Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin have created a memorable moment in Korean entertainment history. The beloved real-life couple became the first ever to win Best Actress and Best Actor at the same Blue Dragon Film Awards, securing top honors during the 46th ceremony held on November 19 at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul. This also marked the first time the pair attended the prestigious event together as a married couple, making the night even more meaningful.
A Heartfelt Speech and a Special Name Reveal
While accepting her Best Actress award for her role as Yoo Mi Ri in Park Chan Wook’s No Other Choice, Son Ye Jin expressed gratitude not only to her colleagues and fans but also to her family. In a tender moment, she referred to her husband using his real name, Kim Tae Pyung, and publicly revealed their son’s official name, Kim Woo Jin, for the first time.
Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin welcomed their son on November 27, 2022. Their agency announced at the time that both mother and baby were healthy. Though the actress affectionately called him “Alkong” — a pet name meaning sweetie or cutie — in previous interviews and posts, she chose this special night to share his real name with the world. “And finally, the man whom I love so much, Kim Tae Pyung, and my baby Kim Woo Jin, I will share the happiness of receiving this award with them,” she said, visibly touched.
Hyun Bin’s Loving Shout-Out to His Family
Hyun Bin later took the stage to receive the Best Actor award for his powerful performance as Ahn Jung Geun in Harbin. Ending his speech with warmth and sincerity, he acknowledged his wife and son with words that moved the audience. “To my wife, Yejin-ssi, whose very existence gives me so much strength, and also, our son — I want to say, I love you both so much and am truly grateful,” he shared. Son Ye Jin responded with a shy finger heart when the cameras captured her reaction, melting fans worldwide.
A Viral Moment for the Power Couple
In addition to their major acting awards, both stars also received Popular Star honors. Their affectionate interaction — exchanging smiles, embracing, and celebrating each other’s success — quickly went viral across social media platforms. Fans praised their genuine love and mutual support, calling the moment historic not just for the awards but for the couple’s beautiful public acknowledgement of their family.
