He's flexible and relaxed. And it went deeper than anything else. It's not just a youth star that will stop with 'Korean Wave Star'. The noble growth of actor, husband, and father Hyun Bin (42), who returned with a noble heart with his feet on the ground without shaking, conveys warm comfort in a dizzy world.

Hyun Bin, who played Ahn Jung-geun, a chief of staff of the Korean Medical Corps, in the action film `Harbin' (directed by Woo Min-ho and produced by Hive MediaCorp). He met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 19th and confessed his passion for the work from the moment he appeared in Harbin.

'Harbin' is a 1909 work that depicts a breathtaking pursuit and doubt between those heading to Harbin and those who pursue it for one purpose. With Ahn Jung-geun at the center, a symbol of the Korean independence movement, 'Harbin' captured the coldest and most precarious moment in the history of the Republic of Korea in 1909, and the process that had to go through until the Harbin Rebellion and Rebellion took place on October 26 of that year. In addition to the huge psychological drama about the character Ahn Jung-geun, it dealt with the conflicts over sincerity, belief, anguish, and doubt among comrades who shared his will with him heavily and seriously.




In particular, the dramatic transformation of Hyun Bin, who made a comeback on the screen a year after the movie 「Harbin」 (directed by Lim Soon-rye), released in 2023, is drawing attention. Hyun Bin, who played the role of Ahn Jung-geun, who had to risk his life while living in the era when his country was taken away, showed his presence by playing various actions toward Harbin as well as delicate emotional acting that showed Ahn's loneliness and determination at the same time.

On this day, Hyun Bin repeatedly declined to appear because of the symbolism of this work. However, director Woo Min-ho kept suggesting me to appear, and whenever he suggested casting to me, he persuaded me by changing the scenario little by little. Whenever I keep suggesting casting, I've never given the same scenario. Director Woo's style continues to change on the spot. He is a director who always thinks about whether there is anything good. If you find one detail and keep building it up, you can change the big one, so you keep working on it. I thought it was too hard work, but I think I kept watching the scenario without realizing it. I tried to see the work while looking at Ahn Jung-geun's data at the same time with the scenario. As a result, I naturally had a curious point. Director Woo's passion, energy, and signals for me were combined, so I finally chose this work. It may be a burden to play General Ahn Jung-geun, but I also thought it was an opportunity."

Hyun Bin, who cited 'Harbin' as the most mentally demanding work of his filmography, said "It was the most difficult work I've ever done. Even after the shoot was over, many people around me said, "It must have been hard."They said '. Honestly, it wasn't that hard physically. Maybe because my mind was more tired, I forgot a little about the part where my body was struggling. The process of visiting General Ahn Jung-geun was not easy, as well as the pressure and weight of him. It was a very lonely and difficult process."




Then "The first part I focused on was this person who was an independence fighter, but was there any fear as a human being ahead of his death?It was '. It seems that he started acting as Ahn Jung-geun in this part whether he had never made a single choice or regret when a rift broke out with his comrades or whether he felt sorry. I think I thought about how to express this part. In the movie, there is a scene where Ahn Jung-geun is squatting in a dark place. When I entered the set space, I thought I could show Ahn Jung-geun's feelings, so I came up with the idea. To be honest, the burden on General Ahn Jung-geun could not be relieved until the end. It is still the same now."

He continued to think about what he would have thought until he made up his mind while filming "I learned from the remaining historical records about General Ahn Jung-geun. Director Woo also wanted to capture the image of General Ahn Jung-geun in 'Harbin'. It was a task that I had to think about, imagine, and make. Even now, I don't think I've found the heart of General Ahn Jung-geun well. I tried my best to get closer to his thoughts even a little bit, but I still wonder how he can think and act like that at that age. Dare I seem to be a category of personality that I can't think of. In the past, when Choi Min-sik filmed 'Roaring Currents'(14, directed by Kim Han-min), 'I wanted to come out in my dream and give a hint', but I also felt that way while filming 'Harbin'. But it never came out in my dream."

Hyun Bin is a representative 'Korean Wave star'. In particular, it received explosive love when the work was released in Japan through the Netflix platform during the popular tvN drama 『Crash Landing』 in 2019. Of course, for Hyun Bin, who has many Japanese fans, 'Harbin' could be a big burden. However, Hyun Bin "On the contrary, people around me were more concerned than I was. Isn't this movie our painful history? It's a record that you can't forget. Isn't it the country that made me a Korean actor. I was so grateful to be able to act like this. So I didn't have a single worry about being a "Korean Wave star"In fact, in the past, I was offered to appear in the role of Ahn Jung-geun, saying that he was making a movie about Ahn Jung-geun in Japan."

It was not easy 'Harbin' and Hyun Bin, who was Ahn Jung-geun, picked his wife Son Ye-jin as a helper who made him forget the heavy burden and encouraged him. Earlier, rumors of Hyun Bin's romantic relationship with Son Ye-jin, who had a relationship with the movie 「Negotiation」 (directed by Lee Jong-seok), which was released in 2018, were revealed. After reuniting once again with 'Crash Landing on You', the two officially admitted their romance in January 2021, after the drama ended. Fans in Korea and around the world gave their support and support to the romance that became a reality, and in March 2022, about a year and two months after the open romantic relationship, they became the "Couple of the Century" with their marriage. And in November of that year, he got a healthy son and continued a happy marriage.

As for his wife Son Ye-jin, who gave birth to a son just before filming "Harbin", Hyun Bin said, "I was very lonely while filming "Harbin", but my wife must have been lonely at that time (a situation where I had to take care of my child alone after giving birth). I think he knew that it was not easy due to the nature of the work because he was the same actor. After the filming was over, my wife said 'Well done'Well done', which gave me a lot of strength. You must have had a hard time after giving birth, but I was very thankful that you expressed it like that" expressed affection.

Until now, Hyun Bin has been an actor who is very careful about his private life story. Hyun Bin was extremely burdened with the point where privacy was mentioned even when he was publicly dating Son Ye-jin, marriage, and even childbirth, but he has changed recently. Hyun Bin "I think everything has changed since I got married with a child. People must change. Of course, I'm still cautious about talking about my personal life. Still, if there is anything I can tell in me, if I can express it, I have changed my mind to do as much as I can in the right way. As I get older and have a family and a child, I have another experience. I think that's why I can see that I'm changing"I really want to show this movie to my son. Later, when the child grows older, he tries to show 'Negotiation' and 'Crash Landing of Love'. I think I should show my mom's work"I shuddered.

He said "A son was born before he prepared for this work and went into filming. I really wanted to tell my son later when he was old enough to recognize this movie. 'Dad was playing and making important characters in our country when you were born. I wanted to make this movie well even for this child. Wasn't it the same for General Ahn Jung-geun. I wonder if I can abandon my family and do it like General Ahn Jung-geun for the country.I'm not as good as General Ahn Jung-geun, but I think whatever point comes, it should be a better future for my child and for the world. I think we should play that role."

As his father Hyun Bin, he also shared his difficulties. What kind of father do you want to be?The question ' is really difficult for me. Now I'm a normal dad. There's nothing else. It's the same as any parent. I don't know what kind of father I want to be yet. Sometimes at some point, I tried to be strict thinking about my father. Then, I want to be a father like a friend. He is still in the right direction. I think I have to think and think constantly. Since I'm a novice dad, I think I should go there (learning one by one)"I laughed.

The release of 'Harbin' which makes people think a lot amid chaotic situation from President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law to impeachment was also released with Hyun Bin's conviction. Hyun Bin "It became unintentional. "Unexpectedly, the movie was released when the situation was dizzy, and I think it became a movie that viewers can interpret in various ways."

He said, `The narration of General Ahn Jung-geun in the movie delivered many messages, and it was actually made based on the records of General Ito Hirobumi or Ahn Jung-geun when director Woo Min-ho wrote the narration lines. It was a fact-based narration. I hope that the narration gives hope and courage to the audienceThe goal of this film is to show the journey and path of independence fighters rather than 'A cool shot'Cool result'. Rather than becoming independent through Harbin's uprising, I think it is a movie that I want to say that this should be the foundation. I don't know how the audience will see it from that point, but I hope you see it as a message that this is not the end but that we need to keep moving forward"He expressed his true feelings.

Hyun Bin, Park Jung-min, Cho Woo-jin, Jeon Yeo-bin, Park Hoon, Yoo Jae-myung, and Lee Dong-wook were in charge of the mega-phone. It will be released on the 24th.
