Fans Stunned as Son Ye Jin Reveals Baby Alkong Looks Just Like Hyun Bin
In a cozy episode of the YouTube talk show Fairy Jae Hyung, hosted by musician Jung Jae Hyung, South Korean superstar Son Ye Jin opened up about her family life with Hyun Bin and their son, affectionately nicknamed Baby Alkong. What followed was a heartwarming and hilarious conversation that quickly went viral, sparking a frenzy among fans worldwide.
Baby Alkong: A Mini Hyun Bin?
During the show, Son Ye Jin described Alkong as looking more and more like his father, Hyun Bin. She joked with playful resignation:
“As he grows, he looks more and more like his dad. He only inherited a few things from me, like my smiling eyes. But those dimples? Definitely from his father.”
This candid remark sent fans into overdrive, imagining a toddler version of Hyun Bin charming everyone around him. Son Ye Jin’s lighthearted lament that Alkong resembles his dad more than her resonated with audiences as a universal parenting moment—endearing, relatable, and utterly heart-melting.
Jung Jae Hyung’s Viral Reaction
When Son Ye Jin showed Jung Jae Hyung private photos and videos of Alkong, the host’s jaw literally dropped.
“Wow, I usually don’t like kids, but your baby is just too adorable!” he exclaimed, visibly shocked.
His stunned reaction became an instant viral moment on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). Netizens speculated just how handsome Alkong must be to elicit such a reaction from someone not typically fond of children.
Other Celebrities Also Impressed
This wasn’t the first time Alkong’s looks left someone speechless. Veteran MC Shin Dong Yup also once marveled:
“I’ve seen Hyun Bin’s son. He’s already so handsome—how can a child’s face be that beautiful?”
With multiple industry figures praising the child’s visuals, fans are convinced Baby Alkong is destined to be a future heartthrob. Comments like “He’s going to be the next-generation K-star” and “With those genes, heartbreak is guaranteed” flooded social media.
A Love Story Like a Drama
The fascination with Alkong ties back to the fairy-tale romance of his parents. Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin first crossed paths in 2011, co-starred in The Negotiation (2018), and finally cemented their on-screen chemistry in the global hit Crash Landing on You (2019).
After years of speculation, their relationship was confirmed by Dispatch on January 1, 2021, and they tied the knot in a glamorous yet intimate ceremony on March 31, 2022. The birth of Baby Alkong on November 27, 2022, marked the beginning of their new chapter as parents.
“Darling” Moment Melts Fans
In one of the sweetest highlights of the show, Son Ye Jin tasted Jung Jae Hyung’s homemade French dessert and immediately wanted to share it with her husband. With a mischievous smile, she looked into the camera and said:
“Darling, I’m bringing some home for you.”
This affectionate remark sent fans into a frenzy, with comments like:
-
“She called him darling on camera, I’m melting!”
-
“They’re the ultimate couple goals.”
The sincerity of her voice coupled with her playful charm reminded fans why the BinJin couple is adored as Korea’s golden pair.
Balancing Privacy and Love
Despite their global fame, Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have carefully shielded Alkong from the media, only offering fleeting glimpses of his life. Yet these rare updates—whether a photo of his hand or a story about his dimples—are enough to send fans into a frenzy.
Son Ye Jin admitted she worries about the pressure of high expectations on her son’s appearance:
“I hope people don’t expect too much,” she said softly, showing her protective instincts as a mother.
Why Fans Can’t Get Enough
What makes their story resonate is its blend of glamour and relatability. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are megastars, yet their playful debates over who Alkong resembles mirror the lives of ordinary parents. Their openness, paired with a fierce commitment to protecting their son’s privacy, has earned deep respect from fans.
As they approach their third wedding anniversary and Alkong’s third birthday, the couple’s love story continues to captivate. From their unforgettable drama to their real-life romance and now their journey as parents, Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin prove that sometimes fairy tales do come true.
