On May 16, a lifestyle service platform announced that actor Won Bin has been selected as its new exclusive brand model.
In the newly released advertisement, Won Bin showcases his timeless charisma in a sleek black suit, reflecting his sculpted looks and unmatched elegance. The brand praised his luxurious and trustworthy image, stating it aligns perfectly with their vision.
Notably, this marks another instance of Won Bin returning to the public eye through advertising rather than a new acting endeavor.
Once a cultural icon in the early 2000s, headlining numerous dramas and films, Won Bin has remained largely absent from the acting scene since his 2010 film, The Man from Nowhere. For the past 15 years, he has rarely been seen publicly, communicating with fans primarily via advertisements.
Recently, he attended the funeral of actress Kim Sae Ron, his co-star from The Man from Nowhere, drawing media attention and concerns from fans.
The most promising news regarding his potential comeback came from his wife, actress Lee Na Young, who mentioned in an interview that he has been diligently reading scripts and urged fans to wait just a little longer.
Despite the anticipation, the latest update on Won Bin remains centered around his new commercial rather than a project in film or television.
Fashion designer Ji Chun Hee, featured on a recent episode of KBS2’s Boss in the Mirror, noted that while Lee Na Young has become even more beautiful, Won Bin appears more handsome, drawing attention to the couple’s famously private life.
While Won Bin continues to thrive in the advertising world, fans remain hopeful for a long-awaited return to the screen.
