On September 18, Son Ye-jin participated in the Actors’ House talk segment at BIFF, where she shared her journey, thoughts on acting, and stories from her personal life. Due to time constraints, not all audience questions could be answered during the 50-minute session. However, she made a promise: “If you leave your questions on my SNS, I’ll respond to them.“
True to her word, Son Ye-jin took to her Instagram and began replying to fans’ comments individually—a rare and touching gesture in the celebrity world. Fans who left questions in her comment section received personalized answers directly from the star herself.
When one fan asked which roles had the biggest impact on her acting spectrum, she responded: “ The Truth Beneath and The Art of Seduction were the most transformative for me. I want to try characters I haven’t experienced yet.”
Another fan asked how she bridges the gap between herself and her characters. She replied: “That gap is something I constantly think about. I try to live as the character would in my daily life, even outside of filming.”
Perhaps the most heartfelt moment came when a fan asked what currently brings her the most happiness. Son Ye-jin answered with sincerity: “The simple everyday moments with my husband and child. Just seeing my baby smile—nothing beats that.” Her reply offered a glimpse into her personal joy and the fulfilling life she leads as a mother and wife.
She also answered a wide range of other questions, such as the difference between “actress Son Ye-jin and the person Son Ye-jin” and which genre she’d like to direct if she ever became a filmmaker.
Actress Lee Min-jung , her close friend and wife of actor Lee Byung-hun , also made a witty appearance in the comments, writing: “You look pretty no matter how you style your bangs. #Unfair” , adding a playful vibe to the post.
Netizens have praised Son Ye-jin’s genuine communication, with comments like “She really keeps her word,” and “It’s not just talk—she shows her sincerity through action.”
Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin starred in Park Chan-wook’s new film No Other Choice (어쩔수가없다) , which opened this year’s BIFF. In the movie, she plays Mi-ri , a devoted wife who stands by her husband (played by Lee Byung-hun) during his unemployment. The film marks another powerful collaboration between some of Korea’s top cinematic talents.
