If you’ve missed South Korean actress Son Ye-jin from hit Korean drama Crash Landing on You, there might be a possibility that you’ll next catch her on the big screen in a Hollywood movie, The Cross.
It was recently announced in January that the filming of Son Ye-jin’s debut has been delayed due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Hollywood.
Son is expected to play the film’s lead female role – a non-Korean – and is expected to speak English throughout the film. She will be starring alongside Australian actor Sam Worthington, from films Avatar (2009) and Clash of Titans (2010), according to reports.
When Crash Landing on You released its very first episode on Netflix in late December 2019, no one had any idea that it’d be the absolute hit that it is today. Fans from all around the world followed the lives of two star-crossed lovers, South Korean heiress Yoon Se-ri and North Korean army officer Ri Jeong-hyeok and watched their love story unfold over the 16 episodes that were aired.
The romantic drama became so critically acclaimed that it was the second highest rated K-drama in cable television history, beating out other popular K-dramas like Mr. Sunshine and 100 Days My Prince.
When the show started gaining traction in early 2020, fans became even more interested in the life of the lead actress, Son Ye-jin. Some had seen her work in past K-dramas before, while others saw her as a fresh face in the industry. Well, if you’re interested to know more, here are a few things you might not know about this South Korean actress.
