Actress Son Ye Jin found herself embroiled in an unexpected fashion controversy after sharing a happy update from her vacation in Japan. Unfiltered casual photos from her trip drew sharp comments from some netizens, sparking widespread discomfort.
On October 18, Son Ye Jin uploaded several photos to her social media account alongside the caption, “Hope you have a lovely Sunday!”
The published images showed Son Ye Jin enjoying her travels in Yokohama, Japan. In one photo, she sits on an amusement park ride with both arms raised high, smiling brightly. In another, she poses with a V-sign against a seaside backdrop, fully savoring her relaxed downtime.
Her carefree vacation style particularly caught the eye. She showcased a comfortable yet distinctive look by pairing a black T-shirt with jeans and sunglasses in one frame, while matching a gray sweatshirt with a voluminous white skirt and sneakers in another.
However, some netizens directed their attention elsewhere, leaving comments that belittled her appearance and personal style.
Critical responses included remarks such as “Her fashion is a miss again today,” “She looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman,” “If you lack fashion sense, let a stylist handle your casual outfits,” and “She really doesn’t seem to know anything about fashion.”
This is not the first time Son Ye Jin’s fashion choices have become a topic of debate.
At the Golden Cinematography Awards in June, her dress and hairstyle prompted reactions that her “stylist must be an anti-fan.” Later in September, her everyday fashion went viral again after she shared photos taken by her son.
This time, the fashion critiques extended even to personal vacation photos rather than an official public appearance. In contrast to the joyful moments Son Ye Jin shared with a bright smile, the overly harsh evaluations from certain netizens left a bitter aftertaste.
Meanwhile, Son Ye Jin married actor Hyun Bin in 2022 and welcomed a son in November of that same year. She recently met viewers through the Netflix series The Scandal.
