Hyun Bin Accepts First Villain Role For New Thriller 'Negotiation,' Son Ye Jin Also Confirmed To Join Cast

After considering their next projects quite carefully, it has been confirmed that Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have accepted the offer to star in a new thriller that is bound to keep audiences interested because if its interesting premise and heavyweight cast. Fans would have to wait until 2018 before they see this film though.

According to a report by Soompi, Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin have accepted the lead roles for the film entitled "Negotiation." The film will revolve around a Crime Negotiation Team's best negotiator Ha Chae Yoon (Son Ye Jin) who will be given the difficult task of freeing her boss Min Tae Kyu (Hyun Bin) from hostage takers.

This was a very interesting character choice for Hyun Bin since his character is described as a villain. This will make it the first time for the actor to challenge himself by playing a character outside of his comfort zone.

Hyun Bin, who is known as one of the highest paid actors in Korea was last seen in the drama Jekyll, Hyde and Me in 2015. He has since focused on making films like "Confidential Assignment" shown earlier this year, "The Swindlers" which is set for release later in the year. The actor has lined up two movies with a 2018 playdate - "Outbreak" and "Negotiation."

Early this year, Hyun Bin admitted to dating actress Kang Sora and explained why he chose to make their relationship public. I just admitted it because it's the truth, but that doesn't mean I want to open up my whole private life," the actor said about his decision. The couple has kept their relationship low-key, and even choose not to attend the press conference of each other's projects so as not to draw attention away from their work, Sports Chosun.

For her part, Son Ye Jin has similarly focused on making movies after her last drama 'Don't Look Back: The Legend of Orpheus" in 2013. She was last seen in last year's "The Last Princess" and "The Truth Beneath."
