Crash Landing on You star Son Ye-jin: 5 things to know about Korea’s ‘Queen of Melodrama’
Beauty tips and dating advice from the beloved K-drama star best known for movies such as The Negotiation, Be with You and The Classic
Hallyu actress Son Ye-jin blessed our screens by crash-landing in North Korea and consequently, into Ri Jeong-hyeok’s heart. Her new role, the young and rich Yoon Se-ri in TVN’s Crash Landing on You – and now available on Netflix – is a career woman with a bright energy that’s impossible not to love.
While Son doesn’t reveal much about her personal life (she’s never had any dating scandals!), we can’t help but adore the actress even more upon learning about her personal insights and how she’s taken her career so far.
She relieves stress by travelling
In Crash Landing on You, Son Ye-jin’s character, retail CEO Yoon Se-ri, reveals that whenever she feels down, she turns to art.
In real life, Ye-jin prefers to take a holiday and relieve stress by travelling. Her Instagram profile also shows how the actress enjoys herself the most when exploring scenic destinations around the world.
She carries a “natural look” with grace
Ye-jin’s hairstylist and make-up artist told Allure magazine how the actress prefers to keep her looks as realistic as possible. In scenes where she’s just woken up, or will be washing her face, Ye-jin doesn't want to look as if her hair and make-up are professionally done.
Her make-up artist, Mu Jin, says that in most of Ye-jin’s dramas, the actress sticks to a natural look and would require only minimal coverage, as she already has great skin texture. In her North Korea scenes in Crash Landing on You, Mu Jin didn’t even use eye shadow and an eyelash curler on Ye-jin. The make-up artist left her brows undone and even had to tone down Ye-jin’s naturally red lip colour!
