Hyun Bin debuted in 2003 through the drama 'Bodyguard.' He played a supporting role as a stalker, but it was his first step on the path of an actor. Since then, he made the name Hyun Bin known to everyone through the sitcom 'NonStop 4.' He appeared as a righteous and serious college student, and received a lot of interest from the viewers.
Hyun Bin started working on big screen productions as well. His first movie was 'Spin Kick,' which had Shinhwa's Kim Dong-wan as the main character. This movie portrayed a bully, who gives a shot at the national Taekwando competition, but it didn't do so well in theaters. But, an opportunity came by for him to play a leading role. It was the role as a bodyguard named 'Kang-guk' in the drama 'Island' starring Lee Na-young and Kim Min-jung. He soared to the top, thanks to the attractive role and his excellent acting skills. He received the rookie actor award that year, and started his journey on becoming Korea's top actor.
We think that opportunities do come to hard-working people. A ticket to the top was presented to Hyun Bin through the drama 'My Lovely Samsoon'. He became the ideal guy for all ladies by playing 'Hyun Jin-hun', a restaurant owner in this drama. This production became the national drama, and came to an end with high viewers' ratings. He received the best actor award that year, and joined the league of top-notch celebrities.
Since then, Hyun Bin played a son of a plutocratic family in the movie 'A Millionaire's First Love.' He acted with Lee Yeon-hee and the two showed the ups and downs of first love. In his next production, he underwent a total character transformation. He shed off his aristocratic image which he showed in the drama 'Snow Queen,' and transformed into the tough and rough boxer 'Han Tae-woong'. In the drama 'Worlds Within,' in which he worked on with actress Song Hye-kyo, he acted as 'Jung Ji-oh' , a producer. This drama realistically portrayed a broadcasting station, and through this production, the two actors became a real couple.
For his next production, Hyun Bin chose the drama 'Friend, Our Story,' which is a remake of the movie 'Friend.' However, this drama did not meet the viewers' expectations, and did not receive high viewers ratings. He acted as a megalomaniac patient admitted in a mental hospital in the movie 'I Am Happy.' In this movie, he worked with actress Lee Bo-young, who portrayed a nurse, with whom, Hyun Bin fell in love with. Unfortunately, this movie did not receive a lot of love, due to its gloomy development.
He got to meet another miraculous production in 2010! It was 2010's hit drama 'Secret Garden,' which caused the 'Joo-won heart-ache.' This mind-shattering production dealt with the theme where the souls of the leading male and female characters were switched. Due to the fame of this drama, it even caued the 'Secret Garden Syndrome.' On top of it all, Hyun Bin (현빈) was in the spotlight for singing the drama's soundtrack 'The Other Man.' This drama earned him the best actor awards at the acting awards ceremony in that same year.
In addition to the fame of 'Secret Garden,' his movie 'Come Rain, Come Shine' also received a lot of love. Hyun Bin (현빈) attended his first ever Berlin Film Festival, thanks to this movie. He worked with world-famous actress Tang Wei in the movie 'Late Autumn.' The casting of two top-notch actors made everyone show high expectations for this movie. Thanks to this sky-rocketing fame, Hyun Bin (현빈) became the jackpot of the commercial industry. He worked on a jam-packed schedule as a model for various products. He captivated all the ladies with his confident look and soft smile.
He left the entertainment industry right at the peak of his fame and enlisted in the Marine Corps. Some 2,000 Korean and foreign fans gathered to see Hyun Bin (현빈) off, and over 200 press-related personnel, proving his popularity. Hyun Bin (현빈) showed his manly qualities to his fans, and started off his military service. He will spend the next 21 months in the Marine Corps, and will be discharged on December 6th, 2012. We hope he stays healthy, and look forward to seeing this true actor greet us soon on either the big or small screen.
