Hyun Bin and Son Ye-Jin relationship timeline: before Crash Landing on You K-drama’s ‘RiRi couple’ were spotted together at PiFan, on holiday in LA and appeared in Korean movie The Negotiation
‘BinJin’ made a dream couple in Netflix’s Crash Landing on You – but did you know Son Ye-Jin and Hyun Bin both appeared in 2011 K-drama Secret Garden, and even sat next to each other at 2014’s Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival?
Fondly dubbed RiRi (from their characters’ names Yoon Se-ri and Captain Ri) by fans who’ve been worshipping them since Crash Landing On You’s on-screen romance – or BinJin by fans convinced they’ve been dating since 2018 – all onlookers seem to agree that Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin are deemed a match made in heaven.
Hyun Bin and Son are both veteran actors in their own right, share the same birth year, and might even seem fated for each other, having crossed paths in the past more than once even before Crash Landing On You. Here’s a timeline.
In 2011, Son Ye-jin made a cameo in Hyun Bin’s hit drama, Secret Garden. She appeared in the last episode as herself. However, they did not meet on set.
In 2014, Hyun Bin and Son attended the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan), where they sat next to each other and were both awarded the year’s Producers’ Choice Awards. BinJin shared a few moments on stage, and the pair walking together felt like a foreshadowing of flames to come.
