S.Korean actress Son Ye-jin in talks to star in Hollywood movie

The Korean actress played the heiress who fell in love with a North Korean army captain, so what’s next for her?

by Nadine Chua & Mary-Ann Soh  /   July 8, 2020

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.

According to Son’s agency MS Team Entertainment, the actress is being considered for the role but as negotiations are not over yet, the agency was cautious to confirm any details at the moment, reported The Korea Herald.

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, here are some things you might not know about this South Korean actress.

She was a film student at the Seoul Institute of the Arts

The 38-year-old actress always knew she wanted to be in the acting industry, even when she was younger. She studied film at the Seoul Institute of the Arts, a prestigious school that’s the alma mater of many other popular Korean actors as well.

In an interview with Section TV, Entertainment News in 2013, she gushed about how she was just “an ordinary high school student” that preferred to indulge in ddeokbokki (Korean rice cakes) rather than studying hard to get good grades.

Her first big role was in a 2001 K-TV series

Son Ye-jin’s name in the K-drama industry was finally put on the map when she starred as Jang Hee-ae in the 2001 romantic-comedy Delicious Proposal.

The TV series revolved around two opposing families in the restaurant business and the blossoming love between high school students on their paths to becoming chefs. The show also starred popular Korean actor Jung Joon as Hee-ae’s love interest.

She’s… single?

We’ve all seen Son Ye-jin’s on screen chemistry with her co-star Hyun Bin on Crash Landing on You, and it’s hard to believe that the pair aren’t dating in real life.

Rumours of the duo being in a relationship were definitely the buzz that’s been going around, but their co-star Kim Jung-hyun (who played Gu Seong-joon) squashed these dating rumours in an interview back in February.

He claimed that both Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin were great at communicating, so when it came to ideas of how to make a scene more romantic, they were both eager to give it a shot. Now that’s what we call professionalism.

If you’ve been following Son Ye-jin on Instagram (her handle is @yejinhand), you’d probably notice that she likes to take time off from her busy schedule to meet up with her girlfriends.

Here’s just one of the many pictures that she’s posted with her friends – I guess you could say she enjoys girls’ nights out as much as we all do.

Whether it’s celebrating a birthday or just hanging out with the girls for some drinks, it’s nice to see that Son Ye-jin manages to keep her personal life exciting despite her hectic work schedule.

She’s a foodie

Just like many of us, Son Ye-jin gets really excited when she tries out new cuisines. Her Instagram is filled with snaps of food and you’ll definitely find your mouth watering when scrolling through her socials. Here, she’s trying peach pasta, which is just one of the many unique dishes that she enjoys sampling.

So, if you’re looking to experiment with new dishes in the kitchen, check out her profile for some #foodspiration.

Her go-to makeup look is au naturel

Just like her CLOY character on-screen, Son Ye-jin also prefers a natural no-makeup makeup look off-screen too. She’s often seen with a light base makeup, flushed cheeks and just-bitten lips.

If you’re recreating a makeup look like hers, don’t forget to pop on some sunscreen so you’re protected from the harsh UV rays. Opt for a lip stain instead of a lipstick too, as a stain usually melts into your lips and gives it that effortless, chic look.

We’ve also narrowed down a few of our favourite beauty and hair looks from Son Ye-jin here.

More than just a “nice girl” persona

Even though Son Ye-jin‘s most famous performances are of her being that down-to-earth girl that everyone loves, she’s extended her acting roles to more than just that.

In 2005, she played a con-artist Han Ji-wan in the popular Korean romantic comedy film The Art of Seduction. She also played a woman with two husbands in the 2008 film My Wife Got Married. Well, she’s clearly a versatile actress who can easily play different personalities — talk about talent.
