Rookie Actress Han Ga-eul Revealed to Be Actor Won Bin's Niece, Sparking 'Acting Family' Buzz

Rookie actress Han Ga-eul is capturing significant attention as it has been revealed she is the niece of top South Korean actor Won Bin.

On the 21st, a representative from Han Ga-eul's agency, Story J Company, officially confirmed to OSEN, "Actress Han Ga-eul is indeed actress Won Bin's niece."

Han Ga-eul made her acting debut in 2022 through her appearance in the music video for singer Nam Young-joo's song 'Again, Dream.' During her debut, she showcased a bright and charming persona, creating great synergy with singer-actor Seo In-guk, who produced and directed the music video.

Fueled by this connection, Han Ga-eul is currently active under an exclusive contract with Story J Company, the same agency as Seo In-guk. She is also currently appearing in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Let's Go to the Moon.'

Amidst this, the revelation that Han Ga-eul is Won Bin's niece has become a major topic of conversation. Han Ga-eul is the daughter of Won Bin's older sister and is 25 years old, with her birth name being Hwang Ga-eul.

The fact that her family ties remained undisclosed for four years since her debut is interpreted as Han Ga-eul's desire to establish her presence as an actress in her own right, prior to leveraging the fame associated with being Won Bin's niece. It's reported that even within the agency, this fact was only recently discovered.

Especially with Won Bin, who married actress Lee Na-young in 2015 and is beloved as one of the entertainment industry's top power couples, the emergence of his niece, Han Ga-eul, further amplifies anticipation for the creation of a new 'acting family.'

Netizens are reacting positively to the news, with comments like, "A family guaranteed to have acting talent just by hearing their names," "Her visuals are already a stamp of approval, if she acts well too, it'll be a hit," and "Looking forward to her acting activities even more now."
