Binnie's Japanese Magazine interview for Snow Queen.




A special interview with HB
May 14th, HB has just returned to Korea, we had an exclusive interview with him in Seoul.
HB is very polite and enthusiastic when he's answering the question and talking about SQ.
We also talked about his personal life.

'I want to be an actor that is trusted by the audience'

'How are you?' He's just late but his face was filled with guilt and embarrassment when he appeared
at the venue for the interivew. My first impression of HB was:
he seems like DG leaping out of the TV screen.
His long bangs were covering up his eyes, the rare glimpses of his eyes peeking out was filled of charm
and his unique aura.
Also, his pretty face in combination with the growing beard, stirred up a wild and sexy magnetism.
At the first glance, he seemed distant and hard to approach, but on the contrary,
when he's talking about his past, he'll flash his genuine smile without a care,
and talked about it with excitement. This left a deep impression on me.

On the day of the photo shot, he loved the lilies of the valley that the editor
brought to the shot, he asked with an innocent child-like look, ' Can I take it back?'
It doesnt take any explanation to be charmed and under his natural spell when he's
this genuine and without pretentiousness.

[spoiler]Q: In the drama, 'mom's noodles is a very memorable element, what is sth that is

memorable to you in the drama?



Please tell us about how you worked on their differences when acting as TW and DG.



TW and DG of coz are one person, but in order to present their differences,

I focused on each of their personalities and portray from there.

TW is very pure and innocent, he likes math and is very naive.

He's a high schooler that can be found anywhere.

I think DG must have gone through a lot of hardships in that 8 years what went

by like a blank to him.

So, I have thought over it a lot, I've designated DG as a person who has been

through a lot of challenges and persevered through a lot of hardships,

he's more manly than TW, and even a more stately and grounded image.

DG is not the same from his days of innocence, he's been hurt from the inside,

he's tasted pain and suffereing. This is what I've noticed in their differences.



How were you when you're in high school?



I'm a very normal, regular high schooler. (smiles) I like to hang out with my friends,

playing soccer, basketball. I started actin in dramas in high school. That is very meaningful.

But I don't have much interest in my studies. (grins)



Are you good in math like TW?



I love earth sciences and geography that kind of subjects. My math is not good,

I don't like it that much. But since it's a required subject in college entrance exam,

I feverishly worked hard on it before the exam and I got some result.

I got high marks and got only 2 wrong in the exam. (grins)





I've heard the boxing scenes were very draining.



How do you spend your off days?



I'll go to the gym or practice with my baseball team. I lost wt for this drama,

so after the last shot, I didnt do any exercise for a while and didnt bother with my physique.

and eat a lot of food. I gained some wt. I'm planning to get back to exercising and get back my body.



What are things you like or what's your interest lately?



I've fallen for nintendo Wii. Of coz it's the boxing game (laughs)

Maybe I'm still not good at it, so I was really spent playing it with lots of movements.

I'll sweat up a storm. If I was playing with friends fr my management agency,

we'll be all sweating after a game, and we'll have to start taking off our clothes.

At the end, we'll just be wearing our boxers. (grins) But it's great fun.



What do you want to do the most now?



TW's dream is to be a white collar worker with a steady monthly income, what's your dream or goals?



My dreams, to a certain extent or definition, have already come true. Coz starting in high school,

I dreamt to be an actor. I should say, I'm working towards my dreams and goals in life step by step

and it's fulfilling itself in my own eyes. I have another goal now, it's to be a trustworthy actor to everyone.

I wished that no matter what roles I've picked up, you will think that it's something worth watching...

that kind of actor.



What do you think destined you to be an actor?



Acted in dramas in high school drama club formed a large part of this idea of me destined to be an actor.

My dream before that is to be a policeman. My family has always put a big emphasis on education, so

in the beginning I didn't get my parents' understanding and approval. After I had a good, serious talk with them.

they let me pursue a degree in acting in college as a compromise. I agreed too. From then on,

they have given me their full support.



Do you have people/actors you look up to?



In the past and at this moment, the people I look up to are my parents. There are a lot of seniors I respect or

I look upon as my role model. Like my hyungs in the baseball team...KSY, GY (I'm not sure about the names...)

....etcetc a lot of them. They are always by my side, I'm living in a very nurturing environment.



Is there a shot that you are most satisfied with in the drama?



I'm most satisfied with the shot when I was symbolically drinking with JK in front of his grave.

That is a shot that is very memorable to me. Then it's the drinking scene with SH. That is a difficult scene.

But that's also a scene that let me perform what I've always wanted to. Why are the scenes all associated

with drinking?! (grins)

The kissing scenes with Bora are also very unforgettable. Of coz there were many NGs, but if we nailed it

in one take isnt that very odd? (smiles)

In general, all the saddest scenes were all very memorable, in the last episode, the scene when Bora dies,

it's a very important scene for me too.



We were very impressed with that scene when you put back the disarrayed chess pieces.

How did you tackle that scene?



Since I have never played go before, so I divided up the blacks and whites and memorized it that way.

In order to not forget it, I started swiftly putting back the pieces as soon as the camera is rolling. (grins)

If I hesitated for a moment, I need to memorize it again, so I asked Mr. PD to shoot that earlier.

Because I have to act like a genuis, I watched 2 hollywood films with genuises as subjects.



You've mentioned before in your previous interviews, ' This is a very challenging drama.

This drama to you is like tackling a very complicated assignment.' Did you succeed in this challenge?

Are there any regrets?



Maybe I'm too egoistic, but I think I've succeeded. Of course I go through a lot of retrospection in all my projects.

Everytime I saw a broadcast, I will always feel that my acting is very embarrassing and there are a lot of

mistakes. More than half of the time, I'll be in sighs watching through the episode. But now, this kinda of

retrospection and regrets are getting less little by little. This is the hardest part and the most fascinating

part being an actor. But, no matter how much less it's going to get, every performance still warrant it's own

retrospection. (grins)



Did you change after this drama?



I've mentioned this before, this is a big challenge for me. From this point of view, I have got some results

and thus some self-confidence. I have showcased a difference side of me. I've said just now, I have done

some self-inspection, but I didnt have regrets. I have a feeling that I have made myself a foundation for

more changes and improvements to come. I have always been waiting for a role like DG.

If TW is a rich boy, I may not have taken up the role. (grins)



Please let us know more about the shooting in New Zealand, can you?



The weather is brutally cold, I will never wish to go through the shooting twice.

Also, in order to not worn out the dogs in the shoots, the crew always put the puppies first in priority.

My treatment was 'even less than dogs' literally. (laughs)

Oh, I also had an experience of being less than a dog. When I was still a newbie,

I was shooting with a dog flew in from another country on a CF. The dog is the grandson of

the dog that is in 'Mask' and his pay is higher than me as a newbie at that time. (grins)

Of course, how we're treated on the set is totally different too. (smiles)



Heard that once you've immersed yourself in a role, you can't easily step out of it in your daily life too.

Have you ridden yourself fr DG?



Other than the beard, I've seperated myself from DG. I never can get used to growing a beard before,

now, when I'm not working, I feel weird without the beard. so I've been keeping it. (smiles)

The role of DG has taught me a lot. Of coz, thro DG, I'm introduced to boxing for the first time.

Also I have learnt to control my emotions better.

When I'm shooting a serious or crying scene, I will immerse myself early on in the morning. That's

because I don't want to cry fake tears.



What do you think of a girl like Bora?



Totally disgusting. (grins) I think no matter how open-minded a guy is, she's very hard to accept.

But if there's a girl like her in my life, she'll be someone I want to observe. I want to see her

transformation. The Bora in the latter half, I think I can fall for. But if I have to make a choice at

the moment we met, it's a definite NO! But if it's anytime after that, if it's when her true-self has

undergone a transformation, I think I can accept it.



What is the type of girl you like?



It's better if she can understand my line of work.. (Bin is answering this question for the godzillions

time now...so...I'll just trans the part that's new)I like Nicole Kidman that type of lady. If we're talking about marriage, Kim? (dunno who..) or KDS,

my mom in SQ will be ideal. Teacher Koo is a veteran actress, she's really like my real mom,

I've learnt many precious lessons fr her.



Who do you resemble more in real life? samshik or DG?



Both have parts of my personalities. I haven't been in a lot of roles, all the characters I've portrayed

have bits of me in them. I can get angry quite easily like DG, I'm more like samshik concerning

relationships with the ladies. I've never been the strongly emotional/passionate type.

I've always been referred to by ppl around me as the 'young old man'.



What do you like to wear in real life? (again we've heard this tonnes of times)

.....casual....I like white, black and simple designs. My fav color is blue.



What went thro your mind when you were greeted by soo many fans when u arrived in Japan?



I was very shocked seeing all the fans for the very first time. There were more than 100 reporters

at the press con before the screening. It was not a big crowd and I was worryin will the

venue be empty? When I was at the stage, I saw that the hall was completely full, I was very moved.

That day was the Korean's parents day, I brought my parents with me for celebration, and they saw

the accolades of fans and were very happy for me....that became the best present for them.

I am truly grateful for my japanese fans for that.



Can you talk a bit about Ireland and MNIKSS?



I learnt how to cry in Ireland. I've mentioned a bit on this before, PD Kim is a very strict PD,

he required us to never shed a fake tear. MNIKSS promotes me to my next level. My partner,

Miss KSA taught me not to go by the script and memorized all the lines, coz there maybe

various changes that we need to go with the flow at the set and we have to be open for that.

So I deliberately didnt memorize the script and I thought that that's the right way to go.



Lastly, can you say something to your Japanese fans?



SQ is a very different drama from my previous works. If it'll be appreciated by more, and that

may lead to more appearances to meet up with you in Japan, nothing can be better than that.

Konichiwa!

It's my first visit here. I didn't quite like his role in My Lovely Kim Sam Soon but I know he is one hell of a good actor cos' he executes and delivers his part well. Still need to finish the last 2 chapters of MLKSS. Still wondering why he turns down the offer to be the lead in Foxy Lady, another MBC production where the plotline here may overlap his earlier work in MLKSS. A similiarity sort of. Guess he wants to shed off that image of being an older lady's close buddy, hope you know what I mean. In fact I am glad he decided to act in Snow Queen with a role that is definitely opposite his in MLKSS. HB has given himself a chance to enlarge and stretch his acting style and talent.

HB has matured in his look after my first encounter with him in MLKSS. He needs that unkempt, vagabond-look to assume and play out his role well in Snow Queen; I really enjoy the mysterious and slow moves of HB in SQ. I see HB on the other side of his acting. I thot it is really great. Versatility belongs to him, and could this be the reason why he choose to turn down the offer in Foxy Lady? To try another new role that demands a change in his acting skill and talents!

Regarding the interview about the unchanged and untransformed Bora who was a disgust to HB in Snow Queen, I really think that it was really those moments of being with the unrepentant Bora that I really feel for him cos' he was every word a gentleman towards her!!! The intense feelings of love and hatred were undeniably there, and those moments made SQ a tolerable and excellent watch!!!!

Somehow I just know that it will do well with Japanese audience cos' I'm familiar with their tastes of dramas and movies. If he gets a good welcome there, I won't be surprised!

To all those fans of HB, catch him act in SQ.

Bye!

yeah, im reign new comer, but i already join the sunbin thread,

love all those pix,,,, HE IS VERY HOT! NO DOUBT!

im just very amazed with hyun bin oppa, no matter whats his position he is very gorgeous one,
sarngheyo oppa!!!!!!

fox lady? was that another series after mnikss? coz after mnikss,Bin chose to change his management that's why we couldn't see him in MBC anymore. anywayz,according to Bin,his character in SQ is a big challenged for him. but to quote what he said: "mnikss promotes me to my next level." it meant that he learned a lot from that drama. he was so young but he managed to appear and act SamShik so well whom happens to be a 27 year old guy in that drama. that's bcoz he learned some tricks to make him look one. he was pressured at first but managed to gain what people has expected from him, that he can really act so he was thankful that he got SamShik in mnikss.

Shuai (handsome) is a powerful approachability

HB arrived at the event right off the flight without any rest. He walked into the COSMO interview room at once. Although he's a bit tired, but once he saw the roomful of crew waiting for him, he glowed up his polite smile. The interview was only a short 40 min, but we can observe a HB off camera-- polite, shy, direct, genuine and serious. He'll nod gratefully to everybody at both ends of the room when he walked in and out of it. His eyes were always smiling with warmth, anticipating every question by anyone. He'll deliberately turn his head towards the reporter when he's listening to the question. He'll think seriously and thoroughly before answering every single question asked, yet agree without hesitating any request for autographs and photos. Actually, the real HB is much more approachable than 'samshik'.


[spoiler]HB : Half prince, half drifter



--This name and this face is highly recognizable, because even if you've only watched one Korean drama from start till end, that drama will most probably be -- MNIKSS.

--'How they've become a couple is not as simple as a fairytale, they've been through a lot. The reason why the audience were laughing and crying while watching it, was they saw a lot of details in their daily lives portrayed in this drama. That's why I said, JH and Samsoon, these 2 can really be together, don't you think so?'



No cliches, no doomed lovers, no sickness, fatal car accidents (but HJ has some cancer, and JH WAS in some accident...) or mistaken identity, this is a story that you will laugh and cry and watch it in one go. We kept Samshik in our hearts, and also HB...this single eyelidded (double), dimpled, sometimes cool, other times mischievious, no matter what outrageous color of shirts, he's still stylish... kinda boy.



So, everybody will habitually brand him as the image in his rise-to-fame phenom as a 'rich prince' -- handsome, cool, ambitious and with a drive to succeed. And in the love department, he must be through some pain and jaded, needs an ordinary, but independent, confident cinderella in the modern cityscape to comfort and soothe this 'filthy rich prince'.



In his new work 'SQ' HB's muscled manly boxer completely discarded his past image, we can't even tell a hint of that cute, naughty boy in Cyon Chocolate CFs. He's grew out his facial hair, his body has become rugged and strapping, his muscles have become more and more prominent and defined. Even his long lidded eyes transformed from stubborn naivete to complicated weariness.



When HB approaches, the chaotic room shut up to a eerie silence. He's taller than we thought (even more imposing than his bodyguards), under the inviting and observing eyes of everyone, his shyness and unease betrayed his seemingly stately strides, which grew wider with the pressure of the flashes. In the end, he was almost in a sprint, entering the VIP room for the interview, locking the eyes following him outside.





The real incarnation of a blueblooded gentleman



HB in real life is 'samshik' in flesh and blood --- a blueblooded gentleman with esteemed, graceful manners and superiority, yet humble and low-key, all combined into one.

A single kid (he has a brother) from a middle class family in Korea, graduated from the best drama school in the country (I'm not sure...), he got the role of MNIKSS almost as soon as he started in this business ( this is not true, MNIKSS was his second full length drama role let alone NNS4...), the drama elevated the actor, and the actor popularized the drama. It stirred up a redhot storm in half of Asia in no time, so swift that he had no time to ponder on how redhot he is. When bombarded with the frenzy of the media and diehard fans in China, he showed his humble and naive side as a blueblooded gentleman, ignorant to this unknown, vast China market---he had no idea how popular he is in China?!

I can't help but asked about MNIKSS, this is the drama that gave HB his recognition, and also one of his fav. The lines coming out of this prince's mouth, when we're listening to them, there's a realism to it that made us forget those were simply lines in the script. Hearing 'samshik' saying 'samsoon' in my face, seems like time has turned back to the drama.



Cosmo: That drama is too popular, you have many fans in China, almost everybody who had watched the drama loves you, men, women, grannies and children alike.



HB: Frankly, I know that my career is developing in a steady pace in Asia lately, but I would never have expected I'm this popular in China (grins). I am still grateful to MNIKSS, the character in it was too lovable, so I have stolen some glory from the main character. Personally, I like this character that I've portrayed very much too. Afterall I was still a newcomer, I was able to get the recognition so early in my career, I felt very fortunate.



Cosmo: Do you know, coz of MNIKSS, there's a term called 'No woman' invented in China. [Cosmo had also researched on why a lot of ladies with less than appealing appearance can attain great popularity among friends and acquintances and to top it all, have a fulfilling love life.] Do you feel that what happened in the drama can happen in the real world? A handsome rich guy like JH, will really fall for an older 'no woman' with nothing to boast about in reality?



HB: 'No woman'? This is an interesting terminology! This is the first time I've heard of it. A lady like samsoon, though she may not have the advantage in beauty or physique, she has many qualities that can't be found in many girls. For example, tenacity, perseverance, her values and believes, her optimism.... In the TV drama, the scriptwriter and the PD didn't just portray the possibility of Samsoon and JH falling for each other, they emphasized on the details on the process on how they fall for each other in totality. You can witness, how they got together is not as simple as a fairytale, they have been through a lot. Why you'll laugh and cry along, I believe it's coz a lot of people saw glimpses of their daily lives. So, JH and samsoon can really be a real couple, don't you think?



Cosmo: A lot of Korean women nowadays ar not only successful in their career, they also have their own opinions in life. This is very different from the traditional female role in society, what are your thoughts on that?



HB: When I was little, I thought that woman should stay at home and take care of the family, just like my mom's generation. But as I grow older, I've observed that a lot of ladies around me not only excelled in their careers, they can also handle their family lives magnificantly. I have always admired women like them, especially in the entertainment business, the gender roles are differently defined compared to other walks of life. In our business, we are partners in cooperation. In general, if I met a girl who has her own dreams and career, and she works hard to set them in motion, I'll have a good impression on her, I'll respect and admire her, and even fall for her.

Bin proves to be a smart guy too! that's what i'm trying to say. MNIKSS,SamSoon,and his character as SamShik will always have a very special place in his heart.

i agree with you,red-ssi! part two article of Cosmo,july (chinese edition).





[spoiler]The idealistic ideology of a drifter wannabe:



A libra man, always transforming yet stubborn and steadfast. HB is a libra and he may not be a drifter, but, the bowler hat of a gentleman has been on for too long, it's time to ease up with a hint of rebel. However, according to HB's 'exclusive fashion rules', in the 7 days of the week, there must be a day that he'll be in a dabonair suit. This is not typical a drifter's behavior.

He likes tall and cheerful girls, in order to protect the reputation of a female friend, he's announced an official statement of 'seeing each other', we can tell that this boy with those dreary, weary poignant eyes, with hair growing out in an unruly mane is only a drifter/player in training. Who will know, what is the next transformation of this young guy just in the business?



Cosmo: If you have a choice in girlfriend, who will you pick...the beautiful, distant Bora in SQ or the 'no woman' samsoon in MNIKSS?

HB: I think, I will still choose Samsoon!

Honestly, I'm not into looks and I don't particular pay attention to differences in family backgrounds and such. I just look at personality. Samsoon has her own goals and ideals, she has a great personality, easy to get along. I think this is most important for both parties in a relationship. Looks of a lady, actually can be changed with how you carry yourself in life and your charm. Don't you agree that samsoon is very alluring and attractive in many ways often times? A lady like Bora, she is very dazzling, but there are a lot of extremes in her personality, anyways she's not the type I like. Although I played a drifter in the drama, but in real life, I've nothing in common with him other than liking a manly and physically demanding sport such as boxing!



Cosmo: Was being an actor your dream job ever since you're little?

HB: No, my dream job has always been changing, scientist, painter.... In elementary school, I even crazily esteemed to be a garbage truck driver (laughs). I thought compared to the people putting the trash in the back of the truck, the driver sittin high up in the driver's seat looked very respectable, so I thought it's a very respected job. I became interested in drama after I was introduced to the drama club in highschool. To be an artist, to be in the entertainment business was the path I chose by myself though. My family was against it then, but since it's my passion, I told them I'll try acting out with the condition of being accepted by college to major in drama. I got in, and I've been acting since graduation.



Although it's been quite smooth sailing so far in my career, there was a period where I was not well-known and I don't have any job offers. I have thought of doing something else then, but I felt that we should stay determined in life, I think I'll be an actor for life. I have a chance to be in the shoes of many different lives of different people. In a short time of a drama or movie, I can experience an extraordinary journey in life. I think, this is a feeling that I still very much love.



Cosmo: You look like a boring guy, do you like to be alone?

HB: I don't have a lot of downtime besides working, so I'm always busy. When I have some free time, I'll go to the gym and exercise, keeping myself physically, mentally sharp. When I have time to relax, I still like to be with my friends and family. I don't like being alone, spending time by myself.





'Up till this very moment, I am still looking forward to a chance encounter, like what happened in the movies all the time, when I can meet a girl on the street and fall for her, love at first sight...then I can go up to her and say, 'I like you, lets go out!'



The growing pains of a gorgeous man...



The lines in the LG CF, if it's done by other male stars, LG's advertising partner will have a hard time using that line without appearing too pompous. When HB, facing the mirror, unpretentiously fretting 'O shuai (handsome), shuai...is a sin', his acceptance as the ultimate image of 'shuai', expressed flawlessly the humor and the stylishness of the CF. I believed there's another reason behind the production of the CF in choosing HB saying that line-- Korean showbiz is swarmed with a plastic standard of artificial beauty, a guy like HB who has always been handsome since he's a kid, is a very hard find. I stared at him close-up, he really has a flawless body and a breathtakingly handsome face. We only had 40 min for the interview and the photo shoot, we asked him to make a change of outfit, and to our amazement he's ready in 5 min. The white suit is switched to a black one, his sunny boyish grins had transformed into elegant and reserved smiles.



Cosmo: Your roles have always been modern, metropolitan, stylish bachelors. Are you like that in real life?

HB: I like to try out different styles. But I have always kept a routine, that is to wear a suit for at least a day of the week. It doesn't matter if it's a casual suit or a dressy ensemble. I don't know if others feel the same way, but I feel that clothes can have an effect on how your condition is. If I put on a nicely tailored suit, how I feel or what I projected out will be totally different. I felt the substantiality of being a man....that is a feeling unique for a guy.



Cosmo: What do you think is your most handsome feature?

HB: Actually I don't have any feature that is handsome.... but for the sake of giving a reply, I think my side profile is better looking. I love sports, I also pay a lot of attention to my body, I'm not saying I want to train up muscles, or be very imposing, but I want to convey an image that I like sports and I'm very health conscious.



Cosmo: Being handsome is not your fault, but being this handsome, are you more passive or aggressive in love?

HB: You can say that I'm very practical or even very shy. When I like a girl, I usually will not tell her right away, I will try to closely observe her, see if she's suitable for me, then I'll think of the next step to get to know her better. I'll tell you a secret, up till the very moment, I am still looking forward to a chance encounter, like what happened in the movies all the time,

when I can meet a girl on the street and fall for her, love at first sight...then I can go up to her and say, 'I like you, lets go out!' But it's all in my fantasy, I have no luck yet.

foxy lady, they said that, that was good, and foxy lady and MNIKSS had the same writer, i think the writer was the one whose very close to sunbin during MNIKSS, so that series is lyk MNIKSS, bcoz of the role of the characters. but MNIKSS is very much good than that! (for me!)
