Son Ye Jin addresses privacy concerns regarding her son

Actress Son Ye Jin has addressed concerns regarding the privacy of her four-year-old son during a recent interview promoting her Netflix series, ‘The Scandal’. She expressed sensitivity toward unauthorized photography of her child, noting that while she and her husband, Hyun Bin, do not mind being photographed, they actively request that passersby delete images of their son to protect his future privacy and ease of movement.

Son’s comments have sparked mixed reactions among the public. Some netizens criticized her for previously making comments about her son’s appearance in broadcasts, suggesting she contributes to the public interest. Conversely, others defended her, arguing that as a public figure, she has a right to protect her child from being a subject of public scrutiny and that the responsibility lies with those taking unauthorized photos.

During the same interview, Son also discussed the challenges of balancing motherhood with her professional career, noting the mental load of childcare. She also touched upon her return to historical dramas with ‘The Scandal’, a series inspired by the novel ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’, which has received praise for its production design and her performance.
