If you're seeing a bit more Hakyun these days, the movie Joint Security Area/공동경비구역 JSA (plot: North and South Korean soliders accidentally make friends at the DMZ) just had a 25th anniversary screening. He couldn't attend, but the director, Park Chanwook (who made Old Boy, The Handmaiden, etc.), said that if it came out today, the movie would probably include a queer romance between Shin Hakyun and Kim Taewoo's characters, which he says is clear if we "just look at Hakyun's eyes in the movie." It's not the first time he's said it, but the media paid attention this time.

Hakyun was also in Guns & Talks/킬러들의 수다 (plot: hitman himbo roommates), which turns 25 next year and was Won Bin's first movie. They were both babies at the time. Maybe we'll get to see a little more of them in 2026, too.
