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.

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
