The title of “Korea’s best looking Marine” clearly belongs to Hyun Bin hands down. This man simply cannot look bad, even sporting a crew cut and in full army fatigue regalia. If I told you all that Binnie is two months away from finishing his military service, I’m sure those of you who remember when he enlisted will surely be looking around wondering where the last two years went. I feel the same way, two years older and not much to show for it. Binnie enlisted at the height of his popularity having just wrapped Secret Garden, which had high ratings though nothing near the stratospheric heights that was his first big hit in My Name is Kim Sam Soon. But in terms of being an iconic character, his performance as Kim Joo Won was definitely one that got people talking. It’s not his fault Kim Eun Sook wrote him like a creepy issue-laden jerkwad, and its a testament to the Binnie appeal that he managed to make me merely dislike him (as opposed to wanting to fillet him and roast him over a spit). Binnie was recently spotted attending a military event and the media was only too happy to snap away. I love that the first thing his fans noticed was the scratch on his cheek, which from the looks of it he could care less about. I know Binnie fangirls are counting the days until he’s released, whereas I’m merely saying nightly prayers that he’ll pick as his first post-MS project something that makes a positive ripple in the cinematic world. I’ve missed you tons, handsome!

oh my gosh! it's hyun bin!!! i can't wait to see him back in dramas and movies again...the 2 years flew by fast! ...and yes! the title of “Korea’s best looking Marine” does belong to him!
Well, it's not exactly 2 years since MS is shorter if you enlist in the marines but I can tell you it was long for me.
Ms Koala, please don't roast my dear Kim Joo-won: He is too skinny anyway, nothing to eat there. :)
And since I decided to bother you tonight, what if his next project after the army was the next Kim Eun-sook drama? Bwahahaha... *Evil laugh* Secret Garden forever!!!
Awwww...my love! I missed him so. And I can't believe its almost 2 years! Wow, where did all the time go? He is looking so much more gorgeous, like a true namja. And that scratch on his cheek only adds to the appeal.
Thank you, Koala. This made my day. ;)
oh YES!! So excited for his return to drama/movie-land! Have been putting off FOL for the past year...shall be watching it sooooon!
That's a serious I'm on duty face. No actor here, just a marine, so move it along.
I pray you are looking forward to greeting your fans after 2 years the way we are praying to greet to back.... Love yuh cant wait to see you in the picture box again..
I just woke up here. Thanks Koala for the gorgeous pics. This is the start of a wonderful, wonderful day.
TWO MONTHS?? Holey smokes, where did the time go??...so he's coming out in december? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Kang Dong Won enlist months before Hyun Bin? (like 3-4 months) and I heard he's only coming out in November? so is ther some difference in their serving time or something?
MS is 21 months for your average Joe but in the marines its 16 months cause it's more taxing/tiring.
Thanks for the explanation,, mystisith. Ive been wondering myself why he can come out earlier than KDW (which Im waiting too).
Yes that really does ecplain a lot..thank you!
KDW's duty is for the civil service which is usually longer than the military duty.
And HB's serving a full 21-month military duty. It's always 21 months for the marines. :D
Wow - so, it's been 14 months, only a little over a year??? Is it possible? It feels like at least 1.5 years. But either way, time really flies!
It's not Hyun Bin it's Corporal Kim Tae-pyung during some Marine recruiting man :-)
