Actress Son Ye Jin revealed how her life has changed since marrying actor Hyun Bin and becoming a mother.

During a press conference at Hyundai Department Store Jungdong Branch in Bucheon, Son Ye Jin discussed being chosen as the main figure for the "Actor Special Exhibition" at the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN).

Son Ye Jin who gave birth to her son in November 2022, shared, "The past two years have been filled with significant events that feel like the end of Chapter 1 in my acting career. Now, as I enter Chapter 2 and participate in this special exhibition at BIFAN, it's a chance for reflection and renewal. I'm deeply moved by this unique opportunity."

Reflecting on marriage and motherhood, Son Ye Jin expressed, "For those who have experienced it, marriage and childbirth open up a whole new world. Raising a child for almost two years has taught me to appreciate the simple moments in life. Previously, work consumed me completely, and I struggled to find balance."

She continued, "These days, seeing my child enjoy a meal of baby food brings immense joy. Knowing that we've navigated through the day successfully fills me with happiness. My values have shifted, and I find fulfillment in these everyday moments. Parenting is challenging, but it has also brought a new kind of happiness. I am living a very contented life."

The "Actor Special Exhibition" titled 'Unique Son Ye-jin' will celebrate her 23-year acting journey with events including a commemorative booklet, panel discussions, and a photo exhibition.

The 28th BIFAN is scheduled from the 4th to the 14th across various venues in Bucheon City.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
