On October 21, Son Ye-jin posted several photos on her personal social media account alongside the caption, “I’m happiest when I’m busy cooking and then sitting down to eat together with everyone.”
She continued, “I hope you all eat plenty of healthy and delicious food, too,” adding the hashtags “What should I eat tomorrow?” and “Deciding on the menu.”
The photos featured a variety of homemade dishes that appeared to have been prepared by Son herself. The spread included spicy stir-fried pork, fresh vegetables for wraps, steamed egg, grilled fish, braised short ribs, assorted seasoned vegetables, and kimchi. The dishes were neatly arranged and looked delicious.
The table was filled with an even wider selection of food, ranging from gimbap to squid dishes and various Korean side dishes. Son shared several photos of the abundant spread, expressing the happiness she finds in cooking and enjoying meals.
Her warm portrayal of everyday life, in which she considers cooking for herself and sharing meals with others to be among her happiest moments, struck a chord with viewers.
Previously, Son faced criticism from some online users after posting photos from her travels. Some commented that her casual outfits looked “like an auntie’s fashion,” while many others defended the actress, arguing that people should respect her personal style and fashion preferences.
Last month, she also sparked a debate about dining etiquette after uploading a video of herself eating cheese sticks on her personal account. Some viewers criticized the sounds she made while eating, prompting a discussion about table manners.
As even ordinary moments in her daily life have become subjects of public scrutiny, Son has once again attracted attention by sharing the food she enjoys and the simple pleasures that make her happy.
Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin married actor Hyun Bin in 2022, and the couple have one son together.
