Shin Hyun-bin “Plans for this year? Work hard and play hard” [interview]

Actor Shin Hyun-bin visited the premiere one day. Many people complimented him and said, “Your face has improved.” The only people who captured Shin Hyun-bin’s fatigue were directors Jung Woo-sung and Kim Yun-jin, who worked with him on ‘Tell me you love me’. This gives us an idea of ​​their close relationship.

Shin Hyun-bin recently appeared in the Genie TV original ‘Tell me I love you’ at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Related interviews were conducted. ‘Tell me you love me’ is a classic melodrama about the silent love between Cha Jin-woo (Jung Woo-sung), a painter who speaks with his hands, and actress Jeong Mo-eun (Shin Hyun-bin), who listens with her heart. The story of a man and a woman who complete their love using their eyes as language and facial expressions as confessions moved viewers.

When he received the script proposal, he had the thought, “I want to tell a story related to communication.” Shin Hyun-bin said, “That’s why she seemed to be even more interested in “Tell me I love you.”At the same time, doesn’t she often say, “Do you know what I’m talking about?”It is to check whether there is communication beyond the meaning itself. Just because we speak the same language doesn’t mean we can communicate well. On the other hand, there are people who can understand even if you speak roughly. “It was a time when I had a lot of thoughts about this,” he said.

Shin Hyun-bin had expectations that ‘Tell Me I Love You’ could be a new type of work. “There are characters over 30 and 40 years old. The situation is not stable. (Through her work) & # 39; She is finding her own place, but will she be able to start that relationship just because she has a human crush? “It made her think, ‘If something makes her anxious or something comes up, will she be able to talk about it right away?’”she said. Shin Hyun-bin, who appeared in ‘Tell me I love you’, had people around her say, “It would be nice to do a project like that.””Good job.”He told me things like this.

After watching the broadcast, he felt the unique tempo. As for Shin Hyun-bin, the review that it is a & # 39; strange drama & # 39; is especially memorable for her. He said, “I don’t think there was much to talk about, but it’s over.”‘Did it air for 10 minutes’ It was time for it to end. I was also amazed when I saw it. The story wasn’t very passionate or had any major events. But at some point, time passed that much,” he said. It was thanks to the attractive tempo of ‘Tell me you love me’.

Actor Shin Hyun-bin also had to play an actor in the play. While studying her character, a concern occurred to him. “(Jeong Mo-eun) She wasn’t a popular actress, so I didn’t know whether she should act well or not. She talked a lot with the director. She was worried that if she couldn’t act, her preparations (for a career as an actress) would seem vain. Shin Hyun-bin explained, “I thought that even if she did well, she could look strange.”In the end, he summarized it with the setting that “the acting was good in its own way, but not to the director’s taste” and portrayed Jeong Mo-eun.

Shin Hyun-bin expressed deep trust in Jung Woo-sung, his romantic partner. Shin Hyun-bin said, “If it wasn’t for my senior, I wouldn’t have easily chosen (to appear). When she made the choice, she had the thought, “When an actor named Jung Woo-sung joins me, she will be able to take that strength and do it,”she said. Jung Woo-sung even recognized the fatigue on Shin Hyun-bin’s face. “At the premiere, everyone told me that her face had improved. But actually, I was tired. He said that only two people, director Kim Yun-jin and senior Jung Woo-sung, asked, “Are you having a hard time?” “Looking at senior Jung Woo-sung, I thought, ‘He is a person who really loves the field.’ Even though I am a person who likes and loves the field. I told the director, “When I look at senior Jung Woo-sung, I think, ‘Wasn’t my love real?’”

Kim Jun-han appeared as a cameo. Shin Hyun-bin said, “I talked to (Kim Jun-han) on the phone and he said he was resting. “She is also close to senior Jung Woo-sung,” she said. Choi Hee-seo also added her charm to & # 39; Tell Me I Love You & # 39; with a special appearance. Shin Hyun-bin said, “Heeseo, you have a chance to beat me legally. Why don’t you come and see?’ When I asked him, he replied, ‘Is there such an opportunity?’ “We were able to do even the difficult scenes because we were comfortable with each other,” she explained. She confessed that she was able to rely on the help of actors she was close with.

Filming in Jeju Island was not easy. Shin Hyun-bin said, “I’ve been to Jeju Island a lot, but I knew while filming that it was so windy. When I went to Jeju Island, I would go into a cafe or a car if the wind blew. (Jung Woo-sung) My senior also said that all he could think about was the wind. “She also said that it felt like her soul was being blown away by the wind,” she said. Still, she said, “Seeing the finished screen,”said the hard work was worth it. “She wanted to,” he said.

‘Tell me you love me’ remained a special work for Shin Hyun-bin. He said, “It was new in many ways. Not only the acting, but also the reactions, ‘Can everyone do this?’ I wanted to. “She tried to convey it well and I think it was a meaningful time,” she said. Having completed her work well, she is expected to fill 2024 with passion and happiness. “This year, I want to work happily and play hard. Other than working hard and having fun. I didn’t play hard last year. Haha.”

Meanwhile, ‘Tell me you love me’ The final episode was released on the 16th.
