I am sure the shippers here are all well prepared to perish with them no matter what is it though I am sure there would be onslaught on both or either of them should things not work out. But everyone is taking their chances with them. Ultimately they will make their own choices who to end up with without having the need to answer to anyone. 

I highlighted your comment about "there would be onslaught if things didn't work."

 

This is the danger sometimes with shipping, if the time comes the OTP chose another path than what we wanted from them and the fans unleash their disappointments, their hurt and anger at them, they would feel it bigtime. Sad and painful but true. Nobody will come out of shipping unscathed, be it for the shippers or the pair they are shipping.

 

Dont get me wrong, for me, BinJin is still my One True Pairing (OTP) and I am still hopeful but if they chose anothe outcome, it will be felt by all, including them.

We know how much more comfortable YJ is with SNS, so she is most likely to lurk. 

 

 Could anyone explain to me what SNS is? I’ve seen it several times in the thread but not sure what it really means. If it means “social network system “, do you know which app SYJ referred to? Tiktok? Ig? Twitter?  As I person living outside South Korea I wonder which app SYH and HB probably used to see her votes at the end of the day. Thank you.

I don’t specifically know but I just use it to mean Social Media i guess? Which reminds me, as a responsible shipper, i should look this up :blush:It’s just one of those SoKor terms, like CF to mean Commercial Films for commercials/ads.

@cocolada In my opinion, he wasn’t sad or disappointed because of not winning.


I respect your opinions and HB may also think that the winner deserves the award.

 

But it’s very natural for a human beings to be sad/ disappointed to not get a reward after one has already tried his best in doing something (many agree that HB’s best performance in his career is in Cloy with YJ, his tears were real, chemistry is the best).

 

Now I put myself in HB’s shoes. He also got nominated last year at Baeksang but the award was handed to senior LBH, he may feel ok with that as LHB is one of the best actors in SK, he won again this year for his movie.

 

However, there were not any senior/ popular actors this year except for HB, but the judges had refused to offer him the best actor award the 2nd time in a row, so he feels sad/ disappointed for sure as a human beings. Moreover, the last time HB won the best actor award from a Korean prestigious award giving body was 9 years ago, in 2009 for his performance in SEGA. HB has won 3 best actor and 1 new best actor awards in his acting career + popularity awards.

 

It is very normal for him to be sad/ disappointed in this situation. Nothing is wrong with that as it does not affect his image at all.

I see many haters forming these days against BinJin. Not surprising though. The buzz about them is getting so LOUD some are getting jealous. I know for a fact some stans of other ladies wanted HB for their girls but nope aint happening! I have followed Hyun Bin's career for a while now, 15+ years and i'm rarely wrong on my calculations about him. I even guessed right during the SHK days after the drama Worlds Within and guess what? Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo  revealed that they were dating exactly one year after that drama! Back then fans were not that active on the internet but i was always involved in my HB group chats and i told many others it was happening with Hye Kyo and they kept denying. Unfortunately i never liked him with that woman and was glad when that ended tbh. Still some fans from that time remained bitter and became haters of HB which is very sad because to this day nobody knows what happened between them so why blame HB? weird behavior. I could bet that the men were not to blame in those relationships but hmmm let's move on...

 

I'm very proud of Binjin for keeping this low profile because for one it means what they have is so precious to them, they want to protect it. For Hyun Bin this is the FIRST time he is secretely dating because he usually announces his relationships especially when it's a lady in K-entertainment. He is a very honest man and is not comfortable with hiding things, you can see it all over his face how nervous he is right now but also very happy with what's happening in his life. I believe this relationship changed both their lives for the better. Ye Jin has NEVER announced one relationship in her entire career. This is VERY rare in this business and really admirable. She wants people to know her for her work only and nothing else. Right now you can see both are focused on showing a PROFESSIONAL front to the public and they DONT want the focus to shift on anything else. Also during this covid-19 madness, the worse two entertainers could do right now is announce a relationship and turn the attention on them which is another reason why they were so low key during this awards.This could end up being what make them last and i think the moment we will know the truth is when a child comes in the picture. 

 

One last thing: No matter what haters try guys, the ONLY thing that should make you stop shipping BinJin is an announcement of wedding from one party to someone else. So far Hyun Bin has been officially single to the public since 2017 and you really think this man has really been single this long? lol He is turning 40 in 3 years, has declared to want marriage and kids when getting closer to that age group yet he would just stay single for 3 years????????!!!!!! yeah okay lol. Just do the math lol. 

 

Anyway just wanted all that off my chest. Going to lunch now. See y'all!

Thank you for your insights. I'm always delighted reading povs and experiences from each of their solid fans as well, for you guys know them pretty well than a noob like me.

 

What I love about them and why I stan them is because (to name a few of my admiration for them) of their elegance, grounded, class and professionalism.  I've watched their The NEgotiation movie,  Binnie was scary haha (he really nailed his character) and Jinnie, I agreed with Bin when after he killed her boss that instead of blowing off she did the opposite. I hope I can watch "Be With You". I'm more into movies instead of drama series :blush: so now I look forward to Binnie's new movie "Bargaining".

I haven't really watched all of Hyunbin's interviews/press conference for his old movie/series.. only the most recent ones like Memories of Alhambra, Jekyll Hyde and The Negotiation. 

 

Was he as funny/jovial as what we saw in recent Swoonies Couch Talk/Pingpong game/ TN press conference compared to his other interviews? What do u think?


Honestly, I think he laughed a lot more and is more relaxed/ outspoken when he does interviews with SYJ. 

She really does bring out the not so serious part of him. 

Probably because there's no huge age gap and they are both long time influential k actors in the industry... so no inferiority complex that kinda thing lol. 

 

Can someone enlighten me? 

 

I kept asking myself if its just my wishful thinking, that he really does look genuinely happy (always bickering/teasing SYJ) in all their interviews.. Does he do this bickering/ teasing thing to his other co star in previous works as well? But of course SYJ plays a part in this because she's funny and happy go lucky. 

 

The interviews for MOA was so boring (even JENGGA game) I couldn't bring myself to finish the entire clip. 

 

BTW he looks tired at yesterday's Baeksang though. Poor HB must be tired from all the filming/ CFs after the huge success of CLOY.

Hi all,  trong chemistry and immersive acting of the BinJin couple. This made me want to know more about them after the drama ended, which led me to the Soompi CLOY thread, and eventually this BinJin shipping thread. I didn’t really care about celebrities before, and yet here i am shipping my first ever celebrity couple.

 

Decided to delurk since i found recent events on BinJin and the discussions here quite interesting, and thought to offer a male perspective (yes, i am a guy, this is my secret life and not even my wife knows that i am a closet BinJin shipper lol).

 

Firstly, on CLOY not winning what we think they deserve in BAA, i think politics is likely an important factor, given recent escalation in tensions around the same time the BAA nominees were announced and judges were making their decision. Even within SK there was negative press related to this when the drama was announced and a threat of lawsuit when it was airing. This is not to take away from the winners, even if i have not watched those dramas, i am sure they also delivered great performances since they were also nominated, but if you were the BAA judges, would you want to potentially be the cause a new round of political tensions by giving CLOY high profile awards that will surely have global media attention given the drama’s popularity? In a tight race with tough and almost equally deserving competition, a concern like this could be the deciding factor to tip the vote in favor of the other contenders. In hindsight, it makes me wonder if the writer had not openly called the countries NK and SK, and instead used fictional country names maybe this could have been avoided (in a western political drama i watched before, they had one episode where the plot was about the conflict between fictional countries they called East and West Honshu, but if you read between the lines, you can tell it is about NK/SK). Anyway, what is done is done, maybe CLOY had to be sacrificed for the greater good of peace and political stability, and nomination is the best it could have gotten under the circumstances. Regardless what happened at BAA, the validation from fans globally which none of the other nominees can match is enough proof that CLOY and its cast are winners. From a professional perspective, BinJin are clearly winners, their brilliant performance in CLOY has earned for them a global fanbase which will only help their future career prospects.

 

Back to BinJin, it was very clear to me with the grocery incident there is something going on between them. As a guy, i will not fly halfway across the world to meet just a mere acquaintance, and even a close friend there has to be a really valid reason, for example if that close friend has already migrated to that country. It makes no sense to me for Bin to go that far away, waste so much time and energy on flight and have to deal with jetlag, to meet someone who he can more easily meet up with in their own country. And they met there not even for sightseeing, but grocery shopping?! This tells me that clearly at the time, Bin has romantic intentions pursuing Jin, and she is open to his advances to agree to meet him. That it happened around the time and likely for the celebration of an important occassion (her birthday) with rumors of a lunch with Jin’s family gives added weight to it and tells me Jin has strong interest too; if you went to the trouble of going so far away to have alone time on your birthday to spend with family, why then would you entertain meeting someone who is just a normal friend, when you can do so after you return from your trip, in your own country? Their agencies also did not know how to deny at first and had to check back with BinJin on what to say when the clear as day grocery photos were released, after initially conifidently denying the rumored lunch with Jin’s family. Put the puzzle pieces together and you can tell this is more than likely a pre-planned secret romantic meetup between mutually interested parties to celebrate a special occassion.

 

Now the grocery incident happened a few years back, from then things could have progressed, or it could also have stalled. So you look at what were the developments since then, and while alot has happened and would be too much to talk about in just one post, I would like to fast forward to recent events because ultimately thats what we would want to know, is the ship still sailing at this moment? 

  1. Metro interview - alot has been said of this, but the fact that Bin voluntarily brought up Jin in a question that was about this own physical appearance, and with that facial expression, tells me he clearly still has Jin in his thoughts at all times. I catch myself having that same reminiscing smile when i am reminded of special moments shared with my girlfriend (now my wife) when we were dating, so i can relate with what was going on there with Bin. Questions were obviously pre-screened, but we dont know if just by V employees or Bin himself, but either way it gives him away. If it was screened by Bin himself, then he chose to include the question, and his pre-prepared answer needlessly included Jin; if it was just screened by V employee, i pity the poor V employee who could not have known that such a seemingly innocent question could trip up the boss into remembering an event 2 years ago and answer that way, revealing to all that Jin continue to be his top of mind.
  2. Pifan vs BAA comparison - this is specifically on how Bin acted towards Jin in these events. In Pifan, he didn’t know her personally yet, so his actions were just being polite, how a typical gentleman would act towards most women - while he went ahead towards the stage, but he looked back to check if she was ok, and let her give her speech first. In BAA, his actions towards Jin were extra attentive and protective, letting her walk ahead, but surveying the situation ahead and making sure to be nearby when he saw potential hazards like wires, him watching her steps, etc. This is the exact same thing i do for my girlfriend/wife, kids, parents, i.e. for those people i deeply care about, so seeing the contrast in his approach, but for the same person, is quite telling of the change in Bin’s mindset towards Jin now. And when a guy does this for a lady he likes, it is also a way of warding off competition and letting it be known that this is my girl so you other guys back off lol
  3. Joint acceptance of individual popularity awards - reading the english translation of their speeches, you can tell it was coordinated such that Bin and Jin each gave bits and pieces to complete an overall message. Bin brought up CLOY, while Jin is the one who called out co-actors/actress and director of the drama. Bin expressed thanks to fans for their efforts voting for them, and Jin made sure to highlight that includes both Korean and international fans. Bin offered the information they are aware of all the effort fans did on their computers and cellphones, and Jin shared they were also monitoring the developments everyday together with the fans. Bin made sure to also express his well wishes for Everyone dealing with Covid, and they both promised to repay fans with future roles and better acting. They covered all important messages without being repetitive through their combined couple speech. Then backstage even if they didnt need to, they still interviewed together, posed close together sharing just 1 trophy, and repeatedly mention “we” in their speech. Clearly they approached this as a couple award even if it is not, because they knew fans delivered it to them as a couple award, and to me it is telling particularly for Jin that she knows about it, and is ok with it, despite being known to be protective of her reputation and avoiding dating “scandals”.
  4. Color Coordinated Outfits - Jin wanted to wear gold, now Bin’s stylist has to find a color that goes well with that, and hence the navy blue tux, an interesting choice when other men were wearing black (i am sure most ladies here already know, but if you do a quick google search of the best companion colors for gold, you will find dark blue is one of the top choices). Why is this important? If i were not in good terms with someone, or i dont want to fuel further couple speculations to avoid dating “scandals”, i will surely not coordinate colors to make us look even better as a couple, knowing that we will be on stage to receive an award together.

As you can tell from above, Bin’s giveaways from recent events are much more direct (he has always been the more obvious one), while Jin’s are a bit more nuanced, more of indirect confirmation - she indirectly confirms she continues to be interested (at least) by not doing actions that confirm she is not interested. Jin herself said that she is aware and was monitoring social media posts on Tiktok voting, which means she is definitely also aware of all the BinJin shipping going on in social media. If its untrue they are in a relationship she would want to put a stop to that, so why continue to encourage that narrative of being a couple by doing couple speeches and posing as a couple for an individual award, and wearing coordinated outfits that make them even more shippable as a couple? Jin herself said that she would like to get married by 40yrs old which is just a couple years away, if she does not see a future with Bin, why continue to allow herself to be romantically linked to him, and thus discourage other potential suitors and lose time, when she could easily put a stop to it by personally issuing a denial they are dating, which she had no problem doing for other men linked to her in the past? And please, saying they laughed the rumors off, or that they were not holding hands under the table, or that they were only meeting with other friends in LA, these are just misdirection and far from being actual denials of dating. When grocery shopping happened it confirmed for me that there is at the very least mutual interest, it has been 3 years since and while Bin is still an open book, I daresay Jin can’t still be just at “interested” stage given her self declared timeline and they are likely much further along their relationship by now.

 

On BinJin being “cold” to each other in BAA, that never crossed my mind when i was watching. I saw what i expected to see, which is BinJin acting prim and proper in an event where they should act prim and proper. It would be unbecoming of them to cause a scene by openly flirting and blatantly displaying affection, in an event meant to celebrate the acting profession of all the attendees, amidst the somber backdrop of Covid and social distancing. They cannot just hijack BAA and turn it into their own engagement party, knowing what the event is about and knowing how much hype there is on them already that could overshadow everyone else if they are not careful. Their effort to deflect attention away from themselves show that they are sensible and socially aware human beings and is commendable, it is quite surprising to me that it got twisted by some into a negative narrative.

 

In fact, for me part of the fun while watching a show i could not understand a word of what they were saying, was catching those little moments when BinJin let their guard down a bit, because despite their best attempts, they also can’t help it and still give away bits of affection here and there. Bin is much better at it now than before, i guess he is learning after seeing all the videos online of how he gives it away all the time, but he still needs more practice! I mean you can literally see him consciously catching himself staring at Jin again, and instantly switch back to serious mode and look robotically straight ahead at the camera. At least now he is able to correct himself and not need Jin to nudge him back to his senses, so thats an improvement lol.

 

Whew, a long essay for my first post. In summary, with Bin you look at what he does, but with Jin you look at what she does not do. From what i saw and didn’t see on the recent events, ship is sailing steady! They will reveal what they want to reveal at the time that is right for them, which is how it should be because it is their personal lives and relationship that is at stake.

Thank you @2Riornot2Ri for the male insight! This is exactly what my male friend also says regarding all the points you covered above. He also agreed that during Baeksang, both of them are acutely aware of each other's presence and were not acting cold to each other at all. I believe our ship is still sailing calmly. Looking forward to watch HB's upcoming film and hopefully YeJin will also start doing another film/drama next year!
