The unconventional look of Park Seo Joon as Prince Yan in 'The Marvels' has caught the attention of online users ahead of its release next week. Marvel Studios released a new trailer on November 3rd, which sparked curiosity and interest among fans.

Park Seo Joon becomes the third Korean actor to appear in a Marvel film, following the footsteps of actors Soo Hyun and Ma Dong Seok. In the upcoming movie 'The Marvels', Park Seo Joon portrays the role of Prince Yan from the alien planet Aladna.

Following this reveal, Korean netizens took to the internet to share their thoughts about his unconventional appearance, symbolizing the alien prince.

More than 400 netizens commented, and here are some of their remarks: "Reminds me of Golden Cheese Cookie (a character from the game 'Cookie Run: Kingdom')." "lmaooo" "I think he looks just fine." "Eh, at least I can tell he's Park Seo Joon, so it's all good." "Kuzco?" "lol I don't think it's that crude. I think we're just so used to seeing him in romcoms." "At least he is in a human form." "I honestly think it would have been better if he actually had green or blue paint on.

That would have been at least iconic/memorable. This is giving nothing." "Is he like... a moth god?" "Giving very flamboyant oriental gay vibes." "Idk, I kinda like that crown. Giving traditional three kingdom era's golden crown aesthetic." "I think just the overall quality of the costume is bad." "I heard his screen time is literally 5 minutes..." "I thought he filmed an episode of SNL." "This is hilarious lol I must see this movie."

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.
