Firstly, thank you to @bluepebbles, a long-time Hyun Bin fan, for transferring this precious thread to me. It is an honour. This is an exciting project. But one which I anticipate will take some time

Hyun Bin reveals why 'Secret Garden' was destined for him

Kathleen A. Llemit (Philstar.com) - August 9, 2021 - 1:11pm

 

MANILA, Philippines — Those who have recently started to watch K-drama might have come to love Hyun Bin in "Crash Landing On You" but the Hallyu superstar is known for other equally popular romantic comedies such as "My Lovely Sam Soon" and "Secret Garden." The latter, he said, was destined for him.

 

Although he had been in showbiz for quite some time starting young and notably being part of the fourth season of the hugely popular youth sitcom "Nonstop," Hyun Bin got his big break in 2005 when he got cast opposite Kim Sun-ah in the romantic-comedy (rom-com) "My Lovely Sam Soon." After this show, he explored other genres in TV and film.

It took another five years before he got to star in another rom-com, but this time, with a touch of fantasy. It also created the "Hyun Bin syndrome" in South Korea.

 

"'Secret Garden' felt like destiny to me. After 'My Lovely Sam Soon,' I didn’t really get to do romantic comedies. I also just had more chances to do other genres. Then the moment I thought I could do a romantic comedy, I had 'Secret Garden'," he shared at a recent virtual fan meet presented by his endorsement, Smart Communications, Inc.

 

"Secret Garden" sees him romancing on-screen another of Korea's OG (original) Hallyu superstars, Ha Ji-won. It's a body-swap romantic-fantasy-comedy between chaebol scion Kim Joo-won (Hyun Bin) and stunt woman Gil Ra-im (Ha Ji-won).

Fan meet host and fellow "Nonstop" alum Park Kyung-lim gushed about "Secret Garden," saying it's one of her favorites of his works. She then asked if Hyun Bin had any idea that the drama, its lines and memorable scenes would become hugely popular.

 

"I had no idea. I found the scenes like the foam kiss scene and the sit-up scene quite interesting, but at the same time, I found it a little cringy, too. But I did want to make those scenes entertaining," he said.

 

Kyung-lim asked if "Secret Garden" was a turning point in his career. The actor agreed.

 

"It was indeed. Mostly because it was the last drama I shot before I entered the army. Thanks to this drama, I could wrap up what I have been doing and move on to the next level, which was very nice to me," he said.

 

In 2011, Hyun Bin enlisted with the South Korean Marine Corps in accordance with their country's laws where all males are required to serve two years in the military before turning 30.

The last Esquire spread was with Hyun Bin X Omega earlier this year. Will this be for Omega too? We've yet to see much from this representation.

Sadly, no link to the original interview. Will update on page 1 if found later. But always good to read Hyun Bin's thoughts ❤

 

@hyunbinsfiancee

[trans] In an interview, #HyunBin talked about love and ideal type

"I'm the type of single-hearted love for a woman. The same when working, my competitive side is very strong. If there is something I decided to do, I will never look elsewhere even once, just focus on it and try to accomplish. Altogether, I will do my best not to fail and with no regrets, so for the work I'm willing to give up on my own things. Although my personality is like it will be difficult to balance between love and work, the woman who cares for me who has sense and intelligence is my ideal type. Moreover, if it's the person I love, then only when she lets go will I let go. When dating, no matter what my partner thinks of me, for me she is always my first priority. However, I will never hold on to someone who is gone or regret anything".

@hyunbinsfiancee

#HyunBin "A good actor? Of course good acting is also an important factor, but I think I should be 'a good person' first. On the set, I met many people and then parted… I gradually realized how much an actor's actions or words affect the people around him. The efforts and sweat of many people will nonetheless be shown and evaluated through the actors. So I always strive to be a good person."

Thanks to Gigi for tweeting this video. One of the girls was born in 2005, the year MNIKSS aired but watch her reaction! It's great to see that HB has young fans and they swoon just like us older folks. This is a fun watch 😂😍

 

@hellooohallyu

Relevancy means having a grip on teens who stan junior actors while still being able to steal their hearts and command attention. He's not a fixture on variety shows and doesn't bother with SNS but his staying power and hold on the industry lends credence to his KOFIC feature.

These sisters were having a great moment fawning over #HyunBin #현빈 and I couldn't get enough!! I especially loved their reaction during the MNIKSS clip that was used. 😚❤

Tom Ford Beauty has released the latest promotional images, videos, and making footage of actor Hyun Bin, who was appointed as Asia Pacific's first Tom Ford Fragrance Attaché.

With the scent of the first promotion "Soleil Brulon" as a fragrance attaché, the video released on July 29 is about to exceed 700,000 views as early as possible.

The second fragrance that follows is the world-famous long-selling "Oud Wood Eau de Parfum Spray" from the Tom Ford Private Blend Collection. The exotic warmth and rich sensuality of rare oud wood and amber are expressed in a chic and gentlemanly appearance in a monochrome world view. This work contrasts with the first visual, which is reminiscent of the dazzling sun, which attractively embodies the invitation to a free-spirited summer.

Hyun Bin will continue to appear in various promotions as the face of Tom Ford Beauty's fragrance.
