New Rising Star Hyun Bin---The Attack of a new Hallu Wave!
'If China and Korea collaborate, we can surpass Hollywood'
Q: Did you know beforehand you are very popular in China? Have you any plans for working in China?
HB: I only knew after I'm here that <MNIKSS> was aired here, I'm still developing a career in Korea, my wish is to produce more works loved by Koreans, then I'll think of furthering my career overseas. Actually I don't have to work in China, a lot of Chinese fans can watch my work in Korea, also my other works like CFs can be appreciated by fans here too.
Q: What so you like to do in your downtime?
HB: Go cruising in my car, making models. Since highschool I'm fascinated with detailed stuff, later on, my fans gave me a lot of models as gifts, I've been making and playing with them at home (grins)!
Q: In a lot of Korean variety show, a lot of artists can sing and dance very well, is that inborn? I'm curious why aren't you on those shows more often?
HB: A lot of artists in Korea is very talented in singing and dancing, I'm lacking in that department. I participated in variety shows a few years back when I was a newcomer. Although the audience only see an hour of entertainment, we spent 11, 12 hours taping it, some artists like the experience, but it's not suitable for my character. I can work really hard and learn sth new for a movie, a role, but I won't equip myself to go on variety shows to increase my popularity.
Q: You had lunch with Director Tsui Hark, even shown him some of your karate moves, do you like Chinese Kung Fu movies a lot?
HB: Very much so. At that time, I thought I would have the opportunity to work with Director Tsui very soon after the luncheon. I even prepared way in advance.. I like to get very well prepared and well-trained for my movie roles, while undergoing trainings, it feels like I've made improvements.
Q: Who are your favorite Chinese artists?
HB: Chow Yun Fat, Tong Leung are both excellent actors. As for Kaneshiro Takeshi, even from the viewpoint of a guy, he's very handsome!
Q: What do you wish to elaborate on the cultural exchange between China and Korea?
HB: I think lets start with food! I love to eat, so I wish I can enjoy more Chinese cuisine, haha! I also hope the show business will increase in cultural exchange. I wish there are more joint productions. I think the film industry plays a more active role now. Although its universal that Hollywood is the best, but I think if China and Korea collaborate, we can surpass Hollywood (smiles)!
