripped jeans, she created a casual yet stylish look perfect for the changing season. Son Ye Jin happily posed on the street at night, giving the photos a natural and spontaneous feel.
In particular, Son Ye Jin’s bright smile as she looked into the camera quickly won over fans. After praising her smile, beauty and effortless presence, many followers began asking the same question: “Did your husband Hyun Bin take these photos for you?” For the past several years, Hyun Bin has jokingly earned the nickname of his wife’s “personal photographer.” Fans began calling him that after Son Ye Jin repeatedly shared beautiful everyday photos of herself that were taken by none other than her husband.
Although Hyun Bin clearly puts effort into photographing his wife, his skills have not always escaped Son Ye Jin’s playful criticism. The actress once jokingly complained, “I asked my husband to take a photo that would make me look taller, but I think he just made the photo itself look longer.” Even so, she proudly shared the picture he took on social media, showing plenty of affection for her husband’s efforts.
Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin first worked together in the 2018 film The Negotiation. The positive impressions they formed of each other during their first collaboration eventually helped their relationship develop further. Hyun Bin reportedly made a strong first impression on Son Ye Jin, who once openly praised him by saying, “His skin and hair are so beautiful. They’re so nice that they make me, and probably other women too, feel jealous.”
Hyun Bin, meanwhile, remembered something different about Son Ye Jin from their first meeting. He shared, “Because we first met through 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 quickly became closer.” Hyun Bin also revealed that one of the reasons he signed on for The Negotiation was because he knew Son Ye Jin would be part of the project.
However, Hyun Bin emphasized that he and Son Ye Jin did not begin dating while filming The Negotiation. The actor, also born in 1982, explained that their romance developed around the time they worked together on Crash Landing on You in 2019. “It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when it started,” he said. “We talked a lot while filming. After the drama ended, we met several more times for promotional activities and also filmed commercials together. Things just developed naturally from there.”
After dating for around two years, the A-list couple held a lavish wedding in March 2022, drawing widespread attention and congratulations from fans. Later that year, they welcomed their first son on November 27.
