Hyun Bin (Korean: 현빈) is a South Korean actor who is known for his role as cocky restaurant owner Hyeon Jin Hun in the MBC drama My Name is Kim Sam Soon.
His big break came with the drama named ‘My Name is Kim Sam Soon” with the actress Kim Seon Ah.
Hyun Bin played a rich but arrogant restaurant owner with a personal tragedy who hires the pastry chef Kim Sam Soon (Kim Seon Ah) and fall in love with her. The drama was the most-watched drama in Korea, reaching 50% at its peak.
Hyun Bin was not very successful with his movies. A Millionaire’s First Love, re-enacting his role as a rich heir received poor remarks from the critics, as Hyun Bin did not attempt to take upon a more challenging role. He has not since had any success in other dramas.
On March 11, Hyun Bin was a featured guest on the radio show Gong Hyung-jin’s Cine Town, in which he spoke honestly about his career and current projects. In the program, he called his earnest good-guy image “stifling” and explained, “I’d like to live it up and have fun, and enjoy things that other people my age enjoy on a daily basis.”
