Actor Son Tae-young visited a well-known restaurant in New York and brought up an unexpected connection with soccer player Son Heung-min, saying she hoped to run into him.
A video titled "Son Tae-young's food tour in search of the best restaurants in New Jersey" was posted Sunday on the YouTube channel "Mrs. New Jersey Son Tae-young."
In the video, Son visited a restaurant in Manhattan with an acquaintance, who noted that G-Dragon and Daesung of the K-pop group Big Bang had been photographed in front of the establishment, making it a celebrity hotspot.
When Son's party arrived, a staff member pointed out the table where G-Dragon and Daesung had sat and led them there. The staff member even brought out the glasses the two had used, adding to the atmosphere.
Conversation during the meal naturally turned to Son Heung-min, who was in New York for a match.
After hearing which hotel Son Heung-min's party was staying at, Son said she hoped to bump into the footballer in the parking lot.
Son then brought up the fact that she and Son Heung-min share the same Miryang Son clan lineage. "If you trace it back, I could be his older sister — or maybe his younger sister," she said, before adding, "I think I need to meet this relative of mine," drawing laughs.
Meanwhile, Son married actor Kwon Sang-woo in 2008. The couple has a son and a daughter.
