Actor Hyun Bin is on the rise in America, too
Top Korean TV actor Hyun Bin, 29, the hero of SBS drama Secret Garden, which ended on Jan. 16, is also successful in grabbing girls hearts in America.
He was the center of attention for his handsome face and polite manner when filming Manchu (The Late Autumn) with Chinese actress Tang Wei, 31, in Seattle, Wash. Even though the production staff are all foreigners excluding the director, art director, cinematographer, makeup director, all the women at the scene loved him, according to news reports of local media.
He was recognized for his charm last September at the Toronto Film Festival and awed all the women spectators. The staff were startled from the massive reaction they got from audience who watched the film.
Meanwhile, this is a remake of the original work in the same name produced by director Lee Man-hee in 1966, a story about a women who was sent to prison after killing her husband relating the incident to a man she happened to meet on a bus during a 72-hour parole.
The Late Autumn was sold out in five seconds after reservation sales at the 15th Pusan International Film Festival. It has also been invited to participate in the forum division of the 61st Berlin International Film Festival slated for Feb. 11-20 and the official competition division of the Fribourg International Film Festival slated for March 19-26 in Switzerland.
