Actor Hyun Bin made a rare public appearance to support his wife, Son Ye-jin, at the VIP premiere of her new film "No Other Choice" in Seoul.
The screening took place Monday at CGV Yongsan IPark Mall in Seoul. The event drew attention as several stars’ family members turned out to show their support, including Hyun Bin and actress Lee Min-jung, wife of Son’s co-star Lee Byung-hun.
During the photo session, Hyun Bin walked the red carpet, drawing cheers for backing Son’s latest project ahead of its release. The gesture underscored the couple’s strong bond, as well as the close friendship between the Hyun-Son and Lee-Lee couples.
Son has been busy promoting the film, recently appearing on YouTube channel Fairy Jae-hyung to share updates about her life as both an actress and mother.
Married to Hyun Bin since March 2022, she gave birth to a son that November. “I work and care for my child at the same time. If I can’t multitask, something falls through the cracks,” she said. “As a perfectionist, I just keep living busily.”
When asked by host Jung Jae-hyung if Hyun Bin is the type to pressure her, Son responded warmly: “The best thing about my husband is that he never says things like, ‘I wish you’d do this,’ or ‘Don’t do that.’” Jung teased back, “I can see love in your eyes whenever you talk about him.”
Directed by Park Chan-wook, "No Other Choice" tells the story of a dismissed breadwinner who fights to protect his family and home. The film earned the People’s Choice Award at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival and is now set for release on Wednesday in Korea.
