Actors Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin once again became the center of attention as they candidly expressed their affection for their son. As the couple said, "we hoped he would look like each other," surrounding reactions to the son's looks have been intense, and the two have already shown concerns and directions as "wise parents."
In a video on the YouTube channel 'Fairy Jae-hyung' released on the 9th, Son Ye-jin brought up her son's story and surprised Jung Jae-hyung. When Jung Jae-hyung asked, "People say the child is so pretty, right?" Son Ye-jin smiled cautiously and said, "If you say he's too pretty, later someone might see him and say, 'Not that much,' so please look objectively." Then she added, "Our baby slightly resembles me."
When she finally showed a video of her son on her phone, Jung Jae-hyung opened his eyes wide and could not hide his surprise, exclaiming, "Wow!" With a pleased smile, Son Ye-jin proudly said, "It's a boy," and joked, "Usually people hope the child looks like the husband or the wife. But we both said we wanted the child to look like each of us," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
Son Ye-jin went on to say, "My child cannot be exchanged for anything. That love is truly unconditional. Having a child seems like the best thing I've done in life," expressing deep maternal love. On the reality of being a working mom, she candidly revealed, "You have to work, care for the child, and do the housework. I have a perfectionist personality, so I stay busy doing multiple things." About her husband Hyun Bin, she showed affection, saying, "His biggest strength is that he doesn't demand that I do or not do things for him."
Later, in an interview about the film 'There Is No Help,' Son Ye-jin spoke about how her life changed after becoming a mother. She said, "The changes my son brought are huge. Everything changed from one to ten. I barely remember what kind of actress I used to be," and added with a laugh, "These days when I push a stroller to the playground, fans quietly greet me. Thanks to the baby, I've become friendly with the neighborhood moms." On plans for a second child, she gave a realistic answer, saying, "In my heart I'd like to have three, but as a working mom it's not easy."
Meanwhile, in a recently released 'Fairy Jae-hyung' video, Hyun Bin also appeared as a guest and expressed his affection for his son. Jung Jae-hyung said, "When Ye-jin showed me a photo of their son I was really surprised. I wondered if there was a baby that looked like a cartoon," and asked, "How do you act toward your son?" Hyun Bin smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary dad. He's so pretty now. He just passed three years a few days ago."
When Jung Jae-hyung said, "If strangers also say 'wow,' you might worry," Hyun Bin replied, "I think we'll worry more when he gets older. But I don't want to start worrying already," showing an attitude of cherishing the present time rather than excessive concern.
In fact, the couple has already experienced a "worry that came early." In July, an AI-manipulated image circulated online claiming to be a family photo of Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, and both agencies immediately responded, saying, "We never released photos of the child and these are fake photos." To prevent confusion, they requested deletions and provided guidance, establishing clear principles for protecting their child.
As their son's looks became a topic of conversation and fan interest grew, concerns followed, but Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin are making cautious, firm choices instead of indiscriminate exposure. While they laugh and boast that he resembles both of them, their direction is to protect the child's privacy and current happiness first.
Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin married Hyun Bin in 2022 and welcomed their son in November of the same year. Amid expectations for "little Son Ye-jin" and "little Hyun Bin," the two are already thoughtfully preparing for their child's future. As much as the son's looks draw attention, the parents' attitude has also earned sympathy from many.
