Hyun Bin Makes His First Alcohol-Related Appearance After 21 Years in 'Jjanhan Hyung'

Actor Hyun Bin is set to make a splash on television by drinking alcohol for the first time in his 21-year career. This highly anticipated appearance is part of the promotional activities for his upcoming film, 'Harbin'. On December 5, it was revealed that Hyun Bin will join host Shin Dong-yup on the web entertainment show 'Jjanhan Hyung', alongside his co-stars Park Jung-min, Jeon Yeo-been, and Park Hoon.

The cast's appearance on 'Jjanhan Hyung' is aimed at promoting 'Harbin', directed by Woo Min-ho and produced by CJ ENM and Hive Media Corp.

Hyun Bin's return to the big screen comes nearly two years after his last film, 'Negotiation', and holds special significance as it is his first project since marrying actress Son Ye-jin and welcoming their son. In 'Harbin', he portrays Ahn Jung-geun, a general who seeks to eliminate Ito Hirobumi.

Since his debut in 2003 with the KBS2 drama 'Bodyguard', Hyun Bin has starred in numerous hit dramas and films, including 'My Name is Kim Sam-soon', 'Secret Garden', 'Crash Landing on You', and movies like 'The Negotiation' and 'Confidential Assignment'.
