Son Ye-jin
Son Ye-jin (손예진, born January 11, 1982) entered Korean cinema in 2000 and spent the early 2000s becoming one of its most bankable stars. Her rom-com breakouts in The Classic (2003) and A Moment to Remember (2004) earned her the informal title "Nation's First Love" while pulling record audiences across East Asia. She proved the label too narrow: My Wife Got Married (2008) won her the Blue Dragon Best Actress award, and subsequent genre work in Spellbound (2011), The Pirates (2014), and The Last Princess (2016) confirmed her range. Crash Landing on You (2019), the globally streamed Netflix hit opposite her now-husband Hyun Bin, made her an international household name. Working with Park Chan-wook for the second time in No Other Choice (2025), she delivered a career-defining turn that earned her Best Actress at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards and premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. Under MSTeam Entertainment, she is married to actor Hyun Bin (2022) and continues to work at the top of the industry.
