Actress Jeon Hye Bin may have caught K-drama enthusiasts’ attention in the 2025 South Korean series Beyond the Bar on Netflix last month. The K-celeb, however, made news this week due to a misfortune she suffered during a recent Indonesia trip with her family.
The K-drama actor took to her Instagram account on Thursday KST to share a screenshot of map directions focussed on the town of Ubud in Bali. Highlighting an area on the virtual map snap, she told her IG followers, who may be considering travelling to the same region, to be careful due to theft concerns.
Sharing her personal story, Jeon Hye Bin divulged that her own credit card had been stolen in the area. Within ten minutes of having lost the crucial belonging, she lost 15 million Korean won (about US $10,700). “Please be careful,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories along with the map of Ubud.
Beyond the Bar actor Jeon Hye Bin in Bali
According to posts on her personal SNS profile, Jeon was visiting Bali, Indonesia, to celebrate her young son’s birthday. It also happened to be the place where she got married to her dentist partner in 2019. According to K-media outlet Chosun, her husband is three years her senior, and they welcomed their son in September 2022.
In a previous personal update, she shared a carousel post, including photos of her Bali trip with her family. Noting how she and her partner had gotten married there, she said they had returned to travel destination as a family of three. Baring her heart to her fans, she expressed that the occasion also marked the third anniversary of her becoming a mother.
Earlier this year, Jeon shed light on a previous theft she was a victim of. Addressing the issue with ironic hilarity, she wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time, “To the person who stole my shoes, I hope you wear them prettily,” as per Koreaboo. The versatile actress spoke out on SNS after someone allegedly stole her shoes while she was at the gym, as South Korean gym etiquette generally dictates that outdoor shoes be kept out.
