Actor Hyun Bin has opened up about his love story with his wife, Son Ye Jin, and it’s melting hearts everywhere!

On the December 18 episode of tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, Hyun Bin appeared as a special guest and shared glimpses of his personal and professional life.

When host Yoo Jae Suk jokingly asked, “Do they call you Hyun Bin at home too?” the actor replied with a laugh, “Yes, even at home, they call me Hyun Bin. They say the more I’m called by that name, the better, so even my parents call me Hyun Bin.”

Celebrating his 20th year since debuting, Hyun Bin reflected on his journey into acting. “I was just an ordinary student when a senior introduced me to the theater club. After performing, the audience’s applause felt so different—it was a new and exciting experience for me.”

When asked about his personality, he humbly said, “I think I’m just an ordinary person,” surprising both Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho.

Talking about his breakout role in My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Hyun Bin shared, “It was the project that introduced me as an actor. I had a great time filming it with such amazing people.”

On his iconic sparkling tracksuit from Secret Garden, he laughed, “We made about four of them, and I still have them.” When Yoo Jae Suk joked about whether he still wears them, Hyun Bin responded with a smile.

But the highlight of the interview was when Hyun Bin spoke about his relationship with Son Ye Jin, which blossomed during their hit drama Crash Landing on You. “It’s a project that gave me so much—not just amazing ratings, but also my wife,” he said with a shy smile.

He explained how their romance started naturally after working together. “We first met while filming The Negotiation. I thought it would be nice to meet her again in a romantic drama, and then we reunited through Crash Landing on You. After the drama ended, we stayed in touch, and things just happened naturally.”

Yoo Jae Suk couldn’t resist mentioning Son Ye Jin’s adorable comment from a past interview where she said, “Sa-rang (their child) is my first love.” Hyun Bin playfully responded, “I see,” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by the couple’s sweet story and Hyun Bin’s candid moments during the show. It’s safe to say Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin’s real-life romance is just as magical as their on-screen chemistry!

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.
