[OFFICIAL] Hyun Bin ❤️ Son Ye Jin (BinJin Couple)

[Minariri13]

Oh my gosh, I just wanted to share because I've gone... I don't really know anymore

So, I don't know if you all know but the Phantom Of The Opera World tour is currently on Seoul. When the show came to my country, I got the chance to meet one of its leading actors, Matt Leisy, who plays Raoul. He posted on his instagram that POTO was featured on Ji Chang-wook's kdrama. Me, the die-hard CLOY fan that I am, replied to his story and I told him to go watch kdramas while he's in Korea (of course I highlighted and suggested for him to go watch CLOY). He just replied to my DM and he said he would go give it a try. Who knows, maybe the whole POTO cast might go watch it #CLOYWorldDomination teehee sorry not sorry just wanted to share lol

@lovelyz EXACTLY! When they were filming NT, I imagine it was "easier" to act bec 1) they were acting through the monitors; 2) there was no skinship, physicality; 3) they probably were still getting to know each other as actors / colleagues and in a sense trying to "impress" each other. Although, as they admitted that they've been each other's biggest fan...for years. 

HB & SYJ, I think is Korea's version of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. (and yes, I've been following their careers in Spain in my younger days, as well)

With a shudder and a tremble, I drew up my BJ Survival Checklist for my own sanity:

@BJHopewill certainly go through that checklist especially in the long days ahead.     @Felizak@tassured me this is nothing compared to what the senior shippers went through on the real drought right after the CLOY wrap.  If I may even go further, what about before CLOY aired?  So yes, for the here and now, we are lucky to have these abundance of receipts to tide us through.

 

I would also like to add to that checklist if I may...

 

*Read all the works of @RiRiGaGa-

 

Can someone be kind enough to post here the pages her works are featured.  I started as a shipper back in May  and I remember enjoying her posts and then she wrote all those  poems.  She also had the math analysis, poem,  the POV of HB,  the medical analysis poem  (who can forget Soompedia?)   I know I am not alone in this request as we all look forward to her works,  @ElectricHeartsyou are pretty good at finding the hardest of info- this should be an easy task. 

 

I am suffering from dry eye from this dark background.  But  I just enjoy this forum so much I have to bear through this

How nice of him to reply to you! And I hope he does watch CLOY and love it as we do.

Phantom is my all time favorite musical. I have watched it countless times and never tire of it. I watched it in London too, despite having seen it practically everywhere, as I felt it is important to see it where it all began and to fully bask in the musical genuis of Lloyd-Weber.

 

And CLOY will be the same for me, I guess. When travel restrictions are lifted I plan to visit SoKor and include in my itinerary places where they shot CLOY. (See attached video) CLOY has set the bar so high for other kdramas, especially in terms if its reach. Just so glad we all love it and will continue to love it for many years more to come.

Thank you @BJHope for giving us that checklist and for always encouraging us with ur witty words..

Btw..I will add another point to ur checklist..So those who are planning to re-watch CLOY, you can read the drama thread side by side if u have free time....It was such a joyful ride with funny gifs,memes , deep reasonings  as well as marvelling at the unpredictable nature of CLOY.. Especially the details behind some parts will astonish you..For example: How many of you know that the actual son of the Minister of General Political Bureau was able to study in Switzerland?? Go check page 52 in CLOY thread. There is a  translated  The Fact interview of a defector who had some rich knowledge about the isolated country.

 

If you come across people dissing CLOY, just take a small peek at the drama thread and you will know how people were going crazy during the weekdays anticipating the new episodes to drop . Even many veteran kdrama watchers would get impatient for new episodes. As for me ,I used to rewatch the available CLOY episodes as well as Binjin's other works during the weekdays .After the weekend gets over I would start from epi 1 of CLOY again and go on. 

Infact those two week hiatus were such a torture.. Although waiting was the only bad thing but it led to the formation of many amazing theories.. Back then I used to be a lurker in that forum enjoying everyone's input..

 

There is a reason why CLOY was loved so much..I have started watching new dramas and although  they are enjoyable but I don't find myself attached to them .I don't even look forward to the succeeding episodes with any fervour.

The reason for obsession is obviously the whole CLOY team..but the biggest factor is definitely Binjin..

Time to get ready for the drought..

BINJIN and the Matchmaker

So remember this BTS....

They were trying to act for an emotional scene yet they somehow find it really difficult.

 

 

 This is not to contradict what @lovelyz said about this scene where SYJ and HB said they cannot do the scene and quit .... and after successfully doing it, SYJ continued to cry and said "this is hard". It is nice to present here also some insights from a different perspective and since this is drought times, i want to share my beautiful feeling on this scene. I did this in March but would like to share now that i am reminded of.

 

This is one of my favorite scenes because it proved to me how they feel for each other.

 

When i saw this scene in the series, i really wanted to see if there was a BTS about it and lo and behold, there was. I was trained to analyze situations in my career so i applied the techniques and see what conclusion i can come up with.  I did  step by step review  the before and after scenarios ; listened to the dialogues carefully and observed the expressions displayed. 

 

My conclusion why this scene was difficult for them..... because they LOVE each other!

 

Going back to @lovelyz, people who are together will have difficulty carrying scenes with eye to eye contact.

 

This scene in CLOY was the first time that HB acting as RJH showed harsh expressions both in body language and verbal . When he was shot and expected YS to have gone out of North Korea as a member of a Running Team participating in Europe and seeing YS was still with him in the hospital room, he was angry because all the efforts done to help her out were futile. Remember, he pushed YS (SYJ) a little too strong and with his disappointed facial expression said a very harsh sentence . I felt it during my viewing of the episode so i immediately looked  for a BTS. YS (SYJ)cried a lot on this scene even after the shoot and even HB as RJH admitted it was difficult to shoot the next scene and that was the kissing scene outside of his hospital room.

 

SYJ being a very sensitive actress felt it and was hurt emotionally . This is when it is difficult to separate acting from reality. Even HB felt it. They are in LOVE!  

Fellow shippers, review that scene and be sensitive . Then you can witness what was seen.... it is no longer the RiRI couple but BinJin.

Meanwhile our talented shippers are always coming up with creative stuffs..

We need to talk to her and ask what does she know about BinJin hahaha (just kidding) Honestly, her liking spree gives us hope somehow, I just hope that she doesn't receive DMs asking about BinJin

 

I'm so annoyed rn at our local courier, I ordered CLOY OST album and it was reported as a lost parcel! I waited almost a month for nothing

Quote

A representative of Ms.Team's agency, Son Ye-jin, said that Son Ye-jin's advance into Hollywood has not yet been confirmed, and that it is unreasonable to see the impact of the popularity of 'Crash Landing on You', but feels the influence of Netflix on the popularity abroad. After the 'Crash Landing On You' was released through Netflix, there were several overseas advertisement proposals, and an interview request was also coming.

The official added, "I don't have a direct feeling due to the situation in Corona 19, but there is a story about hot popularity in Korea, and after Netflix release, several requests are coming from Japan, so it is gradually gaining popularity."

 BJ Survival Checklist for my own sanity:

 

1: Read (re-read) the first 300 pages of this thread, where the original sleuthing and analyses of evidence big and small were done by shippers who displayed the combined skills of private investigators, psychoanalysts and psychics. These form the CORE of this thread. Well worth the revisit.

 

2: Watch CLoY from Ep1 and re-experience the love journey that brought us here. Now that u have been in this thread and know more, some scenes will strike u differently. 

 

3: Savor the CLoY bts for all episodes - here’s a reference list

 

4: Laugh along with BJ in the CLoY Youtube interviews - Couch Talk, Compliment Me, Mission Pong, DIY, CLoY TvN interviews and Netflix interviews.

 

5: Marvel the sweet flirtations of BJ in the TN promo era - Youtube, IG postings

 

6: Lie down, listen to soft jazz, close your eyes and recall all his gazes at her & her gazes at him.

 

7: Chuckle over the Metro Interview - the relaxed HB, the smile, eye squeeze, his thoughts of SYJ.

 

8: Gasp at the Tiktok interview. See the “Us” and the “We” sprinkled throughout like stardust.

 

9: Watch vid “5 BinJin Candies Last Baeksang That You Shouldn’t Miss” - Thank you to@GroceryShipper  for it. This is a persuasive rebuttal to HB supposedly “being cold”, when in fact it was all Gold! Here it is again:
 

 

10. Rejoice at Yeijinhand’s IG Likes of Baeksang BJ pics with couple captions. Just LOOK at this one below. It was written in Korean, so no way for SYJ not to understand its meaning! 

 

 

 

 

 

I love your checklist!!!

BINJIN and the Matchmaker 

 

 

Also known as the "self-sacrificing-often-invisible-present-but-ignored" third-wheel...

[ninjayejin]

 

If you actually go to this account it says "product, service" so it's not  a personal account ( I naively assumed it was a hairstylist or designer one related to the brand  because I barely use instagram) . Meaning someone from the marketing/social media is managing it . And they follow their job protocol. And them expanding their likes today is kinda fishy to me. 

 

- They know YJ is a hot topic and would attract attention , I mean CLOY is a big hit still worldwide .

- Checking a bit on instagram , I realized that most of accounts with a lot of followers are primaly binjin accounts , her biggest fan account that she follows is on private. So far they have a lot of followers coming in from these accounts and normal followers that are divided in Ye-Jin fans and binjin fans , so far they have not published new content - the PR account was aware of the demand as well and even replied to fix any misinterpretations. Correct if i'm wrong but this account started to like actively pics right after YJ posted her last two videos and we knew there was a JH photoshoot. 

 

So makes sense if their timetable will delay or has a specific date for the shoot to be released to do a strategic move to keep the interest on her endorsing their products . So they basically doing marketing. Yes they don't need extra booster in the main buying public especially in SK - their products will sell but there are a lot of countries neighbors to them that they can buy it online, which boosts their sells . Also social media following has a power and it reflects on their statistics about how popular a line is . 

 

They are aware they won't be releasing something NOW so they will have to keep the "fans" and interest on them by liking pics , they did as test first but it's awfully weird to KEEP liking BinJIn pics out of nowhere so obsessively , even HB. Like WHAT? 

 

Marketing......  Like she would sell out their products either way, with this way they basically "playing" fans expectations. If this is true? They do YeJin WRONG, she is the endorser - they should focus on HER and not play the dirty game by random likes that only a certain fanbase will focus on. A lot of YeJin fans are upset over this "game" , unless whoever is behind this account knows personally YJ - or YJ is trolling everyone ( which I DOUBT - she can make another private account and like whatever she likes - its so easy) , a new low.for them  Just say - we can't publish the photoshoot JUST yet but bare with us - we will soon, stop liking and enticing the shippers as if we are THAT stupid at this point. 

 

I admit I was wrong, mostly because I assumed it was a hairstylist account or something, so regarding my post yesterday aiming to the doubters - I'm sorry guys - there is truth to this - my sincere apologies if I sounded aggressive . Also the PA unfollowed that account after they posted BJ content. So there it goes. 

 

The drought is here , so we gonna caught in a weird game of searching for signs , it's obvious they draining the cow . Not cool . 

 

I don't think we should take seriously any liking spree UNLESS its from YJ herself or personally from someone she knows , that probably won't happen since her close friends are private as much as she is. 

 

The drama is over , if we are lucky enough - we might be looking forward for the near future 

 

- their individual projects 

- any crumbs from interviews 

- awards ( well forget the September awards )

- anything unexpected 

 

If the thread slows down, it's not something bad, we have 1000+ pages of material . We don't have to post every hour. 

 

MSteam releasing that info yesterday?? We bullied them a lot I guess and since the interest on YeJin is major at the moment, I mean potentially a movie that will be distributed in US - Japan has a lot of interest on her as well . Its summer - they have to keep the "game" for her, I hope with this they saying " She is not on hibernation , we are active even over the summer and soon you will have more content " 

 

See you on the other side .

The Jenny Likes spree: I don’t buy for one moment the idea that Jenny’s Likes are clickbait and business driven. She is obviously a successful business person in her own right (and since many BJ fans are interntional fans, we can’t do much for Jenny’s business in Korea no matter how many Likes she clicks), she’s a veteran in dealings with K-ent (thus fully aware of the consequences of her socmed interactions) AND is a longtime friend of SYJ . I don’t think she would be flippant about her friendship with SYJ, considering how much in the spotlight SYJ already is. For me, I am simply content to sit in my little corner giggling and playing Happy Feet with mine, relishing how Friend Jenny is thrilled for SYJ to be lovingly linked to HB  and we can too.

 

 

I'm putting my hands up and following you to sit in that little corner and gleefully admiring the many Insta Likes of Jenny on cute little Binjin pictures, GIFs, videos and captions.  I am also happy that someone who appears to be a close associate and friend of YJ seems to be a Binjin shipper and cheerleader like many of us here.

I have been telling myself, “Pull yourself together. You’re not some naive, star struck teenager. You’re an adult, for heaven’s sake”. Yet, here I am feeling wobbly inside, struggling to find a coping mechanism for a possible upcoming BJ drought. With a shudder and a tremble, I drew up my BJ Survival Checklist for my own sanity:

 

It's such a blessing to have you as a fellow Binjin shipper, cuz you have brought so much of encouragement, fun, positivity to this shipping journey!!  Your survival checklist is JUST the thing we need as we anticipate 2-3 months of drought with HB away filming in Jordan. Starting with the grocery gate receipt which is the mother of all receipts, and all the numerous sightings of Binjin in Seoul, LA and who knows where else. The strong wife- husband vibes at the BAA, and of course the infamous YJ Insta Liking spree. Add in the BTS, interviews, promos, fancams and so much more, I think we have MORE than enough to last us these 2-3 months.

 

Of course, I will not STOP hoping and looking out for more receipts, more clues and hints whether from Binjin themselves or others. I will keep them close to my heart, don't have to overly shout it out. Cuz when we know, WE KNOW!

 

 

[ElectricHearts]

Lol why did she only mention SYJ before then 

 

 

 

 

 

[ninjayejin]

@lovelyz thank you for bringing over the example of Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem, she even said in an interview that when you go and be in this project together , it's imagination, it's acting . You don't try to enforce reality in that, she never takes characters at home. She also said : that this is a protection for "them" mixing things is not right.

 

That's why i'm saying that there is a line of mixing fictional character and real characters, even if your co-star is your significant other , especially when you are veteran you don't like mixing fictional and real . For your own self care and be able to separate the two. And we as shippers tend to forget that. 

 

Also Bardem has said as well : We work as hard as we can, but we recognize how hard we can work depends on each other’s needs. It’s important not to be confused by fiction. Fiction is fiction, reality is its own thing."

 

2Ri couple is 2Ri couple - they "act" , they ARE in character

BTS BinJin talking and interacting with each other, in interviews etc = THEM as real people 

 

I mean in negotiation they barely worked in a scene aside the last scene together, so they wanted to work together. HB said it and repeated a lot of times. But I doubt they will be doing that anytime soon. And it's not the end of the world.

Hahaha!! There goes our HB in Maldives theory.   But that's OK cuz this one was a bit of a stretch anyway since we don't have a really solid proof except our speculations and guesses. Maybe its their girls trip before SYJ immerse herself into CLOY filming right after that.  She was gonna spend at least 6 months with Binnie during CLOY anyway and had 2 overseas trips together for the shoot.

@TotoroSYThank you!  @ the end of the day this is what we are here for.  If I want serious news, I will read the Wall Street Journal.  This ship satisfies my cravings (delulu included about my OTP).  As long as we respect people's privacy (and this includes the people close to and around our OTP) and stay within the boundaries of responsible shipping.  Thank you to everyone who makes this a fun haven for BinJin addicts like me!
