Okay, fellow fans—this made my day. After a 15-year break from acting, Won Bin quietly reappeared not on the big screen but in an advertisement, and yes, he still has that legendary presence.
Restaurant chain Shabu20 recently posted photos and clips of Won Bin’s new ad, even captioning him “God Won Bin.” The shots highlight his signature expression and mysterious image that fans instantly recognized. Naturally, the post sparked a lot of buzz—because when Won Bin shows up, the internet notices.
Quick facts straight from the update:
- Won Bin’s last film role was in The Man From Nowhere (2010), so he hasn’t acted in a drama or film in years.
- Brands still chase him—his unique image keeps him at the top of the advertising world and commanding high modeling fees.
- At a Taegukgi 20th anniversary press event, the director joked that it’s been years since they last contacted him and even his phone number has changed—classic Won Bin-level mystery.
Side note for anyone wondering about his personal life: his wife, actress Lee Na-young, remains active in the industry. For now, it looks like we’ll keep seeing Won Bin in high-profile ads even if a movie comeback remains uncertain.
Short, sweet, and very Won Bin. Fingers crossed we get another surprise—whether it’s an ad drop or, dare I hope, a film announcement someday.
