Actor Son Ye-jin revealed her affection for her son, surprising Jung Jae-hyung, and in an interview about her comeback she candidly confessed how her life has changed after marriage and childbirth and even her plans for a second child, making headlines again.
In a video on the YouTube channel Yojeong Jae-hyung released on the 21st, Jung Jae-hyung asked Son Ye-jin, "They say the baby is very pretty?" and Son Ye-jin replied, "I will show him later. If you say he's very pretty, when you see him later he might say, 'He's not that cute,' so please look objectively," and smiled. Then she revealed, "Our baby looks a little like me," and after checking the photo Jung Jae-hyung gasped, "Gasp!" opening his eyes wide in surprise. With a proud smile, Son Ye-jin boasted, "It's a boy," and joked, "Usually people say they hope the child looks like the husband or like the wife, but we each said we hoped the child would look like ourselves," turning the set into a sea of laughter.
Son Ye-jin continued, "I wasn't originally someone who doted on babies, but my child is priceless. That love is truly unconditional, and having a child feels like the best thing I've done in my life," expressing deep maternal love. Jung Jae-hyung worried, "If you care for a child and work at the same time, you won't be in your right mind," but Son Ye-jin replied, "As a working mom I have to work, raise the child and run the household. Because I'm a perfectionist, I live a busy, multitasking life." She also praised her husband Hyun Bin, saying, "The biggest strength of my husband is that he never tells me, 'I wish you would do this' or 'I wish you wouldn't do that.'" When Jung Jae-hyung said, "He's so nice," with envy, Son Ye-jin nodded and said, "He is nice."
Meanwhile, in an interview for the film I Can't Help It held on the 23rd in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, Son Ye-jin honestly talked about how her life has changed as a mother. She said, "The changes my son brought are enormous. Everything changed from one to ten. I can barely remember what kind of actress I used to be," and added, "These days when I push a stroller to the playground, fans quietly come up and say, 'I'm such a fan.' Before I used to hide with a hat, but now that I'm out with the baby I've become friendly with the neighborhood moms."
She went on, "Becoming a mother has made me stronger. I couldn't help but become more mature," and said, "I'm happy to have a job. I'm grateful as a mother and as an actor." When asked about plans for a second child, she smiled and said, "I wanted three, but as a working mom it's not easy."
Netizens reacted variously, saying, "You can really feel the honest struggles of a working mom," "I'm dying to see Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin's son's face," and "It's realistic and warm that she honestly talks about how a second child is not easy." Fans said, "I'm looking forward to the day the son is really revealed," and continued to express anticipation for the visuals of "little Son Ye-jin" and "little Hyun Bin."
Even after marriage and childbirth, Son Ye-jin continues to attract attention. With her return as an actor, her daily life with Hyun Bin and her special affection for her son have captured public attention, establishing them as a family in the spotlight.
In a recent interview, when asked, "Do you and your husband Hyun Bin have any disagreements while raising the child?" Son Ye-jin said with a laugh, "Mr. Bin always goes along with my opinion. Isn't every household like that?" and added, "We have very similar values. So we don't clash much. We're not a couple who don't understand each other and say, 'Why are you like this?' Fortunately," showing their excellent harmony.
