Koo Joon Yup, a "Clon" member who suddenly reported the marriage registration with Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, confessed about his marriage.

On March 8th, Koo Joon Yup said, "I met this healthy and tense young woman. We both became middle-aged and met again. I don't love her face, I love everything about her", he said in an interview with Atstar.

Regarding his denial of dating in the past, he said, "At that time, celebrities' relationships were not welcomed. It was a time when it was active and popular for a long time, so the company also opposed it. In the end, I asked to break up first", adding, "I haven't met anyone better than her. Deep down in my heart, I had memories that she (Barbie Hsu) was a really good woman".

He then continued, "When I heard her (Barbie Hsu) divorce, I felt strange. The moment I contacted her number 20 years ago and heard my voice to ask how she was doing, the flames of old love rose. For months, I made a huge video call to her. Let's get married. I committed it because I thought I didn't have much time to love in my life after I was over 50", adding, "I registered my marriage in Korea because I couldn't enter Taiwan without my family. When I left, I was quarantined in a hotel for 10 days. It is overwhelming to be under the same sky. I need to say hello to her family and get to know her children as soon as possible" he said in a romantic way.

Earlier, Koo Joon Yup appeared on MBC's Radio Star, which aired in 2010, and told everyone about his relationship with popular Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu. He said, "Barbie Hsu got a tattoo on her body as a sign of affection. However, she misunderstood my names Koo Joon Yup's as 'gu', so she made the number 'gu'", suggesting that they had a deep relationship .

Meanwhile, Koo Joon Yup formed a group "Clon" with Kang Won Rae in 1996 and rose to stardom. Since then, he has enjoyed great popularity not only in Korea but also in China. Currently, he is a DJ and painter.

Barbie Hsu also made his face known to Korea in 2001 when she appeared in the Taiwanese version of "Boys Over Flowers". Since then, she has worked with Jung Woo Sung in the movie "Reign of Assassins".

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
