# Hyun Bin: From Action Star to "Ordinary Dad" – Heartwarming Insights on Fatherhood and *Harbin* Imagine trading the spotlight of intense espionage thrillers for diaper changes and playtime – that's the new reality for **Hyun Bin**, the beloved star of *Crash Landing on You*, who just opened up about embracing fatherhood. In a candid interview ahead of his latest film *Harbin*'s release, Hyun Bin shared how becoming a dad to his son with wife **Son Ye-jin** has reshaped his world. The actor, who portrays Korean independence fighter Ahn Jung-geun in the gripping period drama set in 1909, revealed that his child's birth came right after the project's blessing ceremony in 2022, making the film deeply personal.[1][2] "Getting married and having a child has changed so much," he reflected, noting that his wife and son are now his top priorities.[2] What stands out is Hyun Bin's profound respect for Ahn Jung-geun, amplified through his lens as a father. After watching the completed film, he marveled at the historical figure's sacrifices: "He had a family – his wife and children – and yet he devoted himself to the independence movement. It made me wonder if I could ever make such a sacrifice."[1] This introspection hit harder post-filming in challenging locations like Mongolia, Latvia, and Korea, where the role's emotional weight was immense.[1] On fatherhood itself, Hyun Bin keeps it refreshingly real. "I'm just an **ordinary dad**. There's nothing particularly special about me. I'm like any other parent, any other father. I'm still figuring out what kind of father I want to be," he admitted humbly.[1] He even plans to share his films – starting with Son Ye-jin's works like *Crash Landing on You*, followed by his own like *The Negotiation* – with his son when he's older, hoping to inspire pride in their shared legacy.[1]
