Hyun Bin & Son Ye-jin Spend Lunar New Year With Their 3-Year-Old Son — Korea’s “Nation’s Couple” Balances Family, Awards, and Busy Filming Schedules

South Korea’s beloved real-life couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin are once again drawing attention this time for their warm family plans for Lunar New Year. While both stars continue their high-profile acting careers, the two will spend the holiday with their three-year-old son, showing the rare balance between blockbuster success and private happiness that has made them one of the country’s most admired celebrity families.

A Love Story That Turned Into Korea’s Most Loved Marriage

After first capturing global hearts through Crash Landing on You, the two confirmed their relationship and married in March 2022, welcoming their son later that year. Since then, their real-life journey has often felt like a continuation of the drama that made them famous — a reason fans still call them the “nation’s couple.”

Public interest in their child has remained high, especially after Hyun Bin revealed that their son resembles both parents, with Son Ye-jin’s features on the upper half of his face and his own on the lower half. The comment alone sparked widespread attention online, reinforcing the couple’s unmatched star power.

Dual Career Highs: Winning Awards as a Married Couple

Even after marriage and parenthood, both actors have continued to dominate the screen.

Hyun Bin returned to audiences through the film Harbin, while Son Ye-jin met viewers with director Park Chan-wook’s project No Other Choice. Their momentum led to one of the most talked-about moments of the Blue Dragon Film Awards, where the two won Best Actor and Best Actress in the same year and thanked each other on stage.

Beyond acting, the couple has also become known for their consistent philanthropy. They donate together annually, including a 200 million KRW contribution to Samsung Medical Center, strengthening their image as stars whose influence extends beyond entertainment.

Lunar New Year Plans After Non-Stop Filming

This year’s holiday comes in the middle of packed production schedules.

Hyun Bin is currently finishing the final stages of filming for Made in Korea Season 2, while Son Ye-jin is busy shooting the Netflix series Variety. After wrapping their respective shoots in time for the holiday, the family plans to gather and spend the Lunar New Year together.

The quiet domestic moment contrasts with their global careers and that contrast is exactly why public fascination with the couple continues to grow.

The Enduring Appeal of Korea’s “Visual Couple”

From award-winning performances to parenting, charity, and major streaming projects, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin represent a rare case in which marriage enhanced rather than slowed two A-list careers.

As they prepare for another year filled with major releases, their Lunar New Year reunion with their son offers fans something even more powerful than a new project: a glimpse of a real-life happy ending that still feels like a K-drama.
