Won Bin was asked by Knet to remove the actor's label because he hasn't acted in more than 10 years

Many people criticized and asked Won Bin to announce his retirement because "there is no one who has only acted in advertisements and attended events for 10 years and still considers himself an actor".

In Korea, Won Bin is known as "Saint Bin". The audience of kimchi praised the actor with a handsome face "no one can pass", mature acting skills, and a careful and profound personality.

But since The Man from Nowhere (2010), "Saint Bin" has more than 10 years without acting. Even, many people criticized and asked Won Bin to announce his retirement because "no one in 10 years only acted in advertisements and attended events and still recognized himself as an actor".

Recently, an article about actor Won Bin on Instagram's Insight account suddenly became extremely hot. The article was accompanied by the title, "6 legendary movies and TV shows that Won Bin rejected during his 11-year hiatus from acting."

Won Bin debuted in 1997 through the movie Propos. With his handsome appearance and impressive acting, the male star caught the eye of top filmmakers. Later, he became an Asian icon after appearing in the movie Autumn in My Heart, collaborating with Song Hye Kyo and Song Seung Hun.

Not only stopping as a drama actor, Won Bin made a big leap when participating in cult movies, including Guns & Talks (2001), Taegukgi (2004), My Brother (2004), Mother (2009) and "temporarily" her career in the movie The Man from Nowhere (2010).

Since then, Won Bin has withdrawn from the entertainment industry despite receiving many offers for films that "storm" Asia. Won Bin was "chosen to send gold" for the blockbuster blockbuster "Challenge of the Gods" as the charismatic Kangrim. However, after thinking many times, he felt the character was not suitable for him and actor Ha Jung Woo replaced him.

In addition, Won Bin was chosen to appear in the KBS2 drama "Descendants of the Sun" as a Special Forces Captain. The production team thought that the uniform suits him very well. However, it is Won Bin who really decides. Due to the nature of a soldier who needs to shave his head, film overseas or pre-record 100%, Won Bin refused. At that time, the actor wanted to be with his wife and children. In the end, Song Joong Ki was cast in this role.

Won Bin was also invited to play the role of Seok Woo played by Gong Yoo in Train to Busan. However, the reason he refused was that the role was not prominent enough in the plot even though it was the main character. In particular, he was also invited to appear in the movies The Battleship Island, The King, and the TV series That Winter the Wind Blows.

Netizens commented that:

- Won Bin has earned enough money to spend lavishly until the day he leaves this world, I think he doesn't want to act anymore.

- How do you make excuses like that?

- It's hard to call Won Bin an actor... he's just an advertisement model.

- I can understand why Won Bin is hesitant to return to the screen. He has a very critical eye

- Oh Won Bin is an actor? Thought he was an advertising star.

- I don't understand why people make fun of Won Bin. He's old and has a family to take care of, maybe he doesn't want to act anymore

- An actor should act. Watching him make money through ads no longer makes him popular.

- I don't understand why people are so excited about Won Bin. Did he do anything wrong? In his position, shouldn't I be careful with the movies or TV shows I choose so as not to be blurred like other projects.

- Or maybe Won Bin was pressured to choose good works from his hit streak.

A part of Korean netizens is overly criticized for Won Bin? They don't understand what crime Won Bin has committed to deserve such malicious comments. The fact that Won Bin considered and did not participate in acting may be because he feels pressured, wondering if the next project can be as successful as before.
