I believe that being the perfectionist that he has always been, he wanted to give his best performance with the Smart CF. However due to his many commitments, he was unable to prepare his lines sufficiently. Plus, doing the actual voiceover is additional work too, separate from filming the commercial. Time which HB may not have a lot allotted for this filming schedule. 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites

So for sure HB puts 100% time and effort into everything he does, and won't take up something if he didn't have enough time to go through it. Anyways I am sure SMART didn't mean it in any demeaning way. Who cares about English anyways. Most countries in the world are successful despite communicating in their native language only. For a non native speaker, ability to speak English is as good as an English speaker's ability to speak French or German. Lol! I remember I used to play back every english and spanish speaking lines of HB while watching MOTA because it’s so dang sexy! Plus during his MetroStyle interview, I still swoon at how perfect his diction was when he said ‘Philippines’ with a perfect ‘ph’ sound. And yes it’s definitely NO BIGGIE! He can talk like Mr. Bean in front of me for all I care and I’d still take my panties off for him in no time. Sorry, another one married woman here thirsty for HB.

BinJinSsi 341 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 @ElectricHearts i agree! I think the writer could have worded that part better. I remember watching his videos and being super impressed with his pronunciations - his ‘Hello Philippines’ and ‘...this is Metrostyle’ had me all googley eyed. *chef’s kiss!* it had that neutral American English accent down pat. Even his Tagalog lines were lovely to hear. These two are just killing it! I love it!!! 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cream_Moki 483 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 So proud of our queen SYJ...she looks so sexy and fierce riding the bike yet still maintains her feminine aura... I wonder what HB is thinking after watching that ad, too bad he is so far away now Thank you SMART for listening to the fans and making this CF happened!!! Can't wait for HB to come back from Jordan then I guess they will film the next part....I'm so excited 13 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites

mamipoppins 515 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 12 hours ago, ILSYJSG said: Is it because there are not many Cnet fans here to update us on Binjin's latest? I mean, those hints dropped were too obvious not to link them to YJ. Here we are all speculating over SMART's teasers and neglecting Saselomo's. I think it's because there are more Filipino (abroad and in the Philippines) fans here 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post ninjayejin 4,118 Posted August 3 Popular Post Share Posted August 3 It's understandable to feel frustrated regarding the wording of the article however I feel there is a huge element missing here. - The timeline suggests per SMART that HB joined first - thereafter the company realized how much the fans wanted a CLOY reunion and decided to gable and get YJ to join. At the time HB filmed : a. there wasn't a more complicated scenario per say , thus he probably felt it would be more adequate for him to say less and be more active as image than a voice as well, plus it doesn't matter if he knows and speaks English well . It's a telco CF - I felt the male voice fitted the project and HB added the presence with few words in the native language . It wasn't about him not speaking the language or feeling he wouldn't do justice, he did speak English in CLOY and in MOTA as well. Its more about the project itself at that time. Just feel sometimes non English native speakers in the case of the person writing the article despite ace level of English we all miss the point when writing because our brains structure in our mother language and type in English. Something just got missed that's all. b. YJ joined later ( probably negotiations underwent for awhile ) and they had to create a continuation of the CF - where as per MR CEO himself , she is full of ideas , plus she filmed the CF/ voiceovers in July post - announcement of the Hollywood debut where if not a lot - several K-netizens questioned whether or not she can pull through a project in full length only in English. So she decided to risk in this and go more ENGLISH - yes she does speak the language but even in interview abroad - China , Japan etc prefers to speak in Korean. Also she said so herself : picky princess strikes again . She is really thorough especially when something contains SCENARIO. Someone get this woman to direct ? Once chungmuro , always chungmuro. c. I didn't expect the CF to be connected - it makes sense though - running two parallel products and bridging them through this. Its a big project. they managed to get two A listers - aka movie box office king-queen of Korea + global hit duo of CLOY. Congrats to them.... d. now we can sit and speculate as far as we can , and dissect word by per word but Im actually happy months post CLOY - months post a storm of rumors/denials and back again , YJ who in fact is the one most careful for I don't know 20 something years - she is not turning down an offer - as most of us assumed she would due to the whole thing, rather its surprising how she is been handling the whole thing post Baeksangs. Like I wasn't expecting her to thank us - look so happy for an award when mind you she gets awards every year ....be active on SNS with videos - her agency probably gave out - they still upgrading their main computer to windows vista per moment, waiting for the windows 10 upgrade at some point - and saying up front , straightforward her motivation of accepting. Majority of Kdrama pairs that have rumors - true or not - post drama/movie barely interact ..... been there , witnessed that and was left heartbroken because you don't have to ship a duo to wanna see them on screen together. The fact she accepted the project for the fans means a lot , people can call it fanservice however again she is entitled to do whatever she likes with her fans yeah? if her form of communication and appreciation is this , we should all be glad . But again what fans is she catering? Her main YJ solo fanbase ? I mean we got a CF hours before and we all had a meltdown.... however the CF of SMART is a different story.I don't think there is a deeper meaning , girl has been clear with her actions , words and always reminds of the fans. If she was feeling uncomfortable several things wouldn't have taken place post Baeksangs . Just a reminder.if said "friend" and her are in a level of communicating post storm of rumors - and her joining a campaign of a joint CF then - at least we know they are not COLD with each other as people keep using as counter argument - I hope their "friendship" continues to giving out candies . Considering the drought we were left post CLOY with them being MIA ? That's water in the dessert , cherish and appreciate it as much as you can. 44 7 13 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Jbelr 222 Posted August 3 Popular Post Share Posted August 3 1 hour ago, Ri Se Ri said: Someone might have asked SMART about the voice over and I think it's not too bad for SMART to say that he had difficulty with the long lines because not all asians are good in it. It's not something to be ashamed of though. Hyunbin and Yejin could have laughed it off. Who cares? Let's not dwell too much on it and be thankful instead. We are anticipating another cf. Thank you, I agree they meant no harm. There were lots of behind the scenes and meetings before they arrived into the final concept even the script that we were not aware of. The fact that Hyun Bin did the voice over and for SMART to choose the words that would suit him to speak confidently reflect professionalism. It’s pretty unfair to call out the CF company unprofessional, yes, I’m a Smart subscriber and from PH, silent lurker and a proud BinJin shipper. I may sound biased but the VPs we’re so grateful to the different BinJin fandoms in making this ad a success to the point that they contacted active fans personally and closely coordinated the hashtags to be used for the launch (for marketing purposes, still business but to give us moving BinJin ) Like many of us said, speaking English whether long ones or not, didn’t matter at all. Both of them are much better speakers of ESL now. They are 2 great people who always give their 100% for us, and truly professionals. Let’s enjoy their gifts we’re getting, we’re definitely winning. Cheers, happy shipping 26 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
