It is a difficult period for actress Son Ye-jin. Recently, from the home-cooked meals she posted on social media to her casual fashion and even how she eats, she has been repeatedly subjected to criticism and hate comments.

On the 21st, Son Ye-jin shared several photos on her personal social media account along with the caption, "I am happiest when I cook frantically and then sit down to eat everything together."

She followed up by saying, "Please all eat healthy and delicious food too!" offering a warm greeting to her fans.

The revealed photos showed a table full of home-cooked meals that Son Ye-jin had prepared with care. The dining table was neatly set with various Korean side dishes, including braised short ribs (galbi jjim), grilled fish, pancakes (jeon), seasoned vegetables, and seaweed soup, drawing attention.

Another photo showed a variety of dishes, including salad with roasted meat and assorted vegetables, stew, and pancakes. Son Ye-jin's cooking skills stood out as she prepared diverse menus ranging from traditional Korean food to healthy vegetable dishes.

The dining table, with tableware neatly arranged for three people, also offered a glimpse into her harmonious daily life spent with family. Son Ye-jin revealed that even amid her busy schedule, the time she spends sitting around with her family sharing food she made herself is the happiest, bringing warmth to readers.

However, after the photos were released, some netizens expressed disappointment over the appearance and composition of the food. Comments included reactions such as "The gimbap looks tasteless," "Are there housewives who can't roll gimbap?" and "It seems lacking in sense."

On the other hand, many people showed positive reactions to Son Ye-jin's cooking. Netizens left comments such as "Well prepared as a healthy meal," "It looks full of sincerity," and "What is the problem if it is for the family to eat?"

The heated debate surrounding Son Ye-jin's posts is not new. On the 18th, she posted several photos along with the caption, "Hope you have a lovely Sunday!"

The revealed photos captured Son Ye-jin enjoying leisurely time in Yokohama, Japan. She was seen sitting on an amusement ride with both arms raised high, and posing against the backdrop of the sea while wearing sunglasses, enjoying her trip.

Son Ye-jin revealed a natural charm in comfortable attire, such as T-shirts and jeans, loose tops, and wide pants. Her modest daily life, different from the glamorous image she showed at official events, drew attention.

However, some netizens took issue with Son Ye-jin's outfit. Following reactions like "Her fashion is a flop again today" and "Why does she dress like this?", even appearance-degrading comments such as "She looks like a housewife" appeared.

In response, many people defended Son Ye-jin. Netizens expressed opinions that it was excessive to evaluate personal clothing choices, with comments such as "What business is it how she wears her casual clothes?", "It is just comfortable wear for a trip, and it looks pretty," and "I am curious about the fashion of those criticizing."

On the 30th of last month, Son Ye-jin also got caught up in an unexpected controversy over table manners due to a mukbang (eating broadcast) video posted on her Instagram account.

The video released at the time showed Son Ye-jin eating cheese sticks. She was seen stretching the cheese inside the stick long before tasting it.

However, some netizens reacted that they were uncomfortable watching Son Ye-jin eat with slurping sounds and her tongue sticking out. Some overseas netizens also reacted with comments such as "Even actresses eat with slurping sounds," sparking controversy.

From cooking to clothing and eating habits, Son Ye-jin's daily life has become a subject of evaluation without anyone noticing. As reactions continue to nitpick even private moments shared on personal social media, criticism is emerging that this constitutes excessive interference beyond mere interest.
