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.

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
