Kim Sang Hyuk, who used to be in the group Click B, recently said that he had been a victim of a romance scam, which shed light on his own experiences.

A YouTube channel called Namdarimax posted a movie on January 8 KST called "Undefeated in all battles!"

From love scams to plans for the next generation? In this movie, Kim Sang Hyuk was a guest and talked about his own life.

During the talk, Kim Sang Hyuk said that he was single at the moment and that he liked kids.

He was very nice to his nephew and talked about the times they spent together when the nephew was younger.

Kim Sang Hyuk remembered holding his cousin as a baby and feeling the warmth that came from it. He also remembered how the child would pat him in the same way.

He talked about how important time is and said that even though he works to make a living, he thinks about how to spend his time in a useful way, especially with his family.

Kim Sang Hyuk said he wanted to have kids someday and looked forward to the memories he would treasure.

He also said that Kim Sang Hyuk is someone who falls in love quickly.

Unfortunately, he admitted that he had been a victim of a romance scam. In this type of fraud, a person fakes a love relationship with someone in order to get money from them, usually by saying it's for a wedding or business.

Kim Sang Hyuk talked about his experience and said, "There were times when I felt weak, and that happened just last year."

I talk to a lot of people online these days, and one day I got texts from someone on a regular basis.

Even though I wasn't drinking and was only working out, sending this guy messages became my entertainment. He talked about how writing to them was like having a pen pal with a friend from another country and how he became closer to this person even though he didn't know who they were.

"The person said they wanted to celebrate my birthday and asked if I used Bitcoin," he said.

They told me I would get money back if I put US dollars into a certain wallet address.

When they asked me to put money into their business, I felt better about it, and I put 1 million won in.

Since profits kept coming in every six hours, I lost 20 million won in the end.

It might have been a man, but it could have been anyone.

I didn't really love them; I just wanted to hear nice things from them.

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.
