Actress Son Ye Jin is showing nothing but love and support for her husband, fellow actor Hyun Bin, as he gears up for the release of his new movie Harbin.

On December 19, Son Ye Jin made a special appearance at the VIP premiere of Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), which took place at the CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Seoul. This marked the first time Son Ye Jin attended a premiere for one of Hyun Bin’s films, drawing plenty of attention from fans and media alike.

In a brief interview at the event, Son Ye Jin shared, “Why am I more nervous? It’s not even my film, but 'Honey, fighting!'" sending a sweet and supportive message to her husband.

She went on to describe the hard work Hyun Bin put into the film, saying, “I watched him from the side, and he worked so hard that it was almost heartbreaking. His face became gaunt, and I could see the agony in his eyes. As a fellow actor, I understand that pain, so I felt really sorry for him, but I firmly believe that a great movie will come out of it.”

The actor couple’s bond is filled with mutual respect and understanding. Previously, Hyun Bin appeared on You Quiz on the Block to promote Harbin, where he shared sweet stories about his relationship with Son Ye Jin. He revealed that after the birth of their son, he sent a coffee truck to Son Ye Jin while she was filming her first project after childbirth, showing how supportive they are of each other’s careers.

Son Ye Jin is currently filming Park Chan-wook’s new project No Choice, where she stars alongside Lee Byung-hun. Hyun Bin shared, “After we got married, since it was my wife’s first project, I sent a coffee truck in our son’s name to cheer her on. I know how badly she wanted to act. She must have wanted to do it even more while watching me. But as a mother, she had to take care of certain things, so she endured it. I felt sorry for her, but seeing her excited about this project made me feel even happier.”

He also added, “After finishing filming Harbin, I think my wife could feel the pressure I was under. She told me I did a great job. After filming, I will say the same to her, ‘You did great,’” showing just how deeply they support and care for each other.

Meanwhile, Hyun Bin’s much-anticipated film Harbin, set in 1909, follows a high-stakes chase and intrigue between people heading to Harbin with secret plans and those trying to stop them. The film will be released on December 24, and fans are eagerly waiting to see Hyun Bin's performance.

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.
