Korean actor Won Bin has returned to the public eye with a new commercial, but fans are still hoping for his long-awaited return to acting. On May 16, the lifestyle service platform Ajeongdang announced him as their new exclusive model.
In the ad, Won Bin wears a sleek black suit, showcasing his timeless charm. The brand praised his luxurious and trustworthy image, saying it matches their vision perfectly. However, this marks another endorsement deal rather than an acting project.
Won Bin has been absent from acting since his last film, The Man from Nowhere (2010). Despite being a top star in the 2000s, he has only appeared in commercials for the past 15 years. His rare public appearances, like attending the funeral of his former co-star Kim Sae Ron, have kept fans curious about his next move.
His wife, actress Lee Na Young, gave fans hope in a recent interview. She said, “He is reading scripts diligently. Please wait just a little longer.” This comment sparked excitement, but no official acting comeback has been confirmed yet.
Fashion designer Ji Chun Hee also mentioned the couple on a TV show, saying both Won Bin and Lee Na Young have become even more attractive over time. Despite the praise, fans are still waiting for Won Bin to return to the screen.
Ajeongdang, the platform he now endorses, offers services like internet subscriptions, appliance rentals, and real estate. The company highlighted Won Binโs appeal, saying his image fits their premium brand identity.
Won Bin was previously the face of a coffee brand for 16 years before ending that contract last year. His agency has stated that he is carefully considering his next project, but no details have been revealed.
Fans continue to express their hopes online, with many saying they miss seeing him in films and dramas. Some wonder if his commercial work means he is easing back into the industry before a full comeback.
