Things you didn’t know about Son Ye-jin

Son Ye-jin has also been selected as Valentino’s new muse and will grace the luxury label’s international campaign

by Nadine Chua, Mary-Ann Soh & Shazrina Shamsudin  /   March 24, 2021

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.

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.

We’ve all seen Son Ye-jin’s on-screen chemistry with her co-star, Hyun Bin, on Crash Landing on You, and believe it or not, the pair are actually dating in real life!

Rumours of the duo being in a relationship were definitely the buzz in the past but it was confirmed recently that there is truth to the rumour.

According to South Korean entertainment news site Soompi, the stars’ respective agencies confirmed that Son and Hyun Bin, whose real name is Kim Tae-pyung, “met through their projects, and after the end of their drama, their positive feelings towards one another developed into a romantic relationship”.

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.

Her go-to makeup look is au naturel
custom

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.

Leading actress Son Ye-jin, isn’t just your typical Hallyu star. Despite being in her late 30s, she looks nowhere near that age. If you’re not in the loop, Son Ye-jin is actually 39 this year and yet, we’re also captivated by (surprise!) her beauty and poise!

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.
