To promote the beauty and value of the traditional Korean dress, hanbok and to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a female magazine, Son Ye Jin took a trip to far-away Baekdu Mountain between the borders of China and North Korea for an exclusive photoshoot opportunity, with the magnificent Heaven Lake as the backdrop. "When the Heaven Lake appeared before me, my heart started pumping with adrenaline, it was really emotional. If there was someone among the production staff who cried, I also might cry along with him/her. Before ascending to the peak, I just felt that this was going to be a special experience, that's all. But the moment I saw the Heaven Lake, I suddenly thought to myself 'I must definitely take the most beautiful pictures here'." That was what Son Ye Jin described upon seeing the Heaven Lake for the first time. With Baekdu Mountain situated high above sea level, breathing was always going to be a difficult task for anyone attempting to scale the mountain. But Son Ye Jin showed that she was one tough lady beneath her gentle demeanor, as she scaled the steep steps of the trail without even stopping to rest for a moment, reaching the top before any of the filming crew. She said, "This must be attributed to me exercising everyday." Starting from China's Yanji Airport, past Longjing City which took four hours on road before scaling the mountain, Son Ye Jin always caught the attention from passer-bys who couldn't take their eyes off her. Regardless of whether she was a star or not, they were simply awestruck by her beauty which was rarely seen in their part of the world. Going to Baekdusan seems to be the dream of most South Koreans.
