Actress Uhm Ji-won recently praised the son of celebrity couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, drawing attention to her admiration for his looks.

On the Jan. 26 episode of SBS variety show “My Little Old Boy,” Uhm Ji-won appeared as a special MC and mentioned her close friends Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin.

“Aren’t they the couple of the century?” she said. “Even their baby is incredibly handsome.”

She added, “The child is so beautiful. He’s not my baby, but I almost feel proud enough to show him off. Genetics could have gone another way, but thankfully, they didn’t.” Her comments sparked curiosity about the toddler's appearance.

Previously, Hyun Bin had shared on the December 2023 broadcast of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” that their son had recently turned two years old. “I think he resembles his mom more,” he said. “My wife wants him to look like her, and I want him to look like me. My features are sharp, and my wife’s are rounder, so I thought a boy with sharper features might look better.”

Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who starred together in the hit tvN drama “Crash Landing on You,” confirmed their romantic relationship after the show. The couple tied the knot in March 2022 and welcomed their son in November of the same year.
