Korean actress Son Ye-jin shares a touching Instagram post revealing life with husband Hyun Bin and their son, ahead of her big screen return in “No Other Choice.”
A Glimpse Behind the Glamour: Real Life with Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin
On August 5, beloved Korean actress Son Ye-jin took fans by surprise with a touching and candid Instagram update. Instead of red carpet glam or a film teaser, she posted something more intimate — a video of toddler underwear drying in the sun. The post quickly went viral, not just for its simplicity but for what it symbolized: the everyday chaos and beauty of parenting.
"Summer vacation was so much fun that the kid’s underwear couldn’t dry in time.
Finally, it’s over. My busy schedule begins today, but somehow my heart feels peaceful."
This lighthearted caption came with hashtags that told their own story:
#innerpeace #vacationover #cantstopsmiling #toohappytohandle #daddyhadithardest
The final tag, “daddy had it the hardest,” instantly had fans speculating — and smiling — with most assuming it referred to Hyun Bin, her husband and the father of their son.
Hyun Bin: From Movie Star to Super Dad
Known for his roles in Crash Landing on You and Confidential Assignment, Hyun Bin is now winning hearts for a very different reason — being a full-time father during their summer family vacation.
Fans reacted warmly to Son Ye-jin’s playful yet touching post, praising Hyun Bin for embracing fatherhood with such dedication:
“From fighting villains to fighting diaper disasters — Hyun Bin is the ultimate hero!”
“Daddy duties never looked so good.”
It’s moments like this that show fans the softer, more personal side of the A-list couple.
Son Ye-jin’s Comeback Film to Open the Busan International Film Festival
Alongside her parenting updates, Son Ye-jin is also making a major return to cinema. Her new film, No Other Choice, will open the 30th Busan International Film Festival this September — a symbolic comeback for the actress who took a break from acting to focus on motherhood.
In the movie, Son Ye-jin plays Mi-ri, a woman navigating family collapse after her husband loses his job. Starring opposite Lee Byung-hun, this emotional drama showcases her trademark depth and quiet strength.
Festival director Kang Han-seok praised her performance:
“Son Ye-jin gives this story its heartbeat. Her return reminds us why we go to the movies — to feel something real.”
Why the World Still Loves the BinJin Couple
Since tying the knot in 2022 and welcoming their son later that year, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin have carefully balanced public fame with private family life. Rarely showing their child’s face or sharing intimate details, they’ve instead chosen to reveal glimpses — like the now-iconic drying underwear post — that feel honest and relatable.
It’s this down-to-earth image that keeps fans loyal and deeply invested in the couple’s journey.
Conclusion: Stars, But Still So Human
Through everything — acting breaks, comeback films, diapers and drying racks — Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin remain one of Korea’s most beloved couples. Their love story isn’t just about fairy-tale weddings and on-screen chemistry; it’s also about shared responsibility, family laughs, and enduring through life’s beautiful mess.
So here’s to the #daddyhadithardest summer, to Son Ye-jin’s graceful return to film, and to a couple who shows us that love grows strongest in the most ordinary moments.
