Hyun Bin Sheds Tears as Fans Gather to Welcome Him Back From the Military

Binnie is back (not to be confused with Baby’s got back)! Clearly his fans number in the crazy digits and are super supportive because the group formed before dawn outside the marine base headquarters where marine service member Kim Tae Pyung was about to be released back to their collective fangirl hearts. When Hyun Bin was officially discharged, with a commendation from his division for his exemplary service, he start to cry and cry as he gave his thank you speech for the honor of being a marine and learning so much from the process. Seriously, Binne, where’d you come from? He is just too sweet for words, with his overflowing sincerity and none of the airs of a mega star itching to get back to being a star after nearly two years of living like every other male young man in South Korea needs to do when they enlist for their mandatory armed service. Hyun Bin expressed his desire to get back to acting and promised to give it his all. I heard from the grapevine that he might be starring in a drama as his first project, though until the news is announced its all speculation. The projects I’ve heard are The Incarnation of Money by the writers of Giant and History of the Salaryman or Golden Empire by the writer of The Chaser. Both would be fantastic choices, and would skew more towards the drama style of my favorite Binnie drama of all time Friends, Our Legend. Epic, I tell you! I hope he stays away from brain dead rom-coms like the Secret Garden variety, though I’m sure he’s fielding calls for tons of those since he left right after SG and most folks still remember his freshest as Kim Joo Won, asshole loverboy extraordinaire. His acting talents is truly impossible to deny – watching him cry his way through his speech today and comparing it to Joo Won, I think I just finally found one good reason I wasted 20 hours of my life on that craptastic drama. Welcome back, Binnie! I missed you so so much. *muah*
