Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin’s romance – why didn’t we guess? 5 times Crash Landing on You’s ‘RiRi couple’ hinted they were dating in real life
The ‘BinJin’ K-drama power couple only confirmed they were dating at the beginning of 2021, but after all these celebrity sightings and Instagram hints, we should have known about the romance all along
“BinJin” were spotted in an LA supermarket
On January 21, 2019 – just a day after the final episode of Hyun’s drama Memories of the Alhambra aired – a scandal erupted when a picture emerged online of two individuals who appeared to be the actor and Son. While both figures were wearing caps, and the female figure was also wearing sunglasses, fans were convinced of the pair’s identities.
Just 11 days before that photo went viral online, accounts had also emerged from eyewitnesses who claimed to have observed Son and Hyun travelling in the US, even spotting them dining with Son’s parents during the trip. However, both stars’ agencies denied the rumours, claiming that Hyun was in the States alone on his personal schedule and that Son was also travelling solo.
When the grocery shopping photo emerged, the stars’ respective agencies repeated the denials once more, adding “we are looking into whether the photos are real and how the photos were taken. We will give out an official statement at a later time.” However, there was never any follow-up.
