At a press conference for her show Thirty-Nine held recently, she also thanked people for their loving wishes on her engagement. She said, “I am just so thankful. I am not sure what to say about such a personal matter in my life, here at the press conference for the drama ‘Thirty, Nine’, but I feel that I am encountering such important events at the start of 2022, both as an actress and as a person, and so it almost feels like destiny. I have received so many congratulations from everyone, and so I want to take this opportunity to thank you all.”
A week ago, Son took to Instagram and shared the announcement of her wedding. ““I thought long and hard about how to share this story because it’s an important one. I found someone to spend the rest of my life with. Yes, it’s him. It happened so naturally… But, isn’t that destiny? Just being with him, I feel warm and protected. Please help us celebrate the beginning of our future.”
