Actor Hyun Bin is set to appear on the variety show ‘You Quiz on the Block’ ahead of the release of his starring film ‘Harbin’. This marks his first appearance on a variety show since marrying Son Ye-jin and the birth of their son, and his first personal talk show appearance in 13 years.
According to OSEN’s report on the 29th, Hyun Bin recently accepted an invitation to guest on the popular tvN variety show ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (hereafter referred to as ‘You Quiz’). A broadcast insider mentioned that Hyun Bin will participate in the recording during the first week of December, where he will meet hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho.
Known for mostly communicating through his work, Hyun Bin is rarely seen on variety shows. He briefly appeared with fellow actors from ‘Confidential Assignment 2’ on the web variety show ‘Game Caterers’ two years ago and made a surprise appearance on MBC’s ‘The Manager’ with Daniel Henney. However, his participation in talk shows where he shares his personal stories is rare.
His upcoming appearance on ‘You Quiz’ will be his first talk show since tvN’s ‘Taxi’ in 2011. At that time, he gained attention for appearing on his first talk show after creating a buzz with the SBS drama ‘Secret Garden’, which surpassed a 30% viewership rating.
Fans are particularly keen to hear about his changed life as a husband and father after marrying fellow top star Son Ye-jin in 2022 and having a healthy son. Additionally, there is anticipation for stories about his steady career as an actor and anecdotes from his forthcoming film ‘Harbin’, where he plays An Jung-geun, the lieutenant general of the Korean Independence Army who assassinated Ito Hirobumi.
Previously, his wife Son Ye-jin garnered attention when she appeared on ‘You Quiz’ following their marriage announcement, and now Hyun Bin will also be making his appearance.
The ‘You Quiz’ episode featuring Hyun Bin will air in December, and ‘Harbin’, in which he has a lead role, is set to be released on December 25th, meeting audiences on Christmas Day.
