[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actors Son Ye-jin (Son Eon-jin) and Hyun Bin (Kim Tae-pyung) are breaking through the drama to become a real married couple.

Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin will hold their wedding ceremony at 4 p.m. on the 31st at Aston House, Walkerhill Hotel, Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

Both sides announced that they would hold the ceremony privately considering the pandemic situation. Therefore, there will be no photo wall or press conference for wedding guests. The congratulatory speech will be given by actor Jang Dong-gun, who has maintained a long friendship with Hyun Bin.

Many fellow actors and related personnel will attend the wedding as guests. It is reported that Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin recently discreetly handed out invitations to acquaintances while requesting confidentiality.

Aston House, where the ceremony will be held, can accommodate 300 people, but considering the COVID-19 situation, it is believed that guests were invited selectively. Only guests with invitations will be allowed entry.

The drama "Crash Landing on You," in which Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin performed a romance, gained great popularity not only in Korea but also in Japan. Local media are also showing interest, calling it the "wedding of the century."

Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin first met through the 2018 film "Negotiation" and were caught up in dating rumors. Both sides denied it, but two sightings of their trip to the United States were posted online, attracting public attention.

The two appeared together in "Crash Landing on You" the following year and were repeatedly rumored to be dating, but all were denied. On January 1 last year, they admitted to the dating rumors, saying, "We have been dating for two years since March 2020, one month after the drama ended."

Son Ye-jin, who announced the marriage through her agency, said, "I have found someone to spend the rest of my life with. I thought that men and women meeting, sharing their hearts, and promising a future was something beyond imagination, but it naturally came to this point. I am grateful for everything around us that made our relationship fate."

Hyun Bin said, "Having made the important decision of marriage, I am cautiously stepping into the second act of my life. I promised to walk the days ahead together with her, who always makes me smile."
