Actor Hyun Bin, who’s currently serving with the Korean Marines, left for Indonesia on October 4th from Incheon International Airport.
The Department of Defense has revealed that Hyun Bin will be staying in Indonesia from the 5th to the 7th for a three-day, two-night official visit. On the 5th, the actor will be attending an Armed Forces Day event, before going to meet with a local Indonesian navy battalion on the 6th.
While currently off-duty as a star, Hyun Bin’s visit to Indonesia is credited to his hit drama, ‘Secret Garden‘. It was revealed that the drama, which was broadcast in the Indonesia recently, received much love and popularity from the local populace. So much so in fact, that Indonesia invited the actor to visit their country. The Department of Defense approved of his invitation and allowed him to fly out to meet his fans.
This wasn’t the first time that Hyun Bin received a love-call as a celebrity while on duty. Last month, Hyun Bin made an official visit abroad after participating in a marathon. In addition, he was involved in a promotional Marine Corps photoshoot last summer.
Hyun Bin’s visit to Indonesia isn’t just a PR move for the Hallyu wave — it’s said to be directly connected to Korea’s military exports, as Indonesia decided to import Korea’s advanced equipment, T-50s, and submarines.
