Won Bin suddenly stopped acting after promoting the movie 'The Man from Nowhere' in 2010 and the public can only see him through TV commercials and pictures, not any acting projects.
In the Korean entertainment industry, there is one actor whose name may not be well known to the new generation of Korean drama lovers. Even though he has starred in many popular dramas and films in the past, Won Bin has instead chosen to be on hiatus for approximately 13 years since his last film "The Man from Nowhere" in 2010.
Won Bin suddenly stopped acting after promoting "The Man from Nowhere". Now the public can only see him through TV commercials and pictures, not any acting projects. But on the other hand, his wife, who is also an actress, Lee Na Young, prefers to stay active in her activities.
Won Bin and Lee Na Young married in 2015. After marriage, Lee Na Young starred in the films "Sad Scene" and "Beautiful Days". In 2019, the mother of one returned to the small screen for the first time in 9 years since "The Fugitive: Plan B" through "Romance is Bonus Book" and this year, will meet viewers through the web series “Park Ha Kyung's Travel Journal” .
Although Lee Na Young is also on hiatus to marry, give birth, and raise children, the actress is still more active than her husband Won Bin and can often be seen at airports and attending public events. As soon as the news about Lee Na Young's comeback and his latest status was reported, netizens immediately mentioned Won Bin. While fans are raising hopes for Won Bin's return, many people are questioning why Won Bin isn't doing anything when his wife is so active.
Lee Na Young once talked about Won Bin's hiatus. When asked about Won Bin in an interview for the movie “Beautiful Days,” the actress said, “I don't know why he hasn't done any projects. I think he wanted to tell audiences a human story but there weren't many scenarios of that genre."
Won Bin's very long hiatus has also made netizens comment that maybe today's fans of Korean dramas and films don't know who he is. Even though the name Won Bin will still be considered one of the class A actors who are expected to be willing to make a comeback to greet their fans with a new project. (wk/aiss)
