Son Ye Jin Shares Changes as Working Mother: ‘I Feel the Happiness of Another World’

Son Ye Jin opened up about her return to the industry and her life as a working mother. 

Embracing her mommy era and, at the same time, continuing her career as an actress, the South Korean top star admitted that she experienced a lot of changes in her life. 

Gracing the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival for being honored at the Actor of the Year Special Exhibition, the "Crash Landing on You" star wowed the crowd during the press conference. 

Showcasing her undeniable beauty with oozing grace and elegance, Son Ye Jin was welcomed by Organizing Committee Chairman Jeong Ji Young. 

According to him, he could never forget how "The Classic" director described the actress. 

"When I first met Son Ye Jin, the director of the movie 'The Classic' said this: 'When I first met her, I thought she had a combination of innocence and sadness, but her spectrum has broadened as time went by. She never stays in one place. I think this saying is perfect for me," she said, as mentioned by a media outlet. 

To recall, Son Ye Jin starred in the romance melodrama released in 2003 with Cho Seung Woo and Jo In Sung, directed by Kwak Jae Yong of "All About Women."

As for the female top star, she expressed how grateful she is to be honored for her work through special exhibits. 

According to her, she used to think that exhibitions like this were for seniors and well-respected actors only and had doubts about whether she deserved something remarkable like this in her career.

Son Ye Jin Reflects Being a Working Mom

The "Thirty-Nine" star has fully embraced a new era in her life-being a wife and mother to her nearly 2-year-old son. On top of this, she is also continuing her activities as an actress. 

As for Son Ye Jin, she described the feeling as a "different world." 

According to her, after she gave birth to her firstborn, she realized that every single day is precious. 

She also talked about her life before becoming a mother and how important work was for her at the time. 

"Before, work was everything to me, and I think I was constantly struggling within that. I couldn't separate myself from work." 

Interestingly, the top star mentioned that being a wife and mother, despite the changes, is "another world."

"These days, I'm so happy even if my child eats just one meal of baby food. I feel happy that I got through the day well and that the day ended safely, so I think my values have changed. Of course, raising a child is very hard work, but I feel the happiness of another world, so I'm doing well and happy."
