Korea's top celebrity couple, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who are loved by the entire nation, plan to spend this year's Chuseok holiday relaxing with their family and enjoying a happy Chuseok.

After publicly dating and receiving support since the 2020 finale of tvN drama "Crash Landing on You," Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin married in March 2022 and welcomed a son that November.

The couple made headlines last year when they jointly won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for their films "Harbin" (Hyun Bin) and "I Can't Help It" (Son Ye-jin), released after their marriage and childbirth. At the ceremony, they expressed gratitude by calling each other's names and were hailed as the "national acting couple."

Following this, Hyun Bin received critical acclaim for his first villain role in Disney+ series "Made in Korea" Season 1, which was released in December last year, and has now returned with "Made in Korea" Season 2. Son Ye-jin is also meeting global audiences through her dramatic transformation in the Netflix series "Scandal," which was released last week.

While both are busy with childcare, they continue to work steadily and receive fans' support. The couple demonstrates their unique passion for their craft, successfully balancing their careers as actors with their roles as mother and father.

Notably, after marriage, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin appeared on variety shows, proudly showcasing their son's distinctive looks and earning widespread affection. Earlier, on a variety program, Hyun Bin revealed details about his son's appearance by saying, "The upper half of his face resembles mom, while the lower half resembles me," effectively "spoiling" the handsome "half-and-half" look of their child.

Recently appearing on JTBC's "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator," Son Ye-jin smiled with her eyes when asked, "What do you think if your son becomes an actor?" She replied, "It would be hard not to become an actor with a face like this."

Later, while apologizing for having to pay to boast about her son, she immediately answered the question of who he resembles more by saying without hesitation, "He seems to resemble me. Actually, both of us in our couple want him to look like ourselves," revealing their deep affection.

After the broadcast, when the appearance of their picture-perfect son became a topic of discussion, Son Ye-jin expressed embarrassment and posted on social media: "Why did I say that? Why did I say 'a face that makes it hard not to become an actor'? I probably wanted to be funny and exaggerate. When parents brag about their children, they can look quite ridiculous. But to a parent's eyes, their child is the most beautiful in the world. It's funnier than any comedy program when you see them over and over again," which further endeared her to fans.

It was reported that this couple will spend time together with their family after completing their respective scheduled commitments for this year's Chuseok holiday. During the Chuseok break, there are no shooting schedules such as commercials, so they plan to minimize external engagements and spend time with their son.

In particular, since Hyun Bin's "Made in Korea" Season 2 and Son Ye-jin's "Scandal" were released around the same time recently, expectations have risen that the couple may enjoy watching each other's works together on OTT platforms.
