On July 7, the actress shared in an interview that it was Hyun Bin’s physical attributes and mannerisms that initially drew her towards him.

“Many people meet, start dating, get married. That’s what happened too. Hmm… It’s just destiny. People kept saying we resemble each other, and I’ve never really thought of myself as looking like another person. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought we’re a bit similar,” she explained. The actress also highlighted that working together on two projects helped deepen their bond, describing Hyun Bin as intelligent, genuine, and handsome.

Their love story, a favorite among K-drama fans, began on the set of the 2018 film The Negotiation, where they played adversaries in a high-stakes scenario. This connection was further cemented during the filming of the highly popular drama Crash Landing on You in 2019.

“We worked together on 2 projects, which I liked a lot. How should I say this… he is smart. He is upright and rational. He is not a person who presents himself in a package, you get what you see. And… it was also the appearance. He’s handsome and tall, and he’s reliable,” she continued.

Despite the common occurrence of actors dating within their industry, the actress had not anticipated it for herself but embraced it when it happened. On January 1, 2021, after much speculation and hope from fans, Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin confirmed their relationship publicly. They celebrated their love with a private wedding ceremony on March 31, 2022, attended by family and close friends, and welcomed their son in November of the same year.

Reflecting on their journey, Son Ye Jin admired Hyun Bin’s straightforwardness and reliability, which solidified their deep connection.
