The Korean movie star was surprised he had such a fan club in Vietnam.

“I wasn’t expecting so many Vietnamese admirers,” Hyun said. “I was extremely moved to be welcomed by fans at the airport yesterday.”

The actor said that if offered the chance, he would love to play a role in a Vietnamese film. Hyun said he was familiar with several Vietnamese directors and would like to work with them.

Born in 1976 in Seoul, Hyun is also a television actor and singer. He shot to fame across Asia after landing a starring role in the 2001 romantic comedy “My Sassy Girl”.
