Actress Son Ye-jin delighted fans with a casual glimpse into her daily life, sharing a short video of herself enjoying a special dish recently introduced on television.
On December 28, Son Ye-jin uploaded a clip to her social media account showing pork belly sizzling on a grill, accompanied by a simple caption that read, “I enjoyed the thousand-layer pork.” The post quickly drew attention for its warm and relatable tone.
From TV Show to Home Table
The dish, known as “thousand-layer pork,” gained buzz after appearing on MBC’s popular variety show The Manager, where broadcaster Lee Young-ja prepared it for Son Ye-jin’s husband, Hyun Bin.
The pork belly is prepared by making countless fine cuts across the meat, enhancing both texture and flavor when grilled. During the broadcast, Hyun Bin showed visible curiosity as the pork cooked alongside leafy greens, whole garlic cloves, and fresh kimchi. After tasting it, he praised the balance between lean meat and fat, noting the rich and savory flavor.
Later in the episode, when Lee Young-ja offered several portions of the dish, Hyun Bin raised his hand without hesitation, taking some home. Son Ye-jin’s social media post appears to confirm that the pork made it safely to their dinner table.
Fans React to the Everyday Moment
Rather than a glamorous update, fans were charmed by the simplicity of the video. The clip showed Son Ye-jin calmly grilling the pork, offering a rare look at her everyday routine and adding to the couple’s reputation for being quietly down to earth.
A Well-Known Couple With Ongoing Projects
Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, both born in 1982, married in 2022 and have one son together. Their relationship began after working together on the film The Negotiation and the hit drama Crash Landing on You.
Son Ye-jin is also preparing for her return to the big screen. She recently confirmed her appearance in director Park Chan-wook’s upcoming film No Other Choice, marking her first movie project in seven years.
From award-winning performances to sharing a home-cooked meal, the couple continues to draw attention in both professional and personal moments, often in the most understated ways.
