For her outstanding acting skills, popularity, and even her sense of style, she has been recognized by a number of prestigious award-giving bodies like the Baeksang Arts Awards, Grand Bell Awards, Blue Dragon Film Awards, Chunsa Film Art Awards, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, Busan Film Critics Awards, and Seoul International Drama Awards, among several others. The 38-year-old actress, who was born in Daegu, South Korea, was just a fresh-faced 18-year-old when she jumped into the crazy beautiful world of celebhood, an industry that quickly christened her with the nickname “the nation’s first love.” 10 K-Dramas, 21 movies, 50 awards, and 72 nominations later, she has also come to be known as the “Hallyu Queen,” and rightfully so. Two decades of passion, hard work, and perseverance in the entertainment industry have contributed to her growth, maturity, and excellence as an actress, making her every inch deserving of the title. Son Ye-jin is not known as the “Queen of Melodrama” for nothing. In the first photo she posted, one thing particularly stood out to us-a gorgeous cake with a message from her Filipino fans: “Sending love Philippines.
And I’m eating cakes are too pretty to cut with my family very often.” She continued to remind her fans that she appreciates and never forgets everything they do for her, and that she hopes to meet them again someday and “share a warm hug” post-pandemic. Posting collage photos of the bouquets, plants, and cakes she received from them, she said in part, “My house is always beautifully filled with the scent of flowers and plants that I’ve received from you. Touching base with her 3.3 million Instagram followers, last September 21, Son Ye-jin wrote a message that surely brightened up the day of her biggest, most die-hard fans during these challenging times. But hey, their efforts don’t go unnoticed and unappreciated. Her fans from all over the world always go the extra mile to make her feel loved-even when the pandemic makes it challenging now to send things her way. Is she running a flower shop? A bakery? A potted plant store? No, this is just a typical scene in the house of Hallyu queen Son Ye-jin.
