She gave fans a candid insight into how their relationship started and why she fell for him. The actress highlighted how his physical attributes and mannerisms drew her towards him. In her words, it was destiny that brought the two together.
"Many people meet, start dating, get married. That’s what happened too. Hmm… It’s just destiny. People kept saying we resemble each other, and I’ve never really thought of myself as looking like another person. But then the more I looked at it, the more I thought we’re a bit similar," she added.

Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin's love story comes to light in her own words
In a recent stage interview at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), Son Ye-jin recounted the journey of her relationship with fellow actor and husband Hyun Bin, describing it as a matter of destiny.
She explained that many people commented on how similar they looked, a notion she initially found perplexing but eventually agreed with after some reflection. She highlighted that their connection deepened while working together on two projects, which she particularly enjoyed.
Son Ye-jin admired Hyun Bin's intelligence and integrity, noting that he was straightforward and genuine. She also mentioned his physical attributes, describing him as handsome, tall, and reliable.
"We worked together on 2 projects, which I personally really liked a lot. How should I say this… he is smart. He is upright and rational. He is not a person who presents himself in a package, you get what you see. And… it was also the appearance. He’s handsome and tall, and he’s reliable," she continued.
Despite the common occurrence of actors dating within their industry, Son Ye-jin had not anticipated it for herself. However, she accepted it as destiny when it did happen. Reflecting on their time working together, she appreciated Hyun Bin's personality, describing him as not just smart but having a scholarly aura reminiscent of someone from the past.
The couple crossed paths while working on the 2018 film The Negotiation, in which they played adversaries locked in a high-stakes negotiation. Their relationship turned around when they were cast in the highly popular drama Crash Landing on You in 2019.
On January 1, 2021, after much speculation and hope from fans, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin publicly confirmed their relationship. They tied the knot in a private ceremony on March 31, 2022, attended by family and close friends. They welcomed their son in November of the same year.
