SEOUL September 1 (Yonhap) -- “I don’t think I will be acting out north Korean personal for a while.” South Korean actor Hyun Bin chuckled throughout his interview.
There is an interesting saying within the film industry. “If Hyun Bin mimics North Korean personal throughout the movie, that movie will be successful.” South Korean block buster film “Confidential Assignment” from 2016 where Hyunbin acted out the north Korean detective Im Cheol-ryung exceeded over 7.8 million overall admissions where as drama “Crash Landing on You” where he acted out the north Korean soldier Ri Jeong-hyeok exceeded over 20 percent in viewing rate.
“Since all of those films and dramas are loved by so many people it is only natural for people to come up with something as interesting as that phrase. Although it’s an amazing and thankful thing as an actor, however I don’t want to be bound by a single character.”actor Hyun Bin, who has returned as Im Cheol-ryung through “Confidential Assignment 2: International” stated throughout the video interview.
Im Cheol-ryoung of “Confidential Assignment 2: International” which will premier on September 7 showcases more flexibility. When encountered with South Korean detective Kang Jin-tae acted by Yoo Hae-jin, Im Cheol-ryoung casually states “Let’s eat first.” showcasing more humane characteristic, and throws joke to Jin-tae’s daughter who is madly in love with BTS stating that he was part of Chosun Boy group while he was young.
“If the death of Cheol-ryung’s wife motivated the character throughout the movie “Confidential Assignment” his relationship with Jin-tae and his family, his maturity has changed him to be more relaxed person.“ adding “I think the relaxed version of Cheol-ryung is much closer to who he would be in real life, therefore I tried to put more emphasis on such aspects throughout the movie.” described Hyun Bin throughout his interview.
Also there has been conceptual change in actions throughout the movie. “The previous movie depicts Cheol-ryung as a very sharp figure, hover in the sequel, Jin Seon-kyu’s character Jan Myung-jun’s concept was set as a sharp physique character, the action scene between two character was very interesting in my perspective. If I had to pick something to describe it I would say it has developed into more heavier actions. Also I had that thought of creating something more in detailed. “ actor Hyun Bin shared his thought throughout the interview conducted through a video call.
Moreover, Hyun Bin shared his thought and showed his appreciation in working with reappearing actors and actress in “Confidential Assignment 2: International” by stating “When actors work with one another, we need a definite amount of time where we get to know another and rearrange things based on the preferences of each actors and how they act, however, throughout the sequel, since we knew one another so well, we could skip all the rearranging process and dive straight into the production.” adding “The only thing we had to be careful of was that since everyone is so close with one another we had to be careful not to break out of our character and act like normal us.”
“If the ‘Confidential Assignment 2: International’ gets enough love as it did in the first movie, I am more than glad to participate in creating the third confidential assignment movie. Relationship between Min-young acted by Yoona and Cheol-ryung can deepen throughout the movie, possibilities are limitless.” stated Hyun Bin throughout the interview.
Hyun Bin who married South Korean actress Son Ye-jin in March of 2021 has recently became a father. Related to the question regarding his baby Hyun Bin answered “I am still dumbfounded to be honest.” adding “It is such a blessing so we are waiting for the baby to born with patience and positive mind. Even when the baby is born I want to be the dad who lives his life to the fullest, therefore just like I have been working as an actor, I will act out various rolls and do my best creating films while trying to be a great father.”
