Seoul — The South Korean drama Crash Landing On You is no doubt one of the hottest shows of 2020.

The 16-episode series began in December 2019 and ended in February 2020. Its stars have, however, been reported to be keeping in touch.

The media outlet Dispatched reported on Friday (Jan 1) that led actress Son Ye Jin and co-star Hyun Bin have been seeing each other since the conclusion of the drama. Their agencies also confirmed that the duo are currently dating.

The same afternoon, Son took to Instagram to share news of her relationship with Hyun Bin. She posted a photo of a basket of flowers with the following caption:

“It’s a new year.
Appearing in front of all of you with news about my personal life rather than work-related news for the first time, I wonder why I feel so embarrassed..
Hmm…mm..umm…
Yes, that’s how it turned out..^.^
Haha…
Umm…^^;;
I’m not sure what I should say, but I thought I should at least say something to all of you..
It feels very awkward and strange..^^;
I’m thankful to have been able to meet a good person, and I’ll work hard to tend [the relationship] with care…
The love and support that all of you give me, I’m always keeping it in my heart.. I hope there will be many good things in the new year. Be healthy. Ppyong.”
