Men are terrible photographers. At least that's what wives, including mine, tell their husbands. So when Korean M actress Son Ye-Jin expressed her delight on Instagram last month that: "My husband's photography skills are gradually improving", it set the Internet abuzz. Naturally. Her husband is Hyun Bin.
The couple who set hearts ablaze and tear ducts flowing in the blockbuster Korean drama Crash Landing on You and later committed for good reportedly bonded over their love for golf. So when Hyun Bin took a moment from his game to photograph his wife's shot from a lower angle, he was not only improving her golf skills but also her opinion of his growing prowess as an 'Instagram husband' - especially for a man who does not have any social media accounts himself.
In-person, the Korean megastar is personable and exudes charismatic magnetism undimmed even by the gruff attitude of his ever-present bodyguard. Certainly, his signature charm came to the fore, rivalling the prominence of even his cheekbones, at the 2023 Omega European Masters at Crans-Montana in the Swiss Alps.
