Read about their full love story below…

The Negotiation

Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin may most famously have worked together on Crash Landing On You. Yet, the two first worked together in the 2018 thriller film, The Negotiation.

Since that time, their chemistry has been undeniable…

Not to mention Hyun Bin frequently featured Ye Jin on his Instagram. So, naturally, the two got tangled in dating rumors back then too.

Dating Rumors

At the time, they and their agencies denied the rumors. However, they were spotted together multiple times after filming the movie. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin were even reportedly seen in Los Angeles, California, at a restaurant with her parents. The rumors were soon denied by their respective agencies.

Son Ye Jin is currently vacationing alone. Her parents are currently in Korea.

Rumors only continued to circulate as Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin were spotted grocery shopping together in the United States.

Crash Landing On You

The two got along so well that the two reunited for the beloved K-Drama Crash Landing On You. The connection between the two leads only made viewers ship them even harder.

Their chemistry was clearly not just on-screen but also off-screen. Since Episode 1, they proved to be great together.

And, when it came to kissing scenes, it was no problem, of course. Yet, they loved to tease each other just as those who love each other do.

The two frequently showed their love for one another during behind-the-scenes clips and press interviews that clearly communicated: they’re meant for each other.

New Year’s Couple

So, it was no surprise when Dispatch revealed the 2021 New Year Couple to be the Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. It was reported that the two had been dating for just eight months despite the previous rumors starting from 2018.

Dispatch‘s evidence of the relationship was a couple of photos of the couple visiting a golf center. They also reportedly played golf together at a course in Gangwon province. However, since Hyun Bin had to leave for Jordan to film The Point Men in July, and Son Ye Jin was busy preparing for her Hollywood debut in the movie Cross, the two did not have much time to meet up.

Dispatch also included comments from the couple’s acquaintances regarding the relationship.

  • “Honestly, during the filming of Crash Landing On You, they were so into their roles. I don’t know their feelings, I can’t tell if it’s acting or real love.”
  • “I think Hyun Bin had developed feelings after the drama finished, and when they had to separate, he developed a feeling of longing for her.”
  • “It wasn’t easy for Son Ye Jin to change her relationship with Hyun Bin. But, the busier they became, they became more affectionate towards each other.”
  • “They filmed two projects together now. They have been in each other’s company for a long time, and they had started to date carefully considering their age.”

Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin Personally Confirm Dating Rumors

The couple made it Instagram official shortly after Dispatch‘s report. Ye Jin shared a post to the social media platform about the relationship.

The new year has arrived.

Why am I this embarrassed that the first [update] from me is about my personal situation and not my work…

Hm… um… umm..

Yes, it happened that way.. ^.^

Haha…

Um… ^^;;

I don’t know what to say, but I feel like I have to say something to you guys.. It’s very awkward and weird to me ^^
