Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin’s love story continues to fascinate fans across the globe. From sharing electric on-screen chemistry to finding love at the right moment in their lives, the couple’s journey from co-stars to spouses has become one of the most cherished romances in the Korean entertainment industry. While fans often speculate that their relationship blossomed during Crash Landing on You, the couple has consistently maintained that they only began dating after the drama wrapped up.

Appearing on Jung Jae Hyung’s YouTube show Fairy Jae Hyung, Hyun Bin candidly spoke about his relationship with Son Ye Jin, addressing both their professional collaborations and the persistent curiosity surrounding the start of their romance. The actor also shared his thoughts on whether the two would reunite on screen for a third project.

“No, It Started After Filming Ended”

During the conversation, Jung Jae Hyung pointed out the undeniable romantic intensity between Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin in Crash Landing on You. “I truly believed it was love,” he remarked. “You can’t deliver that kind of acting unless there’s genuine emotion behind it.”

Calmly addressing the assumption, Hyun Bin clarified, “No, it [our dating] started after filming ended.” He went on to explain that even before Crash Landing on You, the two had worked together in the film The Negotiation, but their interactions on set were limited.

“We filmed mostly in separate spaces. We only saw each other briefly during meals or monitoring,” Hyun Bin shared, explaining that the structure of the film didn’t allow them to build a close bond during production.

When asked if there was a specific moment that made him fall in love with Son Ye Jin, Hyun Bin offered a poetic response that instantly won hearts. “There wasn’t one defining moment,” he said thoughtfully. “It just happened over time—like water slowly soaking into clothes.”

Would Hyun Bin And Son Ye Jin Work Together Again?

While fans continue to hope for another romantic drama featuring the real-life couple, Hyun Bin suggested they might choose a different route if they collaborate again. Son Ye Jin, now a mother of one, has previously shared that she would be open to working with her husband again. The couple recently even won a Popularity Award together, further fueling excitement about a possible reunion.

Hyun Bin echoed her openness but hinted that he might prefer something less traditional than a love story. “A story about a married couple whose relationship suddenly falls apart could be interesting,” he quipped, sparking curiosity about the kind of roles they might take on next.

Imagining the type of project that could suit them, Hyun Bin referenced Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s action-romance film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, suggesting a bold, unconventional dynamic rather than a straightforward romance.

For now, while no project has been confirmed, Hyun Bin’s candid reflections have once again reminded fans why his love story with Son Ye Jin feels as authentic and timeless as the characters they once portrayed.
