Recently, Hyun Bin was named the winner of the Best Actor in a Series category at the 24th Directors' Cut Awards, with the movie "Made in Korea".
Directors' Cut Awards is a prestigious award in Korea, organized by the Korean Directors' Association. The special feature of this award ceremony is that the judging panel mainly includes film and television directors, so it is considered a highly professional award in the industry.
Previously, Hyun Bin surpassed strong opponents including Ryu Seung Ryong, Park Jin Young, Lee Jun Ho and Ji Sung to win the Best Actor in a Drama award, at the 62nd Baeksang Awards ceremony, held on May 8.
Through this, it can be seen that Hyun Bin's role in the movie "Made in Korea" is recognized and highly appreciated by experts.
Set in Korea in the turbulent but rapidly developing 1970s, "Made in Korea" tells the story of Baek Gi Tae (played by Hyun Bin) - a person who pursues money and power at all costs, and prosecutor Jang Geon Young (Jung Woo Sung) - who fiercely pursues Gi Tae amidst major upheavals that change the times.
According to Korean media, Hyun Bin's role as Baek Gi Tae - a director of the Central Intelligence Agency of South Korea driven by ambition - has shown an image that has never appeared before in his acting career.
With a meticulous and balanced performance between explosive ferocity and unstable emotional state, Hyun Bin has convincingly portrayed a multi-layered character, who cannot be simply divided into good or evil.
Since the movie was released, Baek Gi Tae has become the central character and the most discussed. Hyun Bin's restrained eyes and strong screen appeal are praised for increasing the tension and improving the overall quality of the work.
Previously, Son Ye Jin's husband also won the Best Actor award at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards for the movie "Harbin".
After consecutive wins at the Baeksang Arts Awards and Directors' Cut Awards thanks to "Made in Korea", Hyun Bin once again affirmed his outstanding position in both film and television.
While praise for the film and Hyun Bin's acting transformation continues to increase, expectations for "Made in Korea 2" - expected to be released in the second half of this year - are also growing.
Audiences are eagerly waiting to see how Hyun Bin will continue to develop the character Baek Gi Tae in the next season.
