On May 8, the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards took place at COEX in Seoul’s Gangnam District. During the ceremony, Hyun Bin won the Best Actor award in the broadcasting category for his performance in the Disney+ original series Made in Korea.

The victory was especially meaningful considering the fierce competition he faced against powerhouse actors, including Ji Sung and Lee Jun Ho.

However, the most memorable moment of the night came when Hyun Bin’s name was announced. Although Son Ye Jin attended the ceremony as a nominee for Best Actress in the film category and did not win herself, she immediately lit up with a radiant smile after hearing her husband’s name called.

As Hyun Bin walked toward the stage, Son Ye Jin personally filmed him on her phone, proudly acting as his number one fan. Cameras captured her genuine happiness as she focused entirely on celebrating her husband’s achievement rather than her own result.

During his acceptance speech, Hyun Bin spoke about working with director Woo Min Ho. He shared, “The director told me that since I couldn’t fully enjoy filming Harbin, he hoped I could enjoy this project more. Even though every day on set was intense, looking back now, it was truly a happy experience.”

His award also served as recognition that his transformation in Made in Korea had impressed not only viewers but critics as well.

The emotional highlight came near the end of his speech. Looking directly toward Son Ye Jin in the audience, Hyun Bin openly confessed, “To my wife Ye Jin, who is sitting right there in front of me, thank you so much, and I love you.”

He continued by mentioning their son, saying, “I love our son too. Thank you for supporting me throughout filming,” showing his affectionate side as both a husband and father.

Although Son Ye Jin left the ceremony without a trophy in hand, many viewers felt she received something even more meaningful – a heartfelt public declaration of love on one of Korea’s biggest entertainment stages. The couple’s sincere support and affection for one another ultimately became one of the brightest moments of the night.
