Hyun Bin has shared a touching message of gratitude toward his wife, Son Ye Jin, as he reflected on his role in the upcoming film Harbin and his life as a father.

In an interview on December 19th at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Hyun Bin discussed his role in the highly anticipated movie Harbin, set for release on December 24th.

The film, directed by Woo Min Ho, tells the story of Ahn Jung Geun, a revered figure in Korean history, and his comrades as they journey to Harbin in 1909.

Hyun Bin plays Ahn Jung Geun, a character full of both determination and loneliness, and performs high-difficulty action scenes.

During the interview, Hyun Bin opened up about his personal life and the support he received from his wife, Son Ye Jin, throughout the filming process. The couple, who married in March 2022, welcomed their first child in November 2022.

Hyun Bin expressed his gratitude for Son Ye Jin’s understanding of the challenges he faced while filming, saying, “The nature of the film made it difficult. My wife, being an actress herself, understood this very well. After filming, she said, ‘You did a great job, you worked hard,’ and those words meant a lot to me.”

He continued, “While I was busy with filming, my wife must have felt lonely. She must have also struggled with parenting, so I’m thankful that she expressed her feelings.”

As a father of a two-year-old, Hyun Bin shared a deeper sense of responsibility. He said, “Before starting this project and just before filming began, I had a child. Later, when my son is old enough to watch videos and understand things, I want to tell him, ‘When you were born, your dad was playing the role of a great figure in our country.’” He added, “Personally, that was my intention. I wanted to make Harbin well, especially for this child.”

Hyun Bin concluded with a heartfelt wish for his son's future, saying, “I want to leave a good world for him. Whatever point it may be, the future should be better, and I feel the responsibility as a father to contribute to that.”

Hyun Bin's words reflect his deep love and commitment to both his family and his work, as he aims to create a lasting legacy for his son.

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.
