In recent days, the scandal of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron has attracted public attention.
Many audiences look back at the films Kim Sae Ron starred in when he was young, and admire the relationship between the late actor and actor Won Bin.
Won Bin and Kim Sae Ron co-starred in "The Man from Nowhere" - a hit film in 2010. At that time, Sae Ron was 10 years old, playing the role of a drug addict's mother.
Coincidentally, this is also Won Bin's last work before he almost left his acting career and disappeared from the screen.
According to Soompi, Won Bin used to be a heavy smoker, but he decided to quit because he had to work a lot with his child actors, afraid that Sae Ron would inhale cigarette smoke.
On February 17, upon hearing the news of Kim Sae Ron's passing, Won Bin was also one of the first Korean stars to visit Seoul Asan Medical Center.
Won Bin appeared at the funeral early, his face was clearly sad, his eyes red. Won Bin's wife - actress Lee Na Young, did not come to visit but also sent a wreath of condolences.
10 years since the collaboration, Won Bin has been in hiding for a long time, while Sae Ron has matured. Won Bin's affection for his former co-star touched the audience.
Meanwhile, the online community questioned Kim Soo Hyun's failure to express condolences and visit those who have been with him for a long time.
Won Bin debuted in 1997 with the drama "Proposal" and has continuously achieved box office success with films such as "Taegukgi", "Mother", "The Man from Nowhere" and many other films.
After appearing in "The Man from Nowhere" in 2010, Won Bin has stopped his acting career for 15 years.
His wife, actress Lee Na Young, shared in 2023: "Won Bin is carefully reviewing the scripts. He is interested in a number of projects and is actively looking for many different types of scripts. Mr. Won Bin will return soon, please wait for everyone".
After getting married in 2015, Won Bin and Lee Na Young lived together in the countryside for a while. In 2019, the couple moved to Seoul. There are many rumors that Won Bin has retired after many years of not being active in acting, but the actor's management company has denied it.
