Hyun Bin Says Wife Son Ye-jin Is Hooked on 'Made in Korea' & Praised an Unexpected Scene

Hyun Bin says his wife, Son Ye-jin, is all in on Disney+ series "Made in Korea" ― and even singled out a moment that surprised her.

Meeting with reporters on Jan. 27 in Seoul’s Samcheong-dong for a Season 1 wrap interview, Hyun Bin shared, “She’s currently filming, so we couldn’t watch all six episodes together. But she kept up and told me she was really into it.”

“As a fellow actor, she pointed to a scene I never expected,” he added. “After Gi-tae (Hyun Bin) brawls with Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung) in the finale, there’s a short conversation with Haksu (No Jae-won). She said my expressions and line delivery there didn’t feel ‘performed’ at all ― just very natural. That stood out to her.”

The A-list couple made headlines last year when they each took home lead acting honors at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for different projects. Since marrying, both have stayed busy while trading candid notes on each other’s work ― feedback they say genuinely helps them grow as performers.

Set in 1970s Korea, "Made in Korea" follows Baek Gi-tae (Hyun Bin), who treats the state like a profit engine in his climb to the top of wealth and power, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), who hunts him with relentless resolve. The duo collide with era-defining scandals along the way. Season 1 recently wrapped, and Season 2 is currently in production.
