Seoul, Korea — Actor Hyun Bin (Kim Tae Pyung, 29) announced his sad concern prior to his enlistment.

After his photo shoot as the cover model of the weekly movie magazine Cine 21, Kim said through an interview, “I am sad that I have to end acting when I just finally realized the joy of it.”

He continued, “I am excited and at the same time sad because I am in a state of finding what is mine. I have spent my 20s as the actor Hyun Bin, but haven’t lived as the person Hyun Bin,” and said, “I will spend the next two years thoroughly thinking about myself.”

Hyun Bin, who started the “We Love Hyun Bin” fever through the recently finished SBS TV series Secret Garden, said about his fame, “Through the experience of My Name Is Kim Sam Soon, I know that this hot interest in me won’t last long,” and continued, honestly, , “this is a time when the audience’s response time to a production is decreasing and when the viewers are constantly looking for new productions.”

Hyun Bin, with his enlistment to the Marine Corps on March 7th, will meet the audiences with the movie Late Autumn, premiering in February 17th and with the movie Come Rain Come Shine, premiering in February 24th.

Hyun Bin enlisted to the Marine Corps last December, taking physical fitness tests and interviews, and on the 20th, Incheon Gyeonggi Office of Military Manpower Administration publically announced his acceptance.

Hyun Bin said, “It is one of the duties for a Korean man. Truthfully, I am embarrassed that people are taking a huge interest in this,” and continued, “as a man, I will fulfill my duty as a Korean citizen.”
