While wife Son Ye-jin was the pretty sister who always treated people to nice meals, husband Hyun Bin was the handsome older brother who didn't want to pay for meals.
On the first broadcast of SBS' "Whenever There's Time," Hyun Bin and Woo Do-hwan appeared as "gap friends" from Disney+'s "Made in Korea 2." The two targeted Anyang's gaps alongside Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok. For the first time in 23 years since his debut in 2003, Hyun Bin made a variety show appearance, drawing attention with his bulked-up physique.
Despite his warm appearance, he became timid in front of games. Although he showed competitive spirit in the first mission of knocking over cans and the second mission of stacking nuts, he shrank endlessly before the production team's five-second countdown. He even said, "I really don't want to challenge," while trembling hands.

The situation was even worse during the lunch meal payment game. After the four enjoyed pork belly and buckwheat noodles, they played a cup-filling water game to determine who would pay for the meal. Hyun Bin exerted all his effort not to lose with surprising concentration, prompting Yoo Yeon-seok to point out, "It seems you really don't want to pay for your brother's meal," which drew laughter from viewers.
That day, Hyun Bin displayed his hidden variety show talents to the fullest, making it seem as though his first variety appearance in 23 years was unnecessary. Even as a top actor, he faced recognition humiliation in front of children fans, causing viewers to burst into laughter.
He also boasted about his exceptional family bonds. When asked about summer vacations, Hyun Bin replied, "I want to travel with my child," drawing attention. When failing a mission, he smiled awkwardly at Yoo Yeon-seok's words: "If we broadcast this later today, you'll watch it with Yejin-nuna. You must succeed before leaving."
This was the moment of rediscovering Hyun Bin, making viewers want to see him more frequently in variety programs going forward.
