According to Allkpop, at a recent press conference to launch the movie No Other Choice, Son Ye Jin shared, Becoming a real mother helps me portray this character better.
But actor Lee Byung Hun, when he heard Son Ye Jin say that, was confused and replied: Its not like what I saw on set. The child actress who plays our daughter (Choi So Yul) asked me many questions, I kept answering them until the camera suddenly started, making me startled. But Son Ye Jin had never answered her child once.
I once asked, Cant you answer me a few questions? and she said, I can help you answer me. But when I heard what Son Ye Jin said today, I realized that she was really cherishing that moment in her own way.
Son Ye Jin confusedly explained, "The child actors are very curious and have a lot of questions, but because I have many emotional segments and have to listen to the director's detailed instructions, I need to focus."
Although at the press conference, the story told by Lee Byung Hun was considered a joke that made the entire hall laugh. But after the story spread online, there were negative comments about Son Ye Jin, saying that the personality of the 1982-born beauty was not as good as words and appearance.
As malicious comments increased, child actress Choi So Yul's mother spoke up to defend Son Ye Jin.
"We were surprised. It was actually just a funny, gentle story he told for fun. I think it is a bit unfair to exaggerate things. One day we will tell it more fully, but the truth is that Son Ye Jin is always very kind, said Choi So Yuls mother.
Another heart-stopping story about Son Ye Jin preparing a hard-to-find toy as a gift for Choi So Yul was also revealed. "It was the best Christmas gift ever," the child actress's mother expressed her gratitude.
The mother also has Son Ye Jin's phone number and often leaves encouragement messages on the actress's personal page.
Meanwhile, "No Other Choice" marks Son Ye Jin's return to the screen after more than 3 years, since the TV series "Age 39". As soon as this work was completed, Son Ye Jin had a wedding with Hyun Bin at the end of March 2022 and gave birth to her first son in the same year.
"No Other Choice" directed by famous director Park Chan Wook, tells the story of Mansoo (Lee Byung Hun), a man who seems to have achieved everything in life, until he is suddenly fired.
Determined to protect his wife, two children and the house he struggled to buy, Mansoo began a personal battle to find a new job.
Accompanying him on this journey is his wife Miri (Son Ye Jin), she is a reasonable woman, always steadfast in all situations and living positively.
The film will be released in Korea in September and is being invited to participate in the main competition category of this year's Venice International Film Festival.
