I think like they both mentioned in interviews, they will continue to grow as an actor/actress and take on work that is appropriate for their age and audience. I believe in everything you have stated. This makes my heart very happy. I also believe that being where they are, they have discussed the consequences . SYJ said that she works hard at everything she does and when she will have a family, she will be too involved. The more i ship them because HB , based on my own findings, has all the right character for SYJ. At the start of this thread, someone mentioned that there is a senior actress (sunbaenim) who said that if what she is looking for is Romance then she likes a certain actor but she likes to be loved by HB. This says a lot about HB's character and i am happy for SYJ. 9 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that most people will be happy for them, other than delusional fans of either who want them to stay single for some reason or fans from other ships. LOL. They've both already proved themselves in the industry for 2 decades, so I agree that they will continue to be sought out, receive work, and do well. I think the biggest change may be that they may not work as often as they do now if they wanted to start a family, so that will be a change of pace for them. However, I do think they're in a little bit of a different situation than LBH and JJH. This is purely my opinion and may be veering off topic since it's regarding other actors too, so I'll put it in the spoiler... feel free to skip because it's probably going to be really long since I have a lot of thoughts about it Hide contents Now I do want to tread carefully here because I am going to engage in some comparison and personal opinions, so I hope no one takes offense or feels discouraged, and I hope you can take my subjective opinion with a grain of salt. I am not saying anyone is more valuable than the other, but LBH's career is definitely on another level than his wife, Lee Min Jung. She is a known actress, but she was never on the level of SYJ or JJH in terms of success or popularity. LBH is an award-winning actor who is popular in both film and dramas, and even with personal scandals in his past, he's continued to succeed in the present. LMJ hasn't been in a film (not that I know of) since she got married in 2013, and has maybe done 4-5 dramas in the last 7 years, whereas LBH has been working non-stop. So I find their relationship to be a bit different from HB and SYJ... who are a bit more equal in terms of popularity and success (him in TV and her in film) and do projects often. I am a fan of JJH as an actress, so I follow her films/dramas. She got married to a non-celebrity, so again I think it's a bit different than HB/SYJ's case who are both really famous celebrities. She used to do 1 project at least once every year or 2 years since her debut in the late 90s, but I don't think she's done a film in the last 5-6 years since having her first child. She's also only done 3 dramas since getting married back in 2012-2013 (?). So she definitely works a lot less after getting married and having kids. Because Korea is still patriarchal, they still expect women to be the one who prioritizes the home/family more. Although, I think the culture is slowly changing, it is still largely the case... for example, there's a novel that was turned into a movie very recently called, "Kim Ji Young, Born 1982," (which I highly recommend and confronts patriarchal society and mental health issues), with Jung Yumi and Gong Yoo, and it caused pretty heated controversy in Korea due to it "supporting feminism." Also maybe you've already read this, YJ actually touched on this in an interview back in March 2018: https://www.soompi.com/article/1139561wpp/son-ye-jin-talks-honestly-dating-marriage And as you may know, LBH's wife LMJ is in SYJ's close girlfriend group, and so she may have thought of her as well when she was talking about this. Going back to how HB/SYJ are both very popular especially now and how a lot of people love them as a couple... it’s probably one of the reasons why they've been so cautious and private once their relationship got more serious, even though they've definitely given us a lot of sweet content cause they just can't help it LOL. I would compare their popularity as a couple to the Song-Song couple (although different in basically all other ways haha. I'm strictly talking about popularity as a couple.)... they were both very popular individually and many people loved them as a couple, but once they got married, I remember SHK got flack from the Korean public for doing romantic/physically intimate scenes with Park Bo Gum in their drama. I think one of the reasons is because people shipped Song-Song so hard. Another big reason is, like I mentioned, there's still sexist attitudes that pervades the Korean culture because I don't remember SJK getting that type of negative feedback. Even with BinJin, I see some comments from fans on YouTube videos of them saying how they can't watch their respective dramas due to skinship with other actors or etc. My hope is that if our couple do get married (which many of us believe they will), that most of their fans around the world will allow them to still work with other actors/actresses without negative feedback. This is a difference between them vs LBH and LMJ (who weren't really shipped at all prior to their dating news coming out) and JJH (people don't know her husband). Other critically acclaimed actresses who still tend to do pretty intimate scenes with other actors in their work like Jeon Do Yeon and Kim Hee Ae (the two I can think of), are both married to non-celebrities, so no one cares because they don't know their partners and can't really put a face to them. All this to say, our BinJin couple have some odds against them here as I outlined... but I think that's why it makes their relationship all the more special. They've clearly calculated and considered all these things much more extensively than I have here, and still decided to take the risk to commit to each other because they've both become worthy of that to one another. They've had successful careers, and they're both at a stage where they probably want to prioritize their personal lives. I think like they both mentioned in interviews, they will continue to grow as an actor/actress and take on work that is appropriate for their age and audience. I do hope they continue to protect the privacy of their relationship once they announce it (even though that makes my shipper heart a bit sad), so that they can continue to flourish as a couple, and not be put under heavy scrutiny or pressure when they decide on different projects. @celest1al Bravo!! What an insightful post you have made on our Binjin couple vs others and why it's different. I salute your effort writing out your detailed and thorough thots on this and totally agree with your analysis. My prayer for Binjin, and also my belief in them, is that they have already talked and discussed about this btwn both of them, and they will figure out a way to make things work. My confidence is that they have full respect for each other, with a belief in shared equality and the strong foundation of friendship. They may even set the standard on how two big K-ent stars can be a couple and still be successful both in their relationship and their respective careers. Quote I posted the original version of this video with the English subtitles under the spoiler of my post here: I am still curious on why that reporter suddenly decided to interview HB while he was giving greetings to fans (that's what he was doing right?). Was it a prank that the reporter pulled as part of his show? HB was still so nice and polite, and was probably shocked when the reporter got pulled away LOL!! His face says it all. 3 hours ago, cloyfan said: @celest1al bravo to everything you said! You made so many good points. I agree that Binjin being shipped SO hard unfortunately only makes things more difficult for them, especially when it comes to maintaining privacy and choosing future works where they may play opposite other romantic leads. I do hope that they continue to protect the privacy they do have (even though I beg for crumbs all the time haha) because it seems the relationships that do last are the ones we know little about. If our ship does sail to the final destination and they do get married, it would be interesting to see how they accommodate each other’s work schedules in the future and balance it with family life. Like you said, it probably won’t be the easiest road they could take (considering how prolific each person’s career has been) but the fact that they’ve made it this far shows some level of commitment to the idea. All we can do is root for them through calm and stormy winds Yes, I also have the same thot. It is always tough when 2 big stars decide to become a real couple. So many things to consider and also the risk they have to take. But I believe Binjin are mature and know what they are doing. The fact that they kept their privacy so tightly for so long shows they are taking things slowly, one step at a time. I only wish them the very very best!! 12 19 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s go back and look at the same scenes paying attention to all the nonverbal languages. They have been throwing us plenty of the nonverbal cues from the very beginning. Always keep on the look out. So, Let’s hit all that replay buttons and watch all the CLOY bts, Swoon videos, TN interviews, CLOY Presscon, Kakao Talk, Baeksang etcs. all over again. Squint and you’ll miss it. And because of the vast (not the company) similarities between BINJIN gestures, and all that notable behaviors, we can all write an article about - HOw to Tell BINJIN are a Couple Without Their Own admission Here’s my points: 1. He always leans towards her. She lean towards him. They are both leaning forward to make sure they hear each other. They don’t cross their arms and even mirror each other. 2. His willingness to be vulnerable with her shows the depths of that feelings. She’s engaging with him and finding something he is saying funny showing she trust and support him. They are consistently in awe of one another. 3. He gives her a lot of attention from his body language. She gives her full and undivided attention in return. Their actions not words demonstrate it. 4. He is touching her. She is touching him. The subtleties in their touch confirms all the other ways to express all that feelings. 5. He respect her. Speaking kindly and maintaining eye contact with her. She respect him. Talking openly and listening to him. The relationship is not a competition, rather a mutual respect and admiration towards each other. Sometimes things happen because they have to happen. Meeting each other when they did, and finding that small moments together, despite all the pressure put on them, and still continue to grow individually as an artist and together as a team is the best thing that ever happen to BINJIN. So, pay attention to the right clues people! While we don’t have control on the outcome and their lives, we have control of how we want to celebrate them and the relationship with Respect for their privacy and Trust on their decisions. Life is not merely a series Of meaningless accidents or coincidences, but rather it is a tapestry of acts that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. (Serendipity 2001) Agree sis. Their non verbals are solid proof. And one more thing, the genuine smile, laughter and happiness that radiates with them. It's so real that we can feel it in our bones. 8 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It brings us back to where we first started noticing that they are more than just close friends, and those subtle yet "kilig" feelings we get whenever we notice those signs. When we remember all that, and just learn to celebrate and not demand, and trust plus respect them, that's really the most satisfying way to ship Binjin. 33 minutes ago, Choisamsook said: @Astaxanthin28 @Felizak@t OMO!!!!

Popular Post Furmom_jds Posted June 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2020 Since there's no update from our treasured BinJin for today, I've been rewatching everything about them specially their FMV's in youtube. It made me smile and realized while watching them, how extraordinary that we were able to see their love story unfolding (right in front of us effortlessly). It is so bizarre that unknowingly they've shown us how it all started and how they have fallen for each other. By watching them since 2017, they both worked so hard to have what they have right this moment. It was obvious that SYJ really did made an effort to really get close to HB. I really think she likes him even before, that's why you will see how "girly" see was during TN. How proud she was to post on her IG like saying "i was able to made him to this cheeky stuff ladies, because I got it". How she flirts. Also, it was so obvious how HB was captivated by her personality, I am sure it is not her looks that caught him at first. It's her unique personality and her positive attitude as well as her being just her even though it's HB whose in front of her. Then when HB's so deeply hooked, she knows how to control it and not gave in so quickly. She knows her feelings but she didn't jump right in. She took it slowly. And that made HB even more challenged. And i think that made them even more stronger, that is why they can surpass every storm right now. I just hope that what they have right now is even stronger as the journey will still be rough (for sure), i just hope there will be no more denials from both parties about what they really are now (a lot of rumors from the other "make believe shipping" been circulating very false stories). I'm just so happy how they turned out to be. Very real. Very authentic. A love story that is really theirs. A story that deserve a happy ending. Sorry it's a long post. I just feel sharing it. I'm happy that my first shipping experience is with them. So worth it 15 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurniva86 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I am not a fan of either HB or SYJ, I am a fan of the couple. But it eekks me real hard when seeing some articles on my local magazines which address SYJ as “the rumored girlfriend of HB”. Yes, she is in a romantic rumour with HB, but she should be known as SYJ and not as someone else’s gf (even if that is HB). That is really undermining her as an individual. Such articles are so cringeworthy! Done with my little ranting. Back to lurking mode. I’d also like to thank everyone for all your lovely and creative and insightful contributions!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I @TotoroSY@celest1al I am not too familiar with KEnt, being new to all of this, but haven't HB and SYJ also been compared to Rain and KTH. I have heard of Rain as a Kpop star and know he has done Hollywood films and I read his wife is a popular Kdrama star. They are a happily married couple and have maintained successful careers. Apparently because of Korean culture they don't do projects together and hardly ever mention their private lives in interviews. I wonder if this will be the route our couple will take if and when. In my opinion, with all the international attention BinJin (most esp through high profile platform, Netflix) has been getting, breaking big into this market should be easier as a couple as there are not much restrictions the way it is in Korean culture. Wishing everyone in this BinJin happy ship a happy Sunday (it is morning here in Cali). 13 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyNoona Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 @celest1al I like your post and agree with you. But it is really hard for any actor to match up with BinJin chemistry because it is real. The reality is there will be criticism, doesn’t matter if the chemistry in Bin or Jin’s next project is good or bad. Both are professional and having high standards. I think it’s best if viewers/ shippers can separate between real life and screen life and be forgiving, accepting and respect BinJin work. Enjoy the story and the amazing work they bring to the audience rather than analysing to details about their acting with their future partners. We loved them because of their work, we shipped them because of their chemistry and hopefully we cherish them because of their talents and not let our shipping hearts dampen their working spirits. 11 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eLizza Posted June 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2020 @celest1al I just loved your analysis. It was rational and to the point. If you ask me about another star couple who are still going really good.. I would eagerly name Lee Bo Young and Ji Sung. Whatever little I know about their story, I will put it in spoiler. Spoiler So both LBY and JS met while starring in a drama. I think Ji Sung was smitten by her since then. However if I m not wrong LBY was uncomfortable about dating an actor. His persistence was commendable and was even ready to leave showbiz for her.Finally she agreed and they dated for many years which obviously included many rough patches but in the end managed to overcome all. Ji Sung always used to respect and protect her through those times and was an attentive bf. This reminded me of HB's character so much. Finally the star couple reached the altar and later on blessed with a child. LBY once said :"She wanted to date bad guys but never actually managed to date such guys ." And yeah Ji sung falls in a good guy category as he is so persevering and caring. I don't think they were shipped that much unlike Binjin. But still with their relationship being public, they had to face quite some pressure. Both the actors were successful in their individual projects and are award winning actors.They can be considered as equals. Guess what ??They know how to work it out. In the first half of 2020 she starred in a drama and for the later half her husband is going to star in another one. So yeah this couple gives me Binjin vibes. But I know our OTP will make a unique story of their own and will just rock the world. PS: I remember a clip where JS and LBY were on stage either recieving or giving some award. The crowd were cheering for them and JS planted a kiss on her cheek....And later on both of them blushed hard. Awww.Here goes my delulu mind expecting some PDA from our Ninja couple in future. 18 9 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
