Hyun Bin returns from military service
by girlfriday
Binnie’s back! I’ll give you a moment to properly savor it. Are we done squealing now? How ’bout now? Should I just take a coffee break and come back?
Upon his discharge from the marines on December 6, Hyun Bin (Secret Garden) greeted the press and fans with salutes and tears, announcing his happy return to civilian life, and more importantly, acting. I guess when it rains pretty-boys-back-from-army, it pours pretty-boys-back-from-army.
Though really, Hyun Bin has remained consistently in the news since entering basic training in March 2011, which has the (clearly intended) effect of feeling like he hasn’t been gone that long at all. It’s saying something that there’s just as much interest in his return as there was in his leaving — just look at that crazy wall of cameras, good grief.
Kind of amazing actually, what having a hit drama just before army duty can do if you’re managed well. There’s no news yet of a comeback project, so now’s the time to start your bets, wish lists, and prayer rituals.
Hyun Bin: The-Marines-Make-Army-Abs-Look-Like-Butter Watch begins… now.

I think Binnie had the best handled enlistment ever. It does not feel like 2 years have gone by, it feels just like yesterday. He went away at the height of his career, singed up for one of the hardest enlistments (winning the love and admiration of his country), did not have any scandals or issues during his time (unlike Rain and other celebrities who get called out for excessive vacation time), and his agency somehow kept his name out there, so it didn't feel like he was gone for long, and now he returns with great fanfare. Truly well handled.

I agree Ms. Simone! Maybe this makes me a bad fangirl but I feel like his army time went by SO fast! (Actually, I'll admit -- I haven't been monitoring Kdramas that much in the past year or so and when I saw the pic I thought -- "Oh no, Hyun Bin is starting his army duty?")

Agree.
I realized when I was reading news of his release the other day, and I'm thinking, damn, it's been 21 months already? And he's still riding into the popularity he had before entering the army, which is VERY GOOD SIGN.
Well done there, Hyun Bin Oppa (or should I say, your company).
Anyway, I remember one line DB/GF said before, the army takes, but the army gives them back to us, complete with army abs. He is an active soldier, so we can expect to see some results under those army clothes, right? Anyway, will be waiting for your comeback! :D

I agree, he's had the best enlistment to date. He did not get the silent treatment (he got the opposite), i saw headlines of HB the whole time and it was really smart of him to go to the Marines- now he will get not only a clean and bad ass reputation as a civilian but he'll also be a real actor with credibility. Of course the thing that helped him THE MOST is Secret Garden. What a perfectly timed hit drama, his manager couldn't have done better and that's probably why he rejected a big compagny like SM to remain with his current manager who's started a new firm. The man is a good actor AND he is smart. I hope for his sake that he continues to be smart and lucky and chooses good projects next because it would be a shame to go from SG to a flop.

December 6, 2012 at 6:58 PM
I believe he started using a stage name instead of using his real name because his real name (Kim Tae Pyung/Pyeong) was more of a old-sounding, rural name kind of a bit throw-off if you plan on becoming a BIG STAR as he is right now, so he went with a modern, sophisticated name as Hyun Bin.

December 7, 2012 at 7:59 AM
Hmm. I didn't know that was the reason for changing his name. It's rather ironic, considering that MNIKSS has a major storyline about the desire to overcome an old-fashioned, clunky name. This is like a wink to those in the know - so thanks for the information!

Hurray!!! I was really moved by the tears. He seemed so thankful to be finished and for the love he was getting already. I would love to see him in a drama with Yoon Eun Hye (where she does not have to cry the time--Yes, I talking about Missing You!) or paired up again with Jeong Ryeo Won (where she isn't crying either). I am looking for quirky rom-com with strong female lead, but I have a feeling that he will only be doing movies. Sigh.

I used to think this as well because I conly knew her from MNIKSS. But really as OMG says, you should see her in History of a Salary Man and currently in King of Dramas. I lover her in both of these, and it was a hard sell, believe me, after her character in MNIKSS. I thought of putting them together because then that would hopefully erase that bad memory with w new, good image.

Agreed! It's really a great achievement for her. Same with Song Ji Hyo, both were really annoying second lead in widely popular dramas back then and now they're female lead material.. and loveable at that too. I'm actually really happy for them.

ooh, me too. I disliked her so much because I had only seen her in MNIKSS. I decided to watch King of Dramas recently even though I was really annoyed that she was the female lead. I watched 10 eps in 3 days and I'm now a big fan. She's so adorable and a good actress! I might even go watch History of a Salaryman just for her.

I've wanted Hyun Bin and Yoon Eun Hye in a drama together for a long time!!! Instead she is stuck now in a flop drama with playing opposite a Kpop Idol :sight: She really would have been good with Hyun Bin, i mean not only they are AMAZING actors but the kissing scenes would have been WOW!!! since both really go for it in kiss scenes. Maybe someday it will happen. I also want Hyun Bin and Shi Min Ah and that one could happen since they are in the same Agency now. I'm so excited to see Hyun Bin in new projects Yay!

Actually, for a drama that advertised the body-swapping storyline a the main premise, the characters actually spent a much shorter amount of time body-swapping than I thought it would. So you should give it a try.

December 6, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Wow, Mystisith, I'm with you. wtf? Clearly there are some high standards for acting ability lol if Hyun Bin can't act!
He's just a joy to watch. I don't like some of his projects, doesn't mean I do not think he is a fine actor. He knocked it out of the ball park in Secret Garden, and wow, Late Autumn anyone?
I'm trying to figure out why people that do not care for an actor come on to a thread specifically about the actor and comment that they do not like him. Trolling or pot stirring, idk. I mean, ok if you are checking out a drama recap and are scratching your head about the drama or just feel to the need to share your personal taste in that context, I can see that. I totally don't get the appeal of some actors myself, but I'm not going to go on their 'welcome back to civilian life thread' and comment bomb either. Mostly I'm going to be thinking, "uh, that's the guy I don't care for. Glad he's finished service." Then I move the hell onto read about something I do have interest in.
All that said, and I'm too old to do this but...
"Hell's YEAH, Welcome back, Dimples!"

There's a difference between the actor and the character though. I mean, a person can't judge an actor based on the roles they played. And I'm not saying this as a Hyun Bin fan either...I barely know him and only watched one drama of his.
To the other comments above, I'd say from my limited experience in viewing Hyun Bin, he seems okay. So I guess I'm not a fan either. For now. :-)

December 6, 2012 at 9:47 AM
But unfortunately, I've seen a looot of people think an actor is bad just because they hate the character. They say the actor doesn't act well, and when you ask specifically what is wrong with the actor, they only spout out bad things about the character they're playing (he/she whines and complains a lot, she needs to stop clinging onto the guy, etc.). It also goes the other way, if the character says funny lines or does bad-ass things (and a bonus point good-looking), some people will say he/she is a great actor no matter how mediocre the performance actually is.

I've only seen him in two things, MNIKSS and Secret Garden. I actually liked Hyun Bin in MNIKSS, but didn't like his character in Secret Garden so didn't finish the show. So while I think he's good, I wouldn't rush out to watch a show he's on. So I guess I'm not really a "fan" either.

Welcome back!
I think it's funny I know exactly when his discharge date is more than other much major cultural events going on in the world.
K-dramaland just got more interesting in anticipation of his future dramas (and movies). :)

What I look forward to more than post-army abs (don't get me wrong, I look forward to those, too) is the development in acting that happens to those boys. The baby fat goes away from their face, but they also have a sharper, keener sense of suffering, and that comes out on screen. Except with HB, how can you get any better? Millionair's First Love and Secret Garden both had me balling, I don't know if my heart can take MORE pain

"I’ll give you a moment to properly savor it. Are we done squealing now? How ’bout now? Should I just take a coffee break and come back?" - SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Been doing this since yesterday! Can't wait for his projects and of course the obligatory post- army/marine abs! ;) hopefully the marine service experience brought more depth and perspective to his acting, and any fan of him knows how capable he is so this is truly an exciting time for his career.

I was a mess when he cried...oh, especially when he tried to hold back the tears.
So brave and gentle of him to shed tears. I am proud to be a Binnie fan!

4.35 TONS of rice were donated in Binnie's honour on his return to civilian life. That's pretty impressive, and should remind us that not every fangirl/guy over there is a crazy-ass netizen out for blood. :P
Welcome back, sir. Waiting for your next-project decision with crossed fingers!!!

I did the same thing; what wall of -- OMG. It's a veritable Maginot line, the Great Wall of Nikon.
I don't see how any stray fan could have possibly gotten a glimpse of him - maybe they were allowed to view on close-circuit television from a safe distance, LOL
