Son Ye Jin Shares Candid Behind-the-Scenes Story from Inevitable
Beloved actress Son Ye Jin is finally making her much-anticipated return to the big screen with the upcoming film Inevitable. At a recent promotional event, the actress—admired worldwide for her elegance and sincerity—shared a lighthearted behind-the-scenes story that left both fans and cast members in laughter.
Feeling Like a Rookie Again
After stepping away from acting for several years to focus on family life with her husband, actor Hyun Bin, Son Ye Jin admitted that returning to film felt like starting over.
“I felt like a rookie all over again,” she confessed with a smile. She observed her co-star Lee Byung Hun closely, curious about his approach and eager to immerse herself in her character, Mary.
Months of Dance Practice—For Nothing?
The highlight of her story, however, wasn’t about acting—it was about dancing. With a playful grin, Son Ye Jin revealed that she had spent nearly two to three months practicing a dance sequence for the movie, training for hours every day to perfect each move.
But when the final cut of the film was complete, every single dance scene had been removed. “What? But I really practiced a lot!” she recalled saying, half serious, half joking. The director teased her, laughing: “Wow, I saw you worked hard—but it didn’t feel like that much.”
The humorous exchange had the audience in stitches, and even Son Ye Jin admitted she was amused, despite all her effort ending up unseen.
Director’s Praise
Director Park Chan-wook, known for his meticulous eye, quickly stepped in to clarify: “That’s not true—her role is far from small. In the second half, she completely dominates the screen. She starts subtle, but then transforms powerfully.”
His words reassured fans that Son Ye Jin’s performance would be a standout moment in the film, dance scenes or not.
Balancing Stardom and Family Life
For many, seeing Son Ye Jin back on screen is not just about another project—it’s about witnessing an actress who continues to evolve while balancing her personal life. Fans have often noted how Hyun Bin must feel proud of her, as she gracefully manages the dual roles of being a loving wife and mother while still delivering her best as a performer.
With Inevitable already creating buzz, Son Ye Jin’s candid story has only heightened anticipation. Her honesty, humor, and dedication remind audiences why she remains one of Korea’s most admired stars.
