5 Fascinating Facts About 'Crash Landing On You' Star Son Ye Jin

Do you know which K-drama she first starred in?

January 25, 2020

1. In college, she reportedly majored in film at the Seoul Institute Of Arts.

Here are more deets about her early years: Ye Jin was born on January 11, 1982. She talked about her high school days in a 2013 interview and said that she "was an ordinary high school student who enjoyed eating ddeokbokki rather than trying to get good grades." LOL, saaaame.

2. Ye Jin's first K-drama was called Delicious Proposal (2001).

According to Viki, the series tells the story of two competing restaurants and the families who own them. Ye Jin played the role of Hee Ae, the girl leading man Hyo Dong (Jung Joon) falls for. There's only one problem: Their fathers are rival restaurant owners! At that time, Ye Jin was around 19 years old.

3. She's not afraid of playing ~edgy~ roles.

Throughout her career, Son Ye Jin has played a con artist (The Heart Of Seduction), a woman with two husbands (My Wife Got Married), and a divorcée (Alone In Love).

4. She made a cameo appearance in Hyun Bin's 2010 drama Secret Garden!

Hyun Bin starred in Secret Garden opposite Ha Ji Won. He didn't have any scenes with Ye Jin (sadly), but according to a fan account, Ye Jin played a different version of herself—an actress "with a wry sense of humor."

5. Ye Jin has not been involved in any dating scandals (so far).

In 2018, when asked about romance and marriage, she joked that she was ~bad at dating~! "In order to date, you need to make up your mind to date, meet many people, and have blind dates offered to you, but that's not easy. It's more difficult as you get older. I don't think it's possible to do something by force either. However, I'm waiting for a good match to show up."

She was rumored to be dating Hyun Bin after they worked together in the film The Negotiation, but their agencies have repeatedly denied the issue.
