Son Ye Jin Opens Up About Motherhood and Her Son’s Striking Visuals
In a recent and much-anticipated appearance on Jeong Jae Hyung’s YouTube show Fairy Jae Hyung, beloved actress Son Ye Jin offered fans a rare and heartfelt glimpse into her life as a mother. The episode, titled “But Your Son Is So Beautiful, Ye Jin: I Guess Genes Can’t Be Helped,” quickly reignited public curiosity about her son with actor Hyun Bin.
“Honestly, the Baby Is Really Beautiful”
The conversation began when Jeong Jae Hyung shared a compliment from actress Gong Hyo Jin, who had often praised the baby’s beauty. He then remarked that Son Ye Jin’s childhood photos looked like those of a child actor, adding, “If your baby resembles you, he must be truly beautiful.”
With a mix of humility and maternal pride, Son Ye Jin responded:
“Honestly, the baby is really beautiful. But because people might later say his visuals are not to that level, I’ll show you his face on my phone so you can judge objectively.”
She then shared private photos and videos, leaving Jeong Jae Hyung genuinely stunned. He admitted, “I usually don’t like babies that much, but he’s really beautiful.”
Beaming with pride, Son Ye Jin emphasized, “And he’s a boy,” highlighting that her son possesses a rare, timeless kind of beauty. She also revealed the shared wish between herself and Hyun Bin: “Normally, people say I hope the baby resembles the father or the mother. But for us, we hope he looks like both of us.”
Emotional Transformation Through Motherhood
Beyond looks, Son Ye Jin opened up about the profound emotional shift motherhood has brought into her life. She admitted that before becoming a parent, she never fully understood when mothers spoke about unconditional love:
“Honestly, I didn’t really like babies either. When I heard mothers say the greatest thing they ever did was giving birth, I would just think, ‘I see,’ but I never imagined I’d feel the same way. My child is something I would never trade for anything—that love is unconditional.”
Her candid confession struck a chord with many fans and mothers alike, offering a deeply relatable perspective.
The Busy Life of a Working Mother
Son Ye Jin also gave insight into her demanding daily routine:
“I work, I have to take care of the baby, manage the household, and since I’m a perfectionist, I have to do everything at once, which makes me really busy.”
Her words highlighted the often-overlooked challenges of balancing a high-profile acting career with the responsibilities of motherhood. Yet, despite the struggles, her honesty conveyed both strength and vulnerability—qualities that continue to endear her to fans worldwide.
A Star, A Mother, A Woman Fans Admire
