In 2018, South Korean daily newspaper Ilgan Sports broke the news that Son and his fellow Sense8 co-star Bae Doona were dating. The report claimed their relationship deepened when Bae gave acting tips to the actor. Son would often visit the Dongbinggo-dong district in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where Bae lives. Both denied the rumours.

Last year, media outlet Osen reported that Son and actress Lee Seol were dating. Both of their respective agencies dismissed the rumours, according to Soompi.
