Hyun Bin has shared a touching message of gratitude toward his wife, Son Ye Jin, as he reflected on his role in the upcoming film Harbin and his life as a father.
In an interview on December 19th at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Hyun Bin discussed his role in the highly anticipated movie Harbin, set for release on December 24th.
The film, directed by Woo Min Ho, tells the story of Ahn Jung Geun, a revered figure in Korean history, and his comrades as they journey to Harbin in 1909.
Hyun Bin plays Ahn Jung Geun, a character full of both determination and loneliness, and performs high-difficulty action scenes.
During the interview, Hyun Bin opened up about his personal life and the support he received from his wife, Son Ye Jin, throughout the filming process. The couple, who married in March 2022, welcomed their first child in November 2022.
Hyun Bin expressed his gratitude for Son Ye Jin’s understanding of the challenges he faced while filming, saying, “The nature of the film made it difficult. My wife, being an actress herself, understood this very well. After filming, she said, ‘You did a great job, you worked hard,’ and those words meant a lot to me.”
He continued, “While I was busy with filming, my wife must have felt lonely. She must have also struggled with parenting, so I’m thankful that she expressed her feelings.”
As a father of a two-year-old, Hyun Bin shared a deeper sense of responsibility. He said, “Before starting this project and just before filming began, I had a child. Later, when my son is old enough to watch videos and understand things, I want to tell him, ‘When you were born, your dad was playing the role of a great figure in our country.’” He added, “Personally, that was my intention. I wanted to make Harbin well, especially for this child.”
Hyun Bin concluded with a heartfelt wish for his son's future, saying, “I want to leave a good world for him. Whatever point it may be, the future should be better, and I feel the responsibility as a father to contribute to that.”
Hyun Bin's words reflect his deep love and commitment to both his family and his work, as he aims to create a lasting legacy for his son.
