Actress Son Ye-jin is attracting fans' attention with an unexpected side while juggling film promotion and event schedules. Behind the glamorous spotlight, her down-to-earth and human side has been repeatedly captured, earning fans' favor.
Son Ye-jin shared her thoughts on her social account after finishing the Busan International Film Festival on the 20th. She said, "I finished all my schedules (including the tteokbokki-eating schedule) and arrived in Seoul safely," and added, "Everyone I met at this year's BIFF was delightful, and it became an unforgettable memory." She reflected, "Actors House took questions on Instagram, and I'm sorry I couldn't answer all of them. Still, I always see the encouraging comments. They give me strength I didn't have," showing affection in her communication with fans.
A few days later, another "humble outing" became a hot topic. On the 28th, as roads were blocked and traffic congestion arose due to the "Seoul World Fireworks Festival 2025," Son Ye-jin revealed that she took the subway home after a film stage greeting. Wearing a hat and mask, she joined the many citizens on the "hellish subway commute" home.
Son Ye-jin posted with a photo, "After the stage greeting, I had no choice but to take the subway home because of the fireworks crowd," and added, "See you at the stage greeting. 'No Other Choice' now showing! Head to the theaters for Chuseok," not forgetting a savvy bit of promotion. Although most of her face was covered by a mask, her bright smile conveyed her characteristic "radiant aura."
Fans expressed both delight and surprise, saying, "It's amazing that a top star takes the subway," "She ate tteokbokki in Busan and now even rode the hellish subway in Seoul… she's really down-to-earth," and "Only Son Ye-jin could do this."
Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin is starring as Miri in the film No Other Choice, which opened on the 24th. Unlike her glamorous screen presence, her actions offstage—communicating through an ordinary daily life—are presenting another charm to the public.
