In only two days, Hallyu star Hyun Bin will be discharged from the Korean military after completing 21 months of service. It's hard to believe that it has been almost two years since one of the most popular actors in Korea left the acting scene to fulfill his duty in the military. We're looking forward to seeing him back on the screen in a new drama or movie, but for now, we can look back and enjoy his past roles. Take this fun poll on our Facebook page to vote for your favorite Hyun Bin character!
In Snow Queen (눈의 여왕), Han Tae-Woong is a young math genius who quits school and runs away from home after learning that he may have caused the suicide of his best friend. Saddled with guilt, he changes his name and joins a boxing club. Hyun Bin's portrayal of a rough, street-smart fighter with a troubled past is a far cry from his more famous K-Drama "prince" characters. This drama is available in US & Canada.
World Within (그들이 사는 세상) was the start of Hyun Bin's famed relationship with his A-list co-star, Song Hye Gyo. In this drama, he plays a charismatic TV producer from a poor farmer's family, who teaches the cold, reserved Joo Joon Young how to express her feelings and learn to trust others. This drama is available in US & Canada.
The role that pushed Hyun Bin into the global spotlight was the spoiled hotelier in My Name is Kim Sam-Soon (내 이름은 김삼순). The rude, immature Kim Jin-heon tries his best to push around his newly-hired patissier, but she throws the insults right back in his face, making for one of the funniest romantic comedies in all of K-Drama. This show is available in US, Canada, Middle East and Africa.
Hyun Bin most recently captured fans in body-switching drama, Secret Garden (스크릿 가든). Taking "eccentric" to the extreme, Kim Joo-Won refuses to ride in elevators, talks to imaginary people, and insists on wearing his velour track jackets zipped to the top. And just when you think he's about to fall in love with the tough stuntwoman (played by Ha Ji Won), the two switch bodies in an unbelievable twist. This drama is available worldwide except in select countries.
Each of Hyun Bin's characters is different, and lovable in their own way. What type of role do you want to see him take on for his comeback performance?
