A Princess loves Hyunbin

Hyun bin’s management company, Star M, recently released a statement announcing that the Princess of United Arabs Emirates, H.H. Sheikha Maitha Al Maktoum has requested for the Korean hottie’s autograph.

The princess, who led the United Arabs Emirates’ (UAE) Karate team is an avid fan of popular Korean dramas such as “My Name is Kim Sam Soon”, “Winter Sonata”, and “Dae-jang-geum”.

Why stop at an autograph? Why not just invite the pork promoter to Dubai?

    In Dubai they show all the korean dramas but they cut out all the scandalous parts. wonder if she wants some personal one on one time *if you know what i mean*

  6. 6 Sang Kyu August 6, 2008 at 9:43 am

  9. 9 Anna August 6, 2008 at 9:54 am

    If I were the Princess of Dubai ~ she’s HELLA rich ~, I’d ask him to recreate a MNIKSS scene with me ^_^ <3

    Preferably the part where he has that long make out with his ex-girlfriend

  10. 10 kuki August 6, 2008 at 9:57 am

    Princess of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) not Dubai. Dubai is just a city in the UAE. Its like calling the queen of England the queen of Manchester.

  11. 11 liz August 6, 2008 at 10:03 am

    Oh I love that pic of him! Hyun-Binnie is one of my fav actors <3.
    If I were a princess I’d absolutely as for more than an autograph!! At least a hug and a kiss on the cheek, geez. =P

  12. 12 liz August 6, 2008 at 10:03 am

    *ask, not as.

  13. 13 xtreelovex August 6, 2008 at 10:07 am

  15. 15 BKJsuh August 6, 2008 at 10:12 am

    Lol, I find this funny.

  16. 16 valski August 6, 2008 at 10:20 am

    how humble. if that was me i’d want to send him on my private jet, take him out to dinner, show him around dubai, and then we’d play kai bai bo.

  17. 17 ohgeeze. August 6, 2008 at 10:21 am

    God, he’s so fcuking hot.

    I’m not surprised.
    That’s pretty cool though.
    Weird that Star M would just announce that.
    That’s not showoff-y at all.

  18. 18 hahaha August 6, 2008 at 10:25 am

    Wow, if I were a freaking Princess I’d be asking for more than just a stupid autograph. lol

  22. 22 xmissy August 6, 2008 at 10:54 am

  26. 26 penguin August 6, 2008 at 12:05 pm

    Haha, way to use her privileges as royalty XD requesting a celebrity’s autograph..she’ll probably get it.

  27. 27 Taejus August 6, 2008 at 12:10 pm

    NOT EFFIN FAIR!

    but thats quite amusing. i bet hyun bin is like ‘really? holy mother fuken shyt!$%45$^”

  28. 28 mzpakipot August 6, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    porker promoter? hahah that’s harsh!

  30. 30 gs August 6, 2008 at 12:57 pm

    Just a correction (I’m from the UAE btw), Shaikha Maitha is not “The” Princess of the UAE, she is only the daughter of the prime minister/Dubai’s ruler and Vice President of the UAE Shaikh Mohammed Al Maktoom. She is royalty, but she is not called a Princess, only a Shaikha.

  31. 31 Jill August 6, 2008 at 12:58 pm

    Princesses, wives, school-gals etc..all womenfolks love him..I hope he stays as hot and sweet..I hope to meet HyunBin soon…!!

  36. 36 Kimhana August 6, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    HEHE, who wouldn’t want Hyun Bin’s autograph…i mean, i want more than that, i want to meet him in person, love his character in My Name is Kim Sam Soon and Snow Queen

    Princess, princess, don’t be ashame
    Your love for Hyun Bin has put you into Fame!!!!

    LOL!!!

  37. 37 Dottie August 6, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    My first Korean love!

    Yes, I have to agree with everyone. Other than Jung Woo-Sung I don’t think anyone can even come close to holding their own next to Hyun Bin.

    He has the making a star inside-out.

    Haters got nothing on him.

    But they try…

    To the UAE princess ~ TAKE A NUMBER!

  38. 38 SP August 6, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    Who? And I don’t find him that great of an actor yet but I am anticipating his drama with Song Hye Kyo!

    ——-

    go love WB then. I love WB too, but u r buggy bringing it on. He didnt ‘come into stardom’ because of whomever. yeah mnikss did give him the fame, but if he’s a doozy in there he wont be still around. He can act and he’s freaken hot and smexy. A lot of ppl knew of him in his earlier roles in Ireland or NNS4, just coz u didnt doesnt mean shxt.

    Yeah and loving SHK gives u all the credibility u need to know what is a good actor or not LOL!!

  41. 41 I♥KimSamSun August 6, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    Hyunbin can’t act!! Pouting all the time is his speciality. Blank looking face is his trademake!!

  42. 42 HATEJJH August 6, 2008 at 3:47 pm

    ^ you must be smoking sth whack, trust me, if he’s pouting all the time, he’ll even get more fangirls swooning.

  43. 43 aliciajoohee August 6, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    wow, he’s my princeeeeeeeee, i want an autograph of him too

    geez she’s kind of buff, looks like she can beat up hyun bin

  45. 45 noire August 6, 2008 at 5:28 pm

    He’s cute. But SHK must be rather sad to co-star with actors of new generation like him. She is more famous, more experienced. She should act with more matured actors such as LBH, SSH or WB or the other of that type.

  46. 46 mookie August 6, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    StarM is just relentless in feeding my annoyance of them. Just when I can let it slide with them whoring out binnie to Japanese Fanclub exclusive events all of 2007 (and no substantial work), now they have to go get some random publicity leaking this out.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to read Her Highness asking for an autograph, but just coz she’s royalty did not make this newsworthy. What set her apart from all the other ‘commoner’ fans?

    To Noire: Yes Miss SHK is more famous and more experienced, but for each role and each project there are differences. I think Miss SHK and her fans better focus on her role and doing her best acting job to date rather than repeating old pairings. There are many way more experienced actresses playing terrific roles as moms or older mesmerising strong ladies with way younger brilliant actors and still acting sparks will fly if they have the acting chops befitting the role.

    And I’ve never considered LBH, SSH or WB same type of actors other than they were past costars of Miss SHK. They have very drastic different acting styles and aura.

  47. 47 tamu August 6, 2008 at 6:55 pm

    Agree to mookie…….

    “Pork Promotor” ? Now, PopSeoul you out of the line….

  48. 48 noire August 6, 2008 at 7:01 pm

    haha, “repeating old pairings” doesn’t mean repeating the same image of the past!

    “There are many way more experienced actresses playing terrific roles as moms or older mesmerising strong ladies with way younger brilliant actors and still acting sparks will fly if they have the acting chops befitting the role.”

    ->Pls name who. Just look back some results of some dramas where some more experienced and actresses co-starred with young actors of new generation: Sad sonate; smile again…

    “they were past costars of Miss SHK. They have very drastic different acting styles and aura.”
    ->That’s why they match SHK.

    Okie, let’see if HB can be the second Bi after FH.

  49. 49 ♥이시아~ August 6, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    OMG.. HOT as always… HyunBin.~ cool~

  50. 50 savin August 6, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    princess’ brother, Shaikh Hamdan is far more hot than Hyun Bin!!!lol

    nwey @ kuki, no need of formalities in phrases as such when you speak of dubai it speaks for the country itself and vice versa

  51. 51 liz August 6, 2008 at 8:17 pm

    “Okie, let’see if HB can be the second Bi after FH.”

    omg, people are still up and crazed about shk and rain?? a.k.a. “bikyo” >_<
    how many people are still hoping and fantasizing that they’re a real couple???
    it’s been how many years already!

    i’m not sure if hyun-bin can match the “chemistry” that “bikyo” had in full house… but that won’t mean he’s not a good actor.

  52. 52 eli August 6, 2008 at 8:22 pm

    lol apparently the princess loves DBSK too<3

  53. 53 noire August 6, 2008 at 8:36 pm

    Oopps, don’t misunderstand me.

    I am not Bi’s fan. And I don’t expect SHK and Bi a real couple at all. And I don’t mean HB is a bad actor either. I said so just cos I am feeling the new drama will be another comedy again, right?

    Okie, just my view. Hope I am wrong ~~.

  54. 54 sonaturelle August 6, 2008 at 10:16 pm

    I would want him to be my Prince too. She has good taste lol

  55. 55 yoomi August 6, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    my gosh!!!!
    i love this man!!!
    hahaha he is super cool in the movie “MILLIONAIRES FIRST LOVE” *not to mention the soiundtrack was sung by my papables DBSK*

    well im not surprise at all!
    he deserves it!!

  56. 56 avionne August 6, 2008 at 11:53 pm

    He is gorgeous..I would want him to by my prince too..He looks so calm and adorable..I hope the princess is pretty because if not..she’s wasting his time.

  57. 57 Nana August 7, 2008 at 12:41 am

  58. 58 Mango August 7, 2008 at 1:26 am

    Hey i am from Dubai ^^…. you can watch her today in the china olompic games …. she will present UAE on olympics … she is so down to earth and she is different from the other princess coz no one of our princess show their photo to media…

  59. 59 nisha August 7, 2008 at 2:24 am

    seriously popseoul was this really news worthy so cares if she wants an autograph…

  60. 60 E.C August 7, 2008 at 2:36 am

    Haha
    Wow, the princess is lucky to get HyunBin’s autograph, if not the other way around.

    But I have to say he looks HOT in this picture—the perfect
    prince, don’tcha think?

  61. 61 Dovey August 7, 2008 at 4:15 am

    LoL, how cute.

  62. 62 SARA August 7, 2008 at 7:01 am

    her brothers r much much much beautiful than her
    but she is so humble ^^
    if i were her i would invite him , DBSK, Bi rain, LJK,SUJU,WonderGirls,Big Bang,Shinwha,Battle,SS501,Danial looool that would be a party

  63. 63 naca August 7, 2008 at 9:28 am

    no words 2 describe…..

  64. 64 R. Kelly August 7, 2008 at 10:34 am

    So besides popping out of a rich woman’s vagina what do princesses do?

    If I was a Hyun Bin fan of more modest means I would be offended, because Star M is basically saying that because a woman is born a princess she is more important then other fans.

  65. 65 mookie August 7, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    noire it’s really hard not to ‘misunderstand’ u so to speak, but frankly I think we all got your drift.

    Experience doesnt equate to brilliance and I didnt know what is sad sonate, I do not watch drama by artists I dun find talented enough. Sorry for my ignorance

    Since you asked me to name names, I’ll offer one, though it’s so off topic: Oh Yun Soo, she was mom of Jumong and she’s currently in La Dolce Vita.

    And I dun think Jeon Do Yeon will be ’sadden’ by working for a writer Noh in any role since she’ll just excel in anything. It dumbfounded me when u sad Miss SHK will be sadden by it.

    If we just should repeat same actors and actresses in difference characters, then I do think we only need one or two actresses and actors, and sadly many of you favs may not make it.

    And you lost me when you r agreeing that those actors u mentioned that ’should’ be paired with miss SHK r drastically diff yet perfect match with miss SHK. Are you trying to hint on Miss Song being versatile? Just wondering.

  66. 66 fraulein August 7, 2008 at 5:12 pm

    I agree with Cherrybomb. And I think of all the links /pics posted, the one Cherrybomb posted is the correct one.

    The statement about ” a favorite korean actor ” was probably said at one of the press cons.

    Oh my, she’s an athlete. A taekwondo one at that.

  67. 67 noire August 7, 2008 at 6:40 pm

    Just check the rating of La Dolce vita.
    How many people would realize YDJ is a star if she hadn’t
    received a Palm D’Or ?

    “those actors u mentioned that ’should’ be paired with miss SHK”
    And the one” SHK should be paired with those actors”
    I mean the second.
    There is a diferrence bt the two sentences.

  68. 68 does it really matter?? August 8, 2008 at 12:30 am

    this is funny . what about qatar’s sheikha?
    oh since qatar loose for the olympic game 2016 , hmm no. not necessary. the mighty mighty high richess does not tolerence with asians not even for a hottie. yup wording it : discriminate

  69. 69 DC August 8, 2008 at 1:44 am

    C’mon who can resist this guy? He’s SOoo damn hot in the pic though I still prefer him with short hair. Dang, I wish I could have his autograph.

  70. 70 HATEJJH August 8, 2008 at 4:36 am

    noire, u tried, but still dont make much sense. I still dont know what u r pulling out of your behind on those 2 sentences and what u r hinting on and yapping about SHK this and that in this thread. sheika can beats little miss sq pants with one single finger.

    JDY has ALWAYS been regarded as the best of the best Korean actress for peeps who dun know Full House fr Poop House for years before she got her recognition in Cannes, and fyi she got Prix d’interprétation féminine du Festival de Cannes (Best actress), Palme D’or was only awarded to the best movie.

  71. 71 thecolorpurple80 August 8, 2008 at 9:53 am

    ha ha ha I absolutely agree with cherrybomb: “she’s kinda buff, seems like she could beat up Hyunbin”
    Better watch out Hyunbin!!!

  72. 72 :O August 8, 2008 at 11:14 am

    mine :)
    now that ksw is definitely out of reach.

  73. 73 Maica August 8, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    I wish I was the princess… :D

  74. 74 Ann August 8, 2008 at 1:58 pm

  76. 76 rizzo August 8, 2008 at 9:16 pm

    wow! princess is hot!
    they’d make some really beautiful babies…

  77. 77 mzpakipot August 9, 2008 at 1:25 am

    wow! i didn’t mean to offend any HYUNBINNERS here..but jeez, calm the #$%k down….it’s just my opinion..did he became popular after NNS24? or ireland? or bodyguard?

  78. 78 truth August 15, 2008 at 2:01 pm
