On January 13, Hyun Bin and director Woo Min-ho appeared as guests on MBC FM4U’s “Perfect Day with Lee Sang-soon”.
When asked why he performed the action scenes without a stunt double, Hyun Bin explained: “This allows the camera to capture the actor more closely. If you use a stunt double it is difficult to render the actor’s face and expressions.“
He added: “In our film, it was important to fully capture the desperate struggles on camera, so I chose to play them myself. During a scene where I had to lift someone and throw them backwards, I hurt my back. I think I tried too hard.“
Lee Sang-soon, who had seen the film with his wife Lee Hyo-ri, noted the frequent smoking scenes, asking if it was difficult for the actors. Hyun Bin replied: “Some actors smoked real cigarettes, but I used nicorettes.“
Meanwhile, “Harbin” is set in 1909 and tells the intense story of those who head towards Harbin with a singular purpose and the relentless pursuit and suspicion among them. The film is currently playing in theaters nationwide.
