Did Jealousy Spark at Baeksang 2025? Hyun Bin, Song Hye Kyo, and Son Ye Jin: The Award Show Moment Explained
The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards in 2025 seemed like a scene straight out of a K-drama. Glamorous stars, emotional moments, and just the faintest whiff of old flames crossing paths. At the center of it all: the ever-charismatic Hyun Bin, his wife, superstar Son Ye Jin, and his ex-girlfriend, the graceful Song Hye Kyo. Naturally, fans couldn’t help but speculate—was there tension, jealousy, or was it just another night at the awards?
Hyun Bin’s Big Night
Hyun Bin didn’t just attend this year’s Baeksang ceremony—he owned it. The actor won both Best Picture for Harbin and the prestigious Grand Prize (Daesang), solidifying his status as a certified legend in the industry. Looking effortlessly sharp, fans joked that if there were an award for “most likely to be a real-life secret agent,” he’d take that too.
But amid the glitz and the camera flashes, fans quickly turned their attention to something else: Song Hye Kyo was also in attendance. Cue the speculation—could there be a love triangle? Or was it just a pure coincidence that Hyun Bin’s ex and his wife shared the same venue?
The Speculation
Despite absolutely zero confirmed interaction between Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo during the event—no wave, no side glance, and not even a polite hello—the internet did what it does best: speculate wildly. Fan forums and Twitter were flooded with questions: “Did they make eye contact?” “Was Son Ye Jin secretly upset?” “Is this the beginning of a real-life K-drama love triangle?” These theories spread faster than a plot twist in the first episode of a drama.
But here’s the truth: nothing happened. No reunion, no awkward standoff, and certainly no emotional moment shared between the two. In fact, the only thing stirred at the Baeksang was probably a cocktail at the afterparty.
A Look Back: Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo’s Real-Life Romance
For newer fans, it’s important to revisit the history between Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo. They famously dated from 2009 to 2011 after starring together in the 2008 drama Worlds Within. Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, and their relationship was widely adored by fans. However, their breakup was announced quietly before Hyun Bin’s military enlistment, with no drama surrounding it—just a mutual parting of ways due to their demanding schedules.
Since then, both have thrived in their careers. Song Hye Kyo continues to dominate the drama world, and Hyun Bin found love again with his Crash Landing on You co-star, Son Ye Jin, whom he married in 2022.
Son Ye Jin: Unbothered, Beautiful, and Winning at Life
Throughout the evening, Son Ye Jin was poised, beautiful, and unbothered, winning at life both personally and professionally. Fans, of course, couldn’t help but imagine a soap opera-worthy drama unfolding before their eyes, but the truth remains simple: the only thing that mattered at Baeksang was the mutual respect between all parties involved.
The idea of a love triangle between Hyun Bin, Song Hye Kyo, and Son Ye Jin remains nothing more than an internet rumor. The real story is one of moving on, personal growth, and continuing to thrive in an industry that constantly demands attention and scrutiny.
So, while fans may have let their imaginations run wild, the reality is far simpler: nothing was stirred at the Baeksang except perhaps a few cocktails at the afterparty. The real story here is one of maturity, respect, and the continuing success of these three stars—each in their own way.
