The year 2020 saw K-drama Crash Landing on You became a record-breaking global hit, turning actress Son Ye-jin into one of the most bankable stars in Korea, and “BinJin” – the cutesy nickname given to the actress and her co-star Hyun Bin – into a real-life couple.
Son’s onscreen character, Yoon Se-ri, was perhaps an ideal fit: not only a heiress but a lover, businesswoman and fashion icon, she brought plenty of depth to the role. Over a year later, the show is still attracting viewers and making waves. No wonder Son became a leading Korean actress and “CF queen”.

Sadly for us, Son hasn’t taken on any big roles since Crash Landing, but that doesn’t mean her 2021 hasn’t been eventful. Here’s what she’s been up to.
Things are going very well with boyfriend Hyun Bin
Ever since Korea’s Dispatch reported the relationship between Son Ye-ji and Hyun Bin, and both agencies confirmed the news, the couple has been very low key about their dating life. They have been nearly impossible to spot together.
So in February 2021, when Philippines’ Smart Communications unveiled its Simple Smart Ako campaign featuring the power couple, fans ate it up. BinJin’s sweet chemistry in the video led to the rise of hashtags like #InSmartWeTrust, #SmartBinJin and plenty more across social media.
