Son Ye-jin shares joy of family life with Hyun Bin and their baby

Actress Son Ye-jin offered a heartfelt glimpse into her current chapter of life, where marriage to actor Hyun Bin and the joy of parenthood have shaped her perspective on happiness. Speaking at a press conference during the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival on July 5, Son Ye-jin reflected on her personal growth over the past two years.
According to SBS Star, “I've gone through a lot personally over the past two years, and it feels like chapter one of my acting career has come to an end”, Son Ye-jin shared, her voice carrying a tone of gratitude and introspection.“Entering chapter two, the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival created a special exhibition for me, giving me the opportunity to reflect on my past. I'm grateful because it feels like a chance to give chapter one a proper wrap-up and make a fresh start”, she added.
Known for her versatile roles, from portraying a divorced woman to navigating complex relationships on screen, Son Ye-jin expressed excitement about future roles with newfound wisdom. She stated, “I don't want to set any more limits for myself moving forward. When I was inexperienced, I played roles like a divorced woman, a mother, and even a wife with two husbands. Now, even if I were to film the same movies, I think I would approach them differently. I'm curious and excited about the kinds of roles I will be playing in the future”.
However, it was Son Ye-jin's candid remarks about her personal life that resonated deeply. “Marriage and childbirth are completely different worlds from the one I lived in before”, she revealed warmly. She further added, “Raising a child for nearly two years has made me realize the preciousness of everyday life, and it has brought me a lot of happiness”.
With a smile that spoke volumes, she continued, “Before, work was everything to me, and I struggled to separate my personal life from it. Nowadays, even if my child just eats well, it makes me so happy. I find joy in getting through the day and ending it safely. My values have also changed a bit. Parenting is tough, but it brings a different kind of happiness. I'm living very happily and doing extremely well right now”.
