A press conference for the film was held where they talked about what it's like working with each other. Ye Jin explained why she accepted the casting offer for the film: “The fact that Hyun Bin was positively reviewing the script for The Negotiation was the deciding factor in my decision. I was surprised when I heard that he was looking at the role. It was different from the image Hyun Bin has shown as an actor so far. I thought it was great that he was using this role to take on a bold challenge.”
Meanwhile, Hyun Bin described Ye Jin as a "reassuring presence" because despite the challenges that come with filming separately, he believes that Ye Jin is an actress who can surpass that. He also mentioned how her eyes can speak on their own and that she has "a great gaze."
September 2018: During The Negotiation promotions
Hyun Bin and Ye Jin appeared in a TV show and revealed their first impressions of each other. Our girl thinks that Hyun Bin is the type that actresses fall head over heels for, because he has "really great skin and hair." As for Hyun Bin, he shared that he was so surprised to find out that Ye Jin cut her hair short for The Negotiation, knowing that she had another project after their film. "She cut her hair anyway, and she must have gotten some grief from her follow-up project. It was really motivating for me. What could I do [to be on the same level as her]?" he said.
On September 22, the actress posted a selfie with Hyun Bin on her Instagram account. Could this have been the start of something new?
Come September 25, The Negotiation was announced to have reached one million moviegoers just seven days after its release. Aside from this milestone, Hyun Bin and Ye Jin celebrated chuseok, the Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving Day. Here they are holding a plate of rice cakes:
September also marks Hyun Bin's birth month, BTW! Check out this adorable photo of the two:
January 2019: Hyun Bin and Ye Jin were reportedly spotted together in California
New year, new...rumor. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin were reported to have traveled abroad, according to a post on social media that claimed they were spending time in LA together. This was uploaded on January 9. However, the actor's agency said: “Hyun Bin went to the United States for business and his personal schedule. It is not true that they are traveling together.”
Twelve days later, the two Korean celebs were caught in another rumor. This time, they were seen grocery shopping together. Hyun Bin's agency denied the rumor again: "We checked with him personally, and the dating rumors are not true. He heard earlier that Son Ye Jin is currently in the United States, so they met up together with acquaintances and went grocery shopping together, but it seems like this was misrepresented. There were other acquaintances with them at the grocery store."

He loved working with Ye Jin in The Negotiation that he wanted to have a project again with her...and CLOY was the answer to his wish. The actor said: “There are times when I feel great charm and thrill from seeing the actor opposite me show unexpected acting. There’s also a thrill to my own reaction to that acting. While filming The Negotiation, I saw that in Son Ye Jin, so I thought, ‘I want to try working with her again.’ At the time, [we had filmed separately], so I wanted to try acting with her in the same space, making eye contact, and breathing the same air, and that opportunity came quickly.”
