Son Ye-jin in Tears Over Hyun Bin’s Love Letter: A Heartfelt Moment From Korea’s Royal K-Drama Couple
In a recent emotional interview with a leading Korean lifestyle magazine, actress Son Ye-jin opened up about a deeply personal moment that has since melted hearts around the globe. She revealed how a handwritten love letter from her husband Hyun Bin brought her to tears during their honeymoon — a moment that perfectly captures the quiet, enduring love between Korea’s most adored celebrity couple.
The Love Letter That Made Her Cry
“It wasn’t long, but every word carried so much emotion,” Son Ye-jin said, describing the letter she discovered tucked inside a book she was reading.
The letter, written in Hyun Bin’s own hand, expressed his appreciation for her and his gratitude for having married her.
“When I read it, I couldn’t hold back my tears. It reminded me how deeply we love and respect each other.”
That letter is now kept safe alongside their wedding photos and their son’s baby clothes, a treasured memento of a love story that continues to inspire millions.
A Romance Born on Screen, Flourishing in Real Life
The couple first met while filming The Negotiation in 2018, but it was their roles in the worldwide K-drama sensation Crash Landing on You (2019) that solidified their bond — both professionally and personally. Their chemistry extended offscreen, leading to a fairy-tale wedding in March 2022 and the birth of their first child, affectionately known as Baby Alkong, later that year.
Hyun Bin’s Quiet, Poetic Side
While Hyun Bin is often recognized for his stoic, reserved demeanor, this touching gesture revealed his romantic and poetic heart. According to Son Ye-jin, this wasn’t the first letter he’s written.
“He used to send handwritten letters even during our busiest days — sometimes through my manager,” she shared.
In a world dominated by digital communication, Hyun Bin’s choice to use pen and paper made the expression even more meaningful. “Even in this digital age, he prefers writing his feelings. That makes it all the more special,” Son Ye-jin added.
Family First, With Love and Support
The couple has been notably private about their personal life, but both stars have taken time away from the spotlight to focus on raising their son. In the interview, Son Ye-jin hinted at a possible return to acting, now that their child is older — a decision fully supported by her husband.
Hyun Bin, meanwhile, is reportedly in script readings for a new action thriller film scheduled for release in 2026.
Fans React: “True Love Still Exists”
After the story aired, social media exploded with reactions from fans around the world. Hashtags like #HyunBinLetter, #SonYeJinCryingHappily, and #BinJinForever quickly trended on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.
Fans from Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and beyond poured out messages of admiration:
“They prove love doesn’t have to be loud to be real,” wrote one user.
“This is what emotional intimacy looks like,” said another.
A Love Story That Transcends the Screen
The enduring romance of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin has become more than a fan-favorite pairing — it’s a symbol of lasting connection, emotional honesty, and true partnership.
In an industry often plagued by fleeting romances and media speculation, the BinJin couple stands as a rare example of love nurtured in silence and built on genuine respect.
As Son Ye-jin so beautifully put it:
“Even when work kept us apart, those letters brought us close.”
