Son Ye-jin Opens Up About Her Love Story with Hyun Bin on YouTube
Seoul, South Korea — In a rare and candid interview on Yang Ji-hyang’s YouTube channel, beloved actress Son Ye-jin gave fans an intimate look into her real-life romance with husband Hyun Bin. From their first meeting to the joys of family life and motherhood, the star’s heartfelt words have touched fans around the world.
From Co-stars to Lovers
When asked about how their love first blossomed, Son Ye-jin fondly recalled her early encounters with Hyun Bin. The two first crossed paths while working together on the 2018 crime thriller The Negotiation. At the time, their interactions were brief.
“It wasn’t until Crash Landing on You that we truly reconnected,” she shared. The 2019–2020 global hit drama became the turning point, allowing the pair to spend more time together and deepen their bond.
Son Ye-jin admitted that while many assume sparks flew instantly, their romance actually grew gradually. “There wasn’t a specific moment when I suddenly realized I loved him. It just built up over time,” she explained.
Building a Relationship on Kindness and Comfort
Reflecting on their working days, she recalled spending time together during promotional events for The Negotiation. “I was sitting below, he was sitting above, and we talked a lot on the bus. Hyun Bin was always genuinely kind,” she said with a smile.
Their relationship, she emphasized, was not about sudden passion but a steady, comforting connection. “We didn’t meet often, but every time we did, I felt comfortable with him. That comfort grew into love.”
Marriage and the Joy of Parenthood
Since marrying in 2022, the couple has welcomed their first son, who has now become the center of their lives. Son Ye-jin openly admitted how profoundly motherhood has changed her perspective.
“When you’re busy, sometimes you barely have time to eat together,” she said. “But when we do, we realize how much love we share, especially now with our son. The love of a child is incomparable—it’s a different kind of happiness from being lovers or even husband and wife.”
A Love That Continues to Grow
The actress concluded the interview by stressing the importance of making time for each other, no matter how busy their schedules get. “Our deep connection comes from simply finding moments together and always choosing love,” she said.
Her candid words have since gone viral online, with fans praising the couple for their sincerity and respect for one another. Known affectionately as the “BinJin couple,” Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin continue to inspire millions with their real-life fairy tale romance.
