The star date with Won Bin....



Well..I was one of those who used to wonder, whats so great about Won Bin, that he is often linked as very good looking man in korean movie industry . I had this impression after watchibng Autumn in my heart. I mean, yes , he is kinda cute and introduce the term " flower boy" in korean industry, but there is so many good looking man in korea entertainment industry.. However, as time goes by, I changed my mind about this man. I mean, Won Bin has a charm that is so unique and he can just attract you, without you even realizing it.

A great actor, shy and yet so charming in his own way..Does man like this exist too? He made me wonder.

He first gained wide popularity in 2000 after starring in the television drama Autumn in My Heart and has since gained critical acclaim for his performances in the films Taegukgi, Mother and The Man from Nowhere.

He is well known for his shy, introspective, and quiet, character traits that followed him thru..
Won was appointed as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador of the Korean Committee on September 6, 2007. He has participated in various programs and charity events in Korea for UNICEF from that time on, and has appeared in several promotional videos.






In April 2008, Won finally confirmed that his re-debut film would be Mother directed by Bong Joon-ho. Filming started in September 2008 and finished in February 2009. The film was selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. He walked the red carpet at the film's world premiere on May 16, 2009 in the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. This was followed by The Man from Nowhere released in August 2010.



Is it too much to ask for him to return to drama land instead of sailing away to either film land? I know he’s probably going to be making films for a good long while (as well he should, of course), but I’m just greedy like that....

I really miss looking at his charming face on big screen..but for those who wish to see him more, do remember that he is still the prince of CF in Korea .
