In the SBS variety program 'The Gap' aired on September 1, an unusual situation occurred where actor Hyun Bin was asked by elementary school students to take their photos. At the time, Hyun Bin was visiting the Anyang area with Yoo Jae Suk, Yoo Yeon Seok, and Woo Do-hwan, and while the children recognized Yoo Jae Suk and Yoo Yeon Seok, they failed to recognize Hyun Bin and handed him their mobile phone to request a photo.

Even though Yoo Yeon Seok pointed to Hyun Bin and explained that he is the most famous actor, the children showed a puzzled reaction, so Hyun Bin accepted the camera readily and took photos of the children, enduring the blow to his recognition. After the broadcast, the child's mother shared the photos taken by Hyun Bin himself through her SNS, sharing the anecdote of how she was surprised after realizing the photographer's identity later, which drew laughter from netizens.
