Hyun Bin’s recent hit projects, like the action comedy film “Confidential Assignment” (2017) and the TV romantic comedy “Crash Landing On You” (2019), have something in common: Hyun played a North Korean character.
In “Confidential Assignment,” the actor took the role of Chol-ryong, an elite North Korean agent who is sent to Seoul to join an inter-Korean cooperation to capture a criminal. It drew a total of 7.81 million admissions in 2017, becoming the third most-watched film of that year.
His other North Korean soldier role, Jung-hyuk in “Crash Landing On You,” became a global heartthrob as the rom-com gained larger-than-expected popularity at home and abroad through Netflix.
