'Crash Landing on You' couple Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin announce birth of first child

Actors Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, co-stars of the hit K-drama “Crash Landing on You,” announced the birth of their first child, a boy, on Sunday.

The news was confirmed by Son’s agency MSteam Entertainment, which shared that both the mother and child are healthy in an official statement.

Although the baby was due in December, the baby arrived earlier than expected. As a result, Hyun Bin missed the birth of his son due to his current filming schedule for “Harbin” (하얼빈) in Mongolia. The new father has expressed both happiness and regret after missing the first birth of their child, reported TenAsia.

After the successful birth, Son is recovering at a postpartum care center in Seoul.
