Korean actress Son Ye-jin is making her return to the big screen after years away, partnering with veteran star Lee Byung-hun in the film 'Righteous Man: Initiation'. However, before the film’s release, Lee Byung-hun caused a stir online during a press conference by half-jokingly revealing that Son Ye-jin ignored the child actor on set, which led to a wave of criticism directed at her.
Son Ye-jin later clarified that she was simply too immersed in her role to pay attention to those around her. Whether Lee Byung-hun’s comment was a harmless joke or had an underlying meaning, only the two of them know. Recently, both stars were spotted at the airport on their way to attend the Venice Film Festival, with Son Ye-jin turning heads in a pure white outfit and attracting a sea of flashing cameras.
She also posted on her social media shortly before, sharing a photo of her and Lee Byung-hun sitting side by side, with her bag placed next to him. People usually only put their personal belongings next to friends they are close with. From this photo, it seems that Son Ye-jin and Lee Byung-hun still have a friendly relationship in private. The public doesn’t need to over-interpret Lee Byung-hun’s words—the focus should be on the actors’ work.
