Won Bin's Return to Acting: A Look at His Recent Advertisements

Actor Won Bin has recently made headlines by reappearing in advertisements, showcasing his enduring status as a top star. As he continues to be featured in various campaigns, including a recent cosmetics brand, fans are left wondering if he will break his 15-year hiatus from the big screen.

Multiple lifestyle and luxury brands have enlisted Won Bin as their model, reaffirming his strong brand value. Dressed in a white suit, he captivated audiences with his striking visuals and charisma in a brief advertisement.

However, his return to acting has yet to materialize. Since his last film, 'The Man from Nowhere' (아저씨), in 2010, Won Bin has stepped back from the acting scene. Despite receiving significant offers for projects like 'Train to Busan' (부산행), 'Along with the Gods' (신과 함께), and 'The King 2 Hearts' (더 킹 투하츠), he has reportedly declined them all. In 2019, speculation about his retirement arose when a statement requested that he not be referred to as an actor, which his agency later denied as unfounded.

Designer Ji Chun-hee, a close friend of Won Bin, mentioned on a broadcast that it seems he feels burdened rather than unwilling to act, adding that he is still actively watching scripts. Despite his absence from film, Won Bin remains a blue-chip figure in the advertising industry.

In contrast, his wife, Lee Na-young, has been actively participating in various projects. After appearing in the Wavve original series 'Park Ha-kyung's Travel Diary' (박하경 여행기) last year, she is reportedly considering a role in the upcoming drama 'Honor' (아너).

Lee Na-young also shared in an interview with local media that Won Bin is diligently reviewing scripts and has a keen interest in returning to acting, encouraging fans to wait a little longer for his comeback.

With his legendary status still shining brightly in the advertising world, anticipation is building for Won Bin to extend his presence back into film.
