Hyun Bin: “I didn’t consider my popularity in Japan at all when deciding to act in ‘Harbin'” [Interview ①]

Actor Hyun Bin stated that he was not concerned about Japanese public opinion regarding his role in “Harbin.” On the morning of the 19th, an interview with Hyun Bin, who appeared in the movie “Harbin,” was held at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul. On this day, Hyun Bin was asked if he was worried about his popularity in Japan while portraying Ahn Jung-geun, and he responded, “The concerns were more around me than with me.

This movie itself is a painful memory for us, and yet a record we must not forget,” he said. He continued, “As an actor from our country, I am rather grateful and honored to talk about someone who has shaped our country’s foundation.” When asked if this aspect burdened him when he initially declined the role, he firmly stated, “There was not even 1% of that burden.

It was due to the presence of General Ahn Jung-geun, which I declined,” adding, “My wife (Son Ye-jin) didn’t have anything special to say either.” Then Hyun Bin shared, “In fact, there was a time when a Japanese production company offered me a similar role.

An anecdote added was that a Japanese production had previously asked him to play the role in an Ahn Jung-geun movie. Meanwhile, “Harbin” is a thrilling portrayal of those heading to Harbin in 1909 for one purpose and the suspense and suspicion among them.
