Binnie At The Airport & BIFF

Photos galore! Hyun Bin leaves to Berlin for its 61st international film festival on the 15th with Come Rain, Come Shine co-star Im Soo-jung.

This is kinda irrelevant, but was reported as a news anyway: Believe it or not, this whole outfit costs approx. 10 million won. How they found the brand of each and every item he wore is beyond me; check it out (USD conversion in approximates):

Giorgio Brato vintage leather jacket - 1.71 million won (1 500 USD)

Alexander McQueen's printed tee - 350 thousand won (300 USD)

Julien David scarf - 790 thousand won (700 USD)

D&G aviator sunglasses - approx. 300 thousand won (250 USD)

Dsquared2 faded jeans - 690 thousand won (600 USD)

Giorgio Armani black high-top boots - 1 million won (890 USD)

L'inoui bagpack - 700 thousand won (600 USD)

All of these, plus his watch from his private collection has a combined total of 10 million won (approx 9 000 USD). Which must mean that his watch is approx 5 million won (4 600 USD). *reels*

Makes me think this suit has gotta be cheaper; the couple in Berlin:

Don't ask me, I have no idea what he's pointing at:

Binnie The Barista? The Perfect Advertising Hero~

As promised, here's my cute Binnie post ("cute" refers to Binnie, not my post). It only took one look to convince me to translate this article, and it's none other than the photo below:

Isn't it...bwahaha! He looks so feminine. It's amazing how a different hairstyle changes one from chadonam (brash urban male) to kkotminam (pretty flower boy). He's so purty~

And no it's not his latest CF, as some of you might have already guessed from his wispy 'do, these are stills from one of his latest film, Come Rain, Come Shine.

Totally different from the Hyun Bin in Secret Garden that wouldn't even consider making coffee, in CR, CS he's seen gently brewing filter coffee, a scene depicting that his woman has left home. 


In preparation for this scene, our Binnie would rehearse by using the coffee maker and sometimes got too focus on acting he forgot all about the coffee, thus overspilling it...


However after his tireless efforts, he finally gets recognition by coffee lover director Lee Yoon-ki. Due to most of the scenes that required having Binnie in the kitchen, he was even dubbed "the kitchen steward".


Oh but please don't call him that, 'cause Binnie doesn't like it. He insists to be called a barista, but like all nicknames, they die hard. He grumbles, "Why do I always have to stay in the kitchen?!" Binnie's co-star Im Soo-jung comforted him, saying: "A man that knows how to make such good coffee, I shan't break up with him, ever!"


I second. To all men: If you can't cook, (good) coffee will do.

Gardeners (and perhaps the non-Gardeners), I'm sure you know WHO I mean by 'they'.
Hyun Bin Gets Invited To Two Film Festivals

The two Film Festivals are Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF). Whenever this TIFF and PIFF is, it better not be soon 'cause I want Binnie to have some SLEEP and gain some body fat. How can fans peacefully see him off when he looks like he already did the national service?

Before its release, Late Autumn was invited to TIFF and PIFF, where it set a record for the speediest sellout for a screening. It has received glowing reviews from the media and audiences who have seen it and its release on February 17th is highly anticipated.

Hyun Bin's previous project before Secret Garden was a kmovie Come Rain, Come Shine (literal title: Love Me, Love Me Not) with Im Soo-Jung and is set for release on February 24th.

Not only that, the film is the only kmovie finalist for the Berlin International Film Festival (BIFF). Wowee, so he gets TIFF, PIFF and BIFF! Awesome. The 61st Berlin International Film Festival will take place on 10th of next month and is nominated for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress. 


Come Rain, Come Shine is about a couple facing a marital crisis after 5 years of marriage; the wife (Im Soo-Jung) leaves home for another man and Hyun Bin plays the role of her husband and guardian. 


Come Rain, Come Shine is directed by Lee Yoon-Ki (who's previous works include This Charming Girl, Ad Lib Night and Breakfast At Tiffany's). The film is funded by the Film Commission of Gyeonggi and is G-cinema first project.
