Son Ye-jin has a history of philanthropy, having previously donated 100 million won to the Daegu Community Chest of Korea in 2020, specifically to support medical treatment and Covid-19 prevention for underprivileged households.

In collaboration with her husband Hyun Bin, Son donated 200 million won to aid those who lost their homes in a forest fire in Uljin, North Gyeongsang, and Samcheok, Gangwon, in 2022.
