Hyun Bin to take a year off to plan wedding with Son Ye Jin

Seoul — Not everything you read online is the truth, but there is a rumour going around that on-screen and off-screen lovers Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin may be tying the knot.

A netizen who claimed to be a crew member on K-dramas recently posted online that he had asked his colleagues when he could work with Hyun Bin on a new show. The response he received was that the actor has put his career on hold until next year because he is going to plan for his wedding.

Other netizens were very excited over this piece of unverified news. The Korean media has been speculating about a Bin-Jin wedding for some time. It’s said the Crash Landing On You stars wanted to get married in the second half of 2020 but eventually decided to wait until they get a more auspicious date from a fortune teller.

At the start of the year, wedding rumours were sparked again when it was revealed that Hyun Bin had purchased a 4.8 billion won (S$5.7 million) penthouse. Many assumed it would be his marital home with Son Ye Jin. His agency later denied these claims, though that hasn’t stopped netizens from believing otherwise. Neither Hyun Bin nor Son Ye Jin’s agencies have commented on the new wedding rumours, reported 8days.sg.
