Hyun Bin’s Drunken Confession and Son Ye-jin’s Motherhood Journey: A Rare Glimpse into Korea’s Most Beloved Couple
From Drama Royalty to Real-Life Family: Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin Let Fans In
For years, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin have captivated audiences with their unforgettable on-screen chemistry in Crash Landing on You—but their real-life love story has proven even more powerful. Married in 2022 and now parents to their son affectionately known as Al Kong, the BinJin couple is slowly opening up about their life behind closed doors.
In a series of candid moments, including one charming drunken confession, the couple has shown that their journey from co-stars to soulmates is filled with laughter, love, and learning.
Son Ye-jin on Motherhood: “Everything Changed After Al Kong”
In a rare interview, Son Ye-jin reflected on how motherhood has transformed her.
“Giving birth and raising a child for more than two years changed everything,” she shared.
“I used to be consumed by work. Now, I find joy in the smallest things—like watching my son eat well.”
Known for her elegance and poise, Son Ye-jin revealed how becoming a mother helped her slow down and appreciate the quiet beauty of everyday life. From the high-pressure world of acting to diaper duty and bedtime stories, the actress has embraced a new identity: Mom first, star second.
Hyun Bin on Love, Growth, and Fatherhood: “I’m Becoming More of an Adult”
While typically private about his personal life, Hyun Bin surprised fans with an emotional look into his transformation as a husband and father.
“When you’re dating, you stand equally. After marriage, you take a step back. When the child is born, you step even further,” he said.
“I’m becoming more of an adult by putting myself aside and protecting what matters.”
Hyun Bin also spoke about how filming the historical movie Harbin made him realize just how much he relied on Son Ye-jin during his absence.
“I was lonely while filming Harbin, but I knew she must’ve been even lonelier taking care of our baby alone. After filming, she just said, ‘Well done.’ That gave me so much strength.”
The Viral Moment: “I Love Your Daughter, Sir”
Perhaps the most endearing revelation came from a light-hearted afterparty, where a slightly tipsy Hyun Bin reportedly confessed to Son Ye-jin’s father:
“I love your daughter, sir.”
The confession, though playful, melted hearts and highlighted just how much love and respect he has for both his wife and her family. According to those present, the room erupted in laughter and warmth.
Hyun Bin later added that he considers Son Ye-jin a “heavyweight” in life—not in stature, but in strength—and affectionately referred to their son Al Kong as “a prince.”
From Private Icons to Proud Parents
Although the BinJin couple has always been known for their discretion, they now seem more open to sharing these personal moments—not for publicity, but out of gratitude for the fans who have supported their journey.
“I want to show our movies to our son one day,” Hyun Bin shared.
“From Negotiation to Crash Landing on You, he should see both mom and dad’s work.”
