Hyun Bin Denies Chinese Contract Rumors

Hyun Bin is currently negotiating a new contract, but he denies rumors that he is receiving numerous offers or "love calls" from China. 

A representative for his agency, O& Entertainment, confirmed that he is currently in the midst of contract negotiation, in a statement provided to Star News. 

"There are rumors that Hyun Bin received love calls and a hefty offer from a Chinese company," said the spokesperson. "This contract was not received by the agency nor are we in [the midst] of talks." 

The agency representative went on to note that the exclusive agency contract that currently binds the popular star is set to expire in December 2015. 

"This is currently being discussed by Hyun Bin's agency and the contract negotiations are factoring the possibility of renewal," said the designated agent. 

Reports regarding his exclusive contract follow recent news that he was cast opposite Girls' Generation's Yoona and Yoo Hae Jin, in a 2016 action film that is tentatively titled, "Cooperation." 

Hyun followed the completion of his mandatory military service with his portrayal of King Jeongjo in the 2014 period film, "The Fatal Encounter." In 2015, he returned to drama in the psychological romantic comedy, "Jekyll, Hyde, and Me," which was met with mixed reception, as it aired simultaneously against the hit drama, "Kill Me, Heal Me." 

The 33-year-old actor won the hearts of drama viewers as Hyun Jin Heon in the 2005 MBC series, "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon." He followed the success of the Hallyu hit with his iconic role as a track suit clad heir in "Secret Garden."
