Son Ye Jin has found herself at the center of pregnancy speculation following her recent appearance at a press conference for Netflix’s The Scandal. The actress attended the September 9 event in Seoul alongside co-stars Ji Chang Wook and Nana, but it was her black dress that unexpectedly became the focus of online discussion.
The speculation began after photos showed the actress wearing a short black sleeveless dress layered over a sheer black turtleneck. Its loose A-line silhouette flared outward from the waist, leading some netizens to wonder whether Son Ye Jin could be expecting her second child. However, there is no evidence confirming the speculation.
Son Ye Jin’s Black Dress Sparks Online Speculation
Son Ye Jin’s outfit featured a silhouette that did not closely follow the body, instead becoming wider toward the bottom. Depending on the camera angle and the actress’s posture, the shape of the dress appeared different in photographs from the event. Some online users interpreted the silhouette as a possible pregnancy bump, leading to comments and speculation about a second pregnancy.
However, other viewers quickly pushed back against those assumptions, pointing out that the design of the dress itself could easily create the appearance seen in the photos. Reports have emphasized that photographs alone cannot establish whether someone is pregnant, and there has been no announcement from Son Ye Jin or her agency confirming a pregnancy.
Nana’s Gesture Also Draws Attention At The Event
Interestingly, the same outfit had already attracted attention for a completely different reason during the press conference. When Son Ye Jin sat down, Nana, who was seated beside her, noticed the short hemline and discreetly helped adjust the dress.
The small gesture quickly became a talking point online, with viewers praising Nana for being considerate toward her senior co-star. The moment also showed the two actresses sharing a relaxed interaction despite the formal setting of the event. The dress later became the subject of pregnancy speculation, creating another wave of discussion around the same appearance.

Son Ye Jin Returns To Historical Drama With The Scandal
The press conference was held ahead of the September 18 Netflix premiere of The Scandal, marking Son Ye Jin’s return to the historical-drama genre after 24 years. In the eight-episode series, she plays Lady Cho, an independent woman living in the Joseon era who becomes involved in a dangerous game of desire and relationships. Ji Chang Wook plays Cho Won, while Nana portrays Hui-yeon.
The series is a remake inspired by the 2003 Korean film Untold Scandal, which itself was based on the French novel Dangerous Liaisons. Son Ye Jin has said that the character and the opportunity to explore human desire in a period setting were among the reasons she accepted the role.
What Is Known About Son Ye Jin’s Family Life?
Son Ye Jin married actor Hyun Bin in 2022, and the couple welcomed their first child, a son, later that year. The actress has continued to maintain a relatively private family life while returning to acting projects. The recent pregnancy rumors remain unconfirmed and appear to have originated solely from interpretations of her appearance in photographs. Son Ye Jin’s upcoming The Scandal is instead the confirmed focus of her current promotional activities, with the series set to premiere on Netflix on September 18.
Final Take
Son Ye Jin’s recent press conference appearance has sparked second-pregnancy speculation because of the silhouette of her black dress, but there is currently no confirmation that she is expecting another child.
