Actress Son Ye-jin has addressed the online conversation surrounding her latest red-carpet appearance in a characteristically understated way, personally sharing photos from the event and thanking fans despite mixed reactions to her styling.

On June 9, the actress posted images from the 46th Golden Cinematography Awards on her social media account alongside a brief message that simply read, "Thank you," according to Naver.

The post came a day after Son appeared at the ceremony wearing a light pink gown paired with a striking short bob hairstyle. It immediately generated discussion among Koreans about the actress's striking style change.

Although many complimented the actress's new haircut for its modern and elegant look, others were wondering whether the entire styling, from makeup to the dress, suited her face as well as her other glamorous outfits at red carpet events.

Son did not address the criticism head-on but chose instead to highlight it by posting pictures of herself that were being talked about. This was seen by her supporters as a graceful way of responding to controversy by letting the pictures do the talking for her without adding negative comments, instead focusing on expressing gratitude.

The actress's graceful way of handling things won her more approval and respect from the fans who commended her for staying away from criticism. All this occurred when the actress had much to celebrate about after receiving the Best Actress Award at the same event.

Away from the red carpet, Son has also been giving fans rare glimpses into her personal life.

As per Star News, the actress recently shared photos and a video featuring her young son during a family outing at sunset. In the post, captioned "A spoonful of memories," Son was seen smiling brightly while spending time with her child, who was shown observing and gently touching a small crab.

The outlet report noted that the actress has increasingly shared heartwarming family moments with fans in recent months. Son got married to actor Hyun Bin in 2022 and gave birth to their son at the same time.

Although there is still a lot of interest shown regarding her career and personal life, Son manages to keep a relatively good image by sharing only some glimpses of her private life.
