From their first meeting to a wedding: the “safe landing on love” story of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin,
The Korean entertainment industry in particular and Asian social media, in general, are eagerly waiting for the “wedding of the century” of the “Crash Landing On You” couple
Actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who acknowledged their romantic relationship on January 1st, 2021 and became the “first celebrity couple in 2021,” will tie the knot today (March 31) after about two years of dating from March 2020.
They were embroiled in rumors of a romantic relationship three times before dating publicly, but after denying all kinds of rumors, they eventually “settled down.”
The first romance rumor came after the release of the movie “Negotiation” in 2018. Hyun-bin and Son Ye-jin worked together for the first time in that work and were said to have developed into a romantic relationship through the movie. However, both sides drew a line, saying it was just a misunderstanding.
In January 2019, the second wave of rumors about their relationship broke out when a photo of them shopping together was taken at a supermarket in Los Angeles. At that time, they said, “While staying in the U.S., they contacted each other and met with several acquaintances.”
The two later drew attention again as they worked together on the romance drama “Crash Landing on You”.
At the drama’s press conference, Hyun Bin said, “It was something that made us laugh”, and lightly passed questions about their dating rumors twice. Son Ye-jin also replied, “I think this is a fate. Our chemistry is getting better and better”.
Although an article released in January 2020, when “Crash Landing on You” was broadcast, reported that Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin were dating on the premise of marriage, the two denied all the rumors of their romantic relationship at that time.
The drama became so popular with its last episode’s rating reaching 21.6%, which was the highest rating recorded on tvN at that time.
Son Ye-jin played Yoon Se-ri, a Korean chaebol heiress who has an unexpected charm. Meanwhile, Hyun Bin took on the role of Ri Jung-hyuk, an elite North Korean soldier, captivating women’s hearts with his unique deep eye acting.
“Crash Landing on You”, which gained huge popularity not only in Korea but also in other countries, such as Japan, India, etc., depicts the love story of the South Korean woman Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) and the North Korean man Ri Jung-hyuk (Hyun Bin) that goes beyond the reality of being divided.
In January last year, the two admitted that they had begun dating since March 2020, after “Crash Landing on You” ended. And after a year of publicly dating, they are doing to get married on March 31. Thus, the Korean entertainment industry in particular and Asian social media, in general, are eagerly waiting for the “wedding of the century” at the Aston House area of the Sheraton Grand Waterhill hotel, Gwangjin district, Seoul.
