During a recent appearance on Netflix Korea's YouTube channel, actress Son Ye Jin finally addressed fan curiosity about why she often places stickers or emojis over her husband Hyun Bin's face in social media posts.

She explained that while she is comfortable sharing unedited pictures of their daily life, Hyun Bin specifically requests to have his face obscured before the posts go live.

Though the couple freely shared joint photos during their dating period and project promotions, Hyun Bin previously noted in a 2024 interview for his film Harbin that he maintains a cautious stance toward publishing private family moments, clarifying why their post-marriage couple photos consistently feature the protective stickers.
