Lee Da Hae needs to sign up with his management/learn from him ASAP.

awwww he looks like a boy!! wow that sheared hair really changes a man :(
gonna miss him!

I KNEW IT!!!! Tears!!! I was a fan of their relationship!! Sigh...

LOL, savvy management but also not the savviest considering Hyun Bin lied through his teeth in Taxi. Of course acting all defensive and beligerent (almost) when it came down to the Q and A of his relationship status with his ex didn't help kill the break-up rumors as well. I guess this just goes to prove that you can't trust official statements through management companies that insist that you two are "happily dating away."

awww Binnie!!! well we'll see him DEC 2012!

I wish both of them well.

wish him the best of luck!

i'll miss him TT^TT

This makes me go aww while still mumbling bits of yays to myself.

Not that I'm happy that a couple has broken up... but...

The Binnie is AVAILABLE.

Bye Bye Binnie. And I agree...his management is really good.

Best of everything Hyun Bin....

Seems like a smart move. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. It will be two years and so so much can happen.Feelings change and so do people. I'd like to think its less about savvy management moves and more about common sense, in both their personal lives.

In any case HB........take care....look forward to your return.

Not to sound terribly superficial...but seeing these pictures, I'm deeply mourning the loss of his hair :( Bye-Bye lovely Kim Joo Won hair :( In all seriousness, though, I wish Hyun Bin best of luck in the marines! looking forward to his return in two years.

Sadly, I am not very surprised by the news about their break up... On a different note, the pictures of his send off were so emotional. You can really tell how touched he is by the love from his fans.
Good luck Binnie! See you in 2 years!

Yay! I've been waiting for this post.

I am SO gonna miss him! But at least we got Secret Garden (and more), two movies, a ton of CFs, and two special songs to watch/listen to over and over again until Dec. 2012. Sad about the break up (eh..not really^^ I prefer him with HJW now. Am I fickle or what? ;) ), but at least he can really concentrate on what's in front of him.
(I need to take my own advice. lol)

Best wishes, Binnie! See you soon!

Wow, he stands out in the crowd. Yum!

thanks jb,

Trying to win fans heart for the coming two years !.

something not right with the prostation - to netizen !.

it's saddening..they are such a lovely couple but its time to say goodbye..sigh

Binnie, wish you the best and in you back in 21 months. His mgmt company did a good job but it is also common sense that the two will break up eventually - imagine their busy schedules, they probably only see each other couple hours per month. Are you telling me this is what you call having a relationship? Anyway, wish them both the best!

No comment on the relationship because that is no one's business but their own.

All I want to say is: You have to giggle at how tall he is compared to the rest of the Marine enlistees. Love it! :)

Gonna miss you Binnie!

Work hard
Keep healthy
Stay safe

...and that goes to all of you.

I am so going to miss him.

Look how short everyone looks around him. I thought he was standing on something at first. Poor boys.

HE'S SO TALL.

You know, it's sort of funny to see how much taller Binnie is compared to the people around him in the last photo. Done on purpose? Hmm, then again, the bald guy in the same photo sticks out, too.

Anyways, it's not that much of a surprise that they're broken up seeing as they do have ridiculously busy schedules. Oh boo. They were such a cute looking couple, too!

what?! Binnie will return in 2013! *sigh*

Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo are good looking couple, same age, reaching same goal together. Yes, they are cute couple that I like very much. It will become part of their life story.

Awww sad to hear that they amicably split (they always write this). And a nice move from HB's team! Im sure the guy is heartbroken but Im sure SHG is hitting herself agreeing to this split. I will be waiting patiently for his release!

he's single! and i'll be waiting when he returns :)

I always believed that thier relationship will never last and it came true.

I think it must be SHK decision who wants to focus on her acting career more than his. Ha..Ha..

Well he still have HJW as his friend.

Sad, since they look so cute together but amen about how savvy his management is! HB and SHK are both A list stars so its hard to keep a stable relationship when the entire country and world is eyeing your every move. I wonder if it would work if .. say imagine they're both not so high profiled celebs?

I've got to say, SHK's exs and rumored bfs has always been high profile stars! Girls got it goin'!

WE MISS YOU HYUN BIN!!!

I heart this man. Such a class act. To make sure people keep their focus on what a huge commitment the military is and not about a relationship. I'll miss you oppa!

no.no.no.no............(holding on his legs)

i miss him already. hope for his safety and health through out his 2 years service.

the breakup doesn't come as a surprise... he's been vague about her in various interviews and i think we would have been more surprised if they actually HADN'T broken up haha

still i think his agency could have waited a bit longer to announce the split. it's even plainer now how calculated it was. obviously announcing the breakup back in january wouldn't have brought hyun bin any good, and i agree it was a smart move to conceal this information from the public.

but to announce it within hours of his enlistment?? they couldn't have waited a few days?? i don't know, to me... it just looks... haha. on the other hand, i think most people already suspected it so maybe it was better to give up the ruse as quickly as possible... gah i'm mixed!

i will def miss him...

The Ji Won/Binnie shippers must be over the moon now.

Loved the ending comments girlfriday... so true! I actually thought of Gong Yoo's send off too after reading this article and seeing the photos included. Some similarities there.

I like the way they handle the press. It is called forthright and clear cut!!

Good news-Binnie is single Bad news he won't be attainable till 2 years later.
Smart move avoiding all rumors of breakup till army enlistment so that everyone is focused on their work not their break up. I don't pay much attention to celeb hook ups or break ups even if i read them. but i'm glad things ended piecefully even if things didn't totally work out.
2 lonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg years what to do till then??

To be honest, this was all for Hyun Bin's benefit. Not really at all for Song Hye Gyo. She could've said they were broken up at any point. It's not like she was at all in the spotlight. Although I love Hyun Bin, I give credit to her and how she is the one who had to endure all the questioning while it's not any benefit to her to keep it a secret.

Anyways, I hope things start going better for Song Hye Gyo. The whole Lee Byung Hun fiasco and now this. Fighting to them both!

Bye Binnie see you in 2013!

look, i'm not even surprised. i knew they're gonna break up, don't get me wrong i support them, but based on their busy schedules, the relationship is going to be tough for them.

Ah but arent these standard moves in entertainment? How many breakups have been announced on, before, or right after enlistment? And the conflicting schedule answer is the standard in all breakups...."we grew apart".

They are both smart with their careers, and keeping their relationship private. I think they handled it all perfectly. Good luck Bin!

im gonna miss him... see u in 2 sparky suit binnie!!♥

Chale, 2 years. I was really touched by the pictures. He looked sad and moved. Yeah, Binnie, we love you,we will be waiting for you.

Awww....Any break up is hard. Poor Oppa. I'm gonna miss him. See you in two yrs Hyun Bin Oppa!! =) Fighting!!

I really loved those two as a couple, so I'm really sad about this breakup. I'm hoping these two years in the military gives him time to think about the love of his life and realizes it's her. Of course the mature person in me is saying "oh, that's good that it was an amicable split and best wishes on all their future endeavors", but the deluded fangirl in me is saying "twoo wuv conquers all!!!!!!". *sigh*

I was a little afraid of reading the article because the Dramabeans site has been so snarky about all thnigs Hyun Bin since the notorious Secret Garden incident.

Nice neutral write-up.

A relief reading it.
