about hyun bin


Not to be mistaken for the gorgeous and very popular star of Taegukgi and Autumn Story (원빈), Hyun Bin or Kim Tae Pyung in real life gained prominence this year for starring oppposite Kim Sun Ah in this year’s famous drama “My name is Kim Sam Soon”. He was Sam Soon’s hot-tempered boss (owner of the French restaurant “Bon Apetit”). Unfortunately for him, he had to work with Daniel Henney whose charm and good looks had made him a national hearththrob. Imagine that he had to compete for audiences’ attention with the Korean-American.

I had never seen Hyun Bin in a drama or any other TV show. Maybe I’d seen him in “Nonstop 4″ but I didn’t really notice. In the Bridget Jones-inspired drama, he was an “abused” son (better watch the show to know what I mean!) who almost always was in an argument with the show’s heroine. I would like to tell more about his role in the drama but I don’t want to spoil the fun for those who haven’t seen it.

Anyway, here are some facts about him:

  • screen name - Hyun Bin (real: Kim Tae Pyung)
  • born on September 25, 1982
  • Type B (blood type)
  • stands 184 cm and weighs 74 kg
  • attended Jung Ang University
  • debuted in the drama “Bodyguard”
  • starred in “Nonstop 4″ and “Ireland”
