10: How would you judge your own looks?
Hyun: Im not too sure about anything else, but I have a face that easily changes with a different hairstyle or makeup. That I like. And Im grateful when I hear people say Im handsome or a pretty boy but I really dont care for such words that much. There are many guys around me who are much more handsome than I am. (laugh)
10: You must get a lot of offers which try to take advantage of your star power as Hyun Bin, but you seem to avoid taking those offers in particular.
Hyun: I do get such offers but I think they just werent my type of work. I dont mean to say they were good or bad, I just wasnt attracted to them. I cant abandon my so-called star power completely, but I dont want to be led by it either.
10: In that regard, Friend, Our Legend (Friend) is something you said you chose to do even though you knew people would talk about it unfavorably.
Hyun: Thats right. People told me negative things about it even before I started working on it. (laugh) I hadnt even set my foot in the water and heard a lot of things. People told me it would be better if I didnt do it. The film left such a strong impression and the acting by my senior actors had been so good that I was told I would have a tough time even if I pulled off the character Dong-soo. A lot of people were against me taking on the drama, but I just went ahead with it and did it.
10: But as the movie enters the second half, you did establish a different character than the one played by Jang Dong-gun in the film. What sort of character did you want to express Dong-soo as?
Hyun: I created a more sensitive Dong-soo since the drama version had a lot of melodrama elements, especially with Jin-sook, added into it. The tone of the drama was more mellow because even with all the fighting scenes, I would either be showing tears before or after the fight or my relationship with Jin-sook would be revealed which would soften the atmosphere. I think the biggest difference was the melodramatic side to Dong-soo.
10: When you look back it now, what did you gain from doing Friend?
Hyun: I think the most significant thing was that I was able to work with people like director Kwak Kyung-taek and his staff on the story that I had dreamed about doing since 2001, even before my debut. The whole process, from the reading sessions, shooting and monitoring afterwards, creating facial expressions and building on the character, and the people I worked with.. I gained a lot from the experience.
10: You mustve not been sure of what you would gain from the experience when you first started. Are you the type that goes ahead with a plan and think later?
Hyun: I usually am. If I like something, I just go ahead with it. If I decide that I want to try doing this project, I dont really pay attention to other circumstances. Whatever the consequence, that comes later so I just make a choice and do it.
10: But since you are acting in an entertainment business, having luck is as important as putting in your own efforts. Sometimes, things dont turn out the way you had anticipated and lead you onto a completely different direction. Do you have any fears about choosing which role youll take on next?
Hyun: No. If I go way off track, then I can just walk back. Whatever role I take on, I dont know what will happen. And once I take on a role and start shooting, there are always bound to be people who are keeping an eye on the overall situation. So if everything continues to move along and they give me the green light, Im guessing it means that Im doing alright. Hence when say that I am not responsible for the ratings or the number of viewers, which I always say, is really is because the outcome isnt dependent on me. My part is to do my best in front of the camera til the end, before the results come out.
10: You said that you werent trying to make some sort of calculated transformation in the film I Am Happy. It really does seem you werent under the pressure to transform yourself but rather just taking on different roles every time.
Hyun: People tell me that my acting has gotten much better since doing I Am Happy. I think its because I had a lot of time to think by myself with this movie. Its not easy to get rid of everything that was embedded in your body from your previous role but luckily, I think that I have been meeting the directors, one after another, who have helped me do that. Directors Yoon Jong-chan, Pyo Min-soo, Kwak Kyung-taek, Kim Tae-yong they all want something new. They dont want to see the acting pattern of Hyun Bin that everyone is so familiar with. So I have no choice but to get rid of them. But its not like I can wash everything away completely so I just push them back for a moment. Someday, as I get older and keep acting, I think I will be able to use them all very well.
10: You are preparing to shoot the film Manchu with director Kim Tae-yong. That movie was first made in the 1960s. The original film was a melodrama about a fugitive and a well-behaved female inmate. What do you find attractive about the new role?
Hyun: The scenario was entertaining, and I thought that if this story was written in the 1960s it must have been a very sophisticated film. This is actually the fourth remake of Manchu but I have intentionally stayed away from watching the previous movies. Im going to prepare for the movie on my own before going into shoot and watch everything at the very last minute.
10: Your co-star is actress Tang Wei of Lust, Caution, so you must get a lot of questions about that. But what truly worries you the most at this point, ahead of going into shoot?
Hyun: Language, of course. Its a global project so everything is conducted in English, 100 percent. Ive experienced language barriers when I did Friend so its even more overwhelming. The Busan dialect I used in Busan is Korean but it still lessened my emotions in my acting because I was worried about the language. So Im worried about how much emotion Ill be able to deliver in English, which isnt my native language. I did a reading with Tang Wei before I came to Korea and had a talk with her, but I think its important to overcome the language barrier not just with my acting partner but with the entire crew as well because most of them are foreigners too.
Im going to try to get rid of the language barrier by practicing with an English tutor before filming starts. And from what Ive discussed with the director, my character is someone who came to the U.S. three years ago so he doesnt need to speak like a native and so Im going to focus on delivering the emotions first. That makes me feel a little easier about the part.
10: You said that you want to be remembered by the names of your characters than as Hyun Bin. But when your play the characters, what people remember is the sense of trust that comes with the name Hyun Bin. Isnt that ironic?
Hyun: I used to hate that, to be honest. When people called me Kook and not Hyun Bin after Ireland ended, I hated that. I thought that I should be called by my real name Hyun Bin back then and it was such a stupid thought. (laugh)
But after My Name Is Kim Sam Soon ended, people kept calling me Sam-shik instead of my own name. After a while, I gradually realized how wonderful and lucky it was to be called that. So from a certain point on, I felt much happier when people called me by the names of my characters and not by my own. Thats all I need.
