Won Bin Greets Fans with Updates, Not New Roles: Real Estate Ventures and Personal Life in Focus

Actor Won Bin has once again reached out to fans not through a new project, but with updates on his life.

Won Bin, known for his acting prowess, has left fans yearning for more as his filmography has remained stagnant. Since the release of the 2010 film 'The Man from Nowhere,' he has not taken on any new acting roles, instead staying in the public eye through advertisements for the past 15 years.

Last year, he stepped down from a coffee brand advertisement he had modeled for over 16 years. In January, he was announced as the new face of a cosmetics brand, captivating audiences with his striking visuals in the ad campaign.



On June 15, news broke that the value of a building in Cheongdam-dong, jointly purchased by Won Bin and his wife, actress Lee Na-young, had increased by approximately KRW 28.7 billion (approx. $21.5 million USD).

In February 2018, the couple acquired a building behind the luxury street in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for KRW 14.5 billion. The building, dating back to 1992, spans from two basement levels to five above-ground floors.

Located just a six-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, the building reportedly houses upscale restaurants. Its current value is estimated at KRW 43.2 billion, marking a KRW 28.7 billion increase since purchase. This estimate is based on an expected price per square meter of KRW 2 million.

Additionally, Won Bin owns a building in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, valued at KRW 6.9 billion, and another in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, worth KRW 9.5 billion, both under his name.

In 2015, Won Bin married actress Lee Na-young, and they have a son born in December of the same year. Recently, he was reported to have attended the memorial service for Kim Sae-ron, his co-star from 'The Man from Nowhere,' who passed away.
