In January, Son and Hyun Bin sent their fans abuzz after their agencies confirmed that the two “CLOY” stars have been dating.
This, after celebrity website Dispatch reported that the phenomenal on-screen team up went from reel to real after their series wrapped up.
Just hours after the couple’s respective management groups confirmed the news, Son shared on Instagram a photo of a basket of flowers, captioned with her own statement regarding her new relationship.
“It’s a new year,” the actress wrote, as translated by Soompi. “Appearing in front of all of you with news about my personal life rather than work-related news for the first time, I wonder why I feel so embarrassed.”
“Yes, that’s how it turned out,” she said, without directly mentioning her relationship with Hyun Bin.
In the succeeding month, the two paired in a Filipino telco advertisement. The TVC shows the two searching for each other in a public place with Ben&Ben’s original song “Inevitable” playing in the background.
