“ Crash Landing in Manila: Hyun Bin Brings His Star Power to Solaire Resort"

The moment I watched Crash Landing on You, I was an instant Hyun Bin fan—hooked not just by his charm, but by the quiet strength and sincerity he brought to every scene. So when news broke that he was partnering with Solaire Resort, it felt like the perfect drama twist we never knew we needed. Manila’s excitement was palpable, and seeing him here in person was like watching a beloved K-drama come to life. The collaboration isn’t just a meeting of star power and luxury; it’s a celebration of the kind of elegance, warmth, and world-class presence that both Hyun Bin and Solaire embody.

Global Korean superstar Hyun Bin has officially touched down in the Philippines for the first time—and he’s doing it in true world-class style, with Solaire Resort Entertainment City in ParaƱaque as his luxurious home base.


As part of his much-anticipated visit, Hyun Bin attended a press conference where he shared his impressions of the Philippines—and gave glowing praise to the warmth of the Filipino people, the vibrant energy of Manila, and the impeccable hospitality he experienced during his stay. “From the moment I arrived, everyone has been so warm and welcoming,” he said. “I’ve heard many good things about Manila but experiencing it for myself — it’s even more wonderful than I expected.”

Solaire Resort Entertainment City, the Philippines’ first integrated resort, is known for offering a seamless blend of luxury, entertainment, and Filipino hospitality. With over 800 rooms and suites boasting panoramic views of the Manila Bay or the city skyline, the resort is a haven of comfort and sophistication. The resort is also home to an impressive lineup of 18 dining concepts, ranging from elevated Filipino cuisine to award-winning international fare—making it a true destination for discerning travelers.

Hyun Bin described his stay as serene and memorable, highlighting the elegant accommodations and attention to detail that made it easy for him to relax and recharge. “The hotel is very beautiful,” he noted. “One thing that really stood out to me is the incredible view from my room—especially during sunset. It’s truly breathtaking... The bed is so soft and comfortable, and the whole room feels very calm and private—perfect for recharging after a busy schedule.”

 

But beyond the luxurious amenities, it was the people who left the deepest impression on him. “What makes the experience even more special is the warm hospitality—especially from the staff at Solaire Resort —who go above and beyond to make me feel at ease. Their kindness and attentiveness truly make me feel at home here.”

Hyun Bin also shared his excitement about sampling Filipino food, particularly the iconic adobo—a dish that had been highly recommended by his Korean friends who previously visited the country. “It was very delicious—rich, flavorful, and definitely something I’d like to try again,” he said. “I’m looking forward to tasting more of the local dishes while I’m here.”

 

Aside from his stay, the actor also took time to meet lucky raffle-winning fans at a special fan event—many of whom have followed his career for years. “It’s very touching. Meeting my fans here in person and feeling their energy, their smiles, and hearing their cheers—it’s truly overwhelming, in a good way,” he said. “Their support, even from so far away, has always meant so much to me.”

 

When asked what continues to fuel his passion as an actor, Hyun Bin emphasized his drive to grow and take on new challenges. “Each project teaches me something new about life and emotion. I’m preparing for my next project now—can’t share much yet, but I’m excited for fans to see a new side of me soon.”




As Solaire Entertainment City plays host to this unforgettable visit, the property’s expansion into Solaire Resort North—a newly opened luxury development in Quezon City—further cements its position as a premier hospitality brand in the Philippines. Designed for both leisure and business travelers in the north of Metro Manila, Solaire North brings the signature warmth and world-class standards of Solaire Resort to a whole new location.

 

Hyun Bin’s visit marks a momentous milestone not only for his Filipino fans, but also for Solaire Resort, as it continues to deliver extraordinary experiences fit for global icons—proving once again that Filipino hospitality is second to none.
