There have been so many shocking (as in never thought of those two together) Dispatch dating news breaks on New Year’s Day though the last two years have felt rather meh in big names. I still remember Rain–Kim Tae Hee as I was running through the airport to catch a early morning New Year’s Day flight out of Hokkaido, and then the following year it was Lee Seung Gi–Yoona. Ah, good times good times. This year the Dispatch New Year’s Day couple reveal is simultaneously squee and meh, allow me to explain and start with the exciting stuff. The tabloid news agency broke the squeeworthy news that top stars Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are dating! For the past 8 months! Since March 2020! So it’s after their drama Crash Landing on You finished filming, which makes sense.
Dispatch says they started missing each other after the drama finished and realized their feelings, and often date at the golf course as they both love to play. With the squee part out of the way, the meh part comes from these two having multiple rumors of dating already including before CLOY after they filmed thriller movie Negotiation and were snapped in Los Angele grocery shopping together. They denied the rumors then and it died away until being revived with CLOY fan shipping. I honestly think they look great together onscreen, have undeniable and lovely chemistry, and in paper (career, personality, background) would make a great couple. If they really are dating for realz this time, and not trolling us for the umpteenth time, then yay and congrats and thanks for starting of 2021 on a positive note!

I literally screamed when I got the Twitter notif for this ? Aside from the 8-month timeline being absolute bullshit (they’ve so clearly been together since post-movie promos in 2018) I am so, so, so happy with a Dispatch couple reveal in a way that I haven’t been in a long time. They still haven’t officially confirmed it yet so they might end up trolling us all still but I’ll never forget the absolute joy I felt when I first heard the news. Please just get drop the engagement notice and let us start 2021 off right you two ?
Since they confirmed this time, I think we should expect a wedding announcement really soon. Congratulations #binjin
8 months? LOL
Happy for you both!
Please also cover teasers of Kim So Hyun and Kim Yoo King upcoming dramas.
Anyways, hope that Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin couple is true. Fighting, CLOY ship!
I 100% think they have been dating for years, either on and off or continuously and just don't want to announce the news. I'm sure if they decide to marry they will finally announce it at that time.
Great news !
They both looks really compatible. Likely very good friends who might be just dating casually and enjoying each other's company without pressure from themselves or the outside world. Let's respect them and don't pressure them. Still, a major *squeee* from me.
I've read somewhere that their agencies already confirmed it. I'm so happy. May they live a happily ever after. I hope I won't be hearing any news like SongSong Couple when they split. It was heartbreaking.
BinJin Ship fighting ❤️
They are considerably veteran stars and of marrying age, I believe they are seriously considering a long term commitment, thus keeping their romance as low key as psb.
I love love love CLOY and I think they made a great OTP, though I enjoyed the secondary OTP more, but then I share the happiness of all BinJin shippers out there.
I hope the media, fans and shippers will leave them alone from now on and let them date peacefully. We just need to hope for the best to come out of this.
Anyway, congrats BinJin shippers and congrats to both of them for finding love in each other.
Congratulations ... Finally...the news most people were waiting for..They CONFIRMED..
Although I would have preferred if their privacy was not outed by Dispatch.. Anyways i hope all the best for their future..
On a side note...Can we not compare them with Songsong..Both couples are different..and it is a sensitive topic for SS fans..
I don't think anyone believes that 8 month thing.??
HB and YJ story is different cause their story didn't start with on-screen romance as their movie was a crime thriller.. That's why their case is a bit exception amongst other Kdrama couples where love usually blossoms after the drama..
Yes, like all of y'all, a major squeee when I saw this. Such joyful news to ring in 2021. As much as they are celebs, they are still human. Now that the news is confirmed, I hope that fans and Korean paparazzi give them respect/space to grow their relationship. Let's hope that we'll get the best ending, as them being happily married like Rain-Kim Tae Hee.
Regardless of the 8 month long, I screamed when both agency confirmed the news. We all know that this is a first for SYJ's career ever so it only means they are in a realllly stable relationship. I hope they continue to have a good time and enjoy each others company. No pressure. Way to start our 2021, yay.
But yeah, congrats to BinJin shippers all around the world ??#ingrocerywetrust, no?
