Hyun Bin has recently shared insights into his relationship with Son Ye Jin, revealing that their romance truly began after the completion of their hit drama, "Crash Landing on You". In a recent appearance on the YouTube channel "Fairy Jae Hyung," Hyun Bin clarified the timeline of their relationship, setting the record straight for many fans who had speculated about their on-set chemistry.

During the show, host Jae Hyung suggested that the couple's romance might have sparked during the filming of "Crash Landing on You". However, Hyun Bin responded by saying, "It was after it ended". He explained that there wasn't a specific moment that defined when his feelings for Son Ye Jin developed. Instead, he used an analogy, describing it as "like water slowly seeping in over time," noting that their connection grew naturally as they worked together and communicated extensively throughout the project.

Hyun Bin also touched upon his and Son Ye Jin's earlier collaboration in the movie "The Negotiation". Due to the nature of the film, they had limited face-to-face interactions during shooting. He mentioned that they "filmed mostly in separate spaces and only saw each other briefly during meals or monitoring,". This lack of direct interaction likely contributed to their romance not igniting during that project.

The couple's relationship became public in early 2021, with both actors' agencies confirming that they had been dating since March 2020. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin tied the knot in March 2022 and welcomed their first child, a son, in November of the same year. Their journey, from co-stars to real-life partners, has captivated fans worldwide, solidifying their status as one of the most beloved couples in the Korean entertainment industry.

The actor's recent openness has fueled excitement among fans, who have long admired their on-screen and off-screen chemistry. Hyun Bin's description of their romance as a gradual and natural process highlights the genuineness of their bond.

Looking to the future, Hyun Bin addressed the possibility of working with Son Ye Jin again. While he seemed hesitant about repeating a similar storyline to "Crash Landing on You," he expressed interest in exploring different genres. He suggested a story about a married couple facing challenges, even mentioning a "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"-style concept as a potentially interesting project. "If there's another interesting concept, I think it would be great to co-star again," Hyun Bin stated.

Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin made history at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November 2025, becoming the first married couple to win the top acting honors in the same year. Hyun Bin won Best Actor for "Harbin" (2024), and Son Ye Jin won Best Actress for "No Other Choice" (2025).

Hyun Bin's reflections offer a glimpse into the authentic love story between him and Son Ye Jin. Rooted in mutual respect, shared growth, and a connection that deepened over time, their relationship continues to inspire fans around the world.
