Uncle Won Bin is Doing Well! Han Ga-eul Shares Update Amidst Kimchi Making
Actress Han Ga-eul has garnered attention by sharing an update on her uncle, actor Won Bin, during a YouTube broadcast.
The latest episode of the YouTube channel 'Si-eon's Cool,' released on the 14th, featured Lee Si-eon, Han Ga-eul, webtoon artist and entertainer Kian84, and comedian Lee Guk-joo making kimchi.
During their conversation, Kian84 unexpectedly asked Han Ga-eul about Won Bin's current situation. Han Ga-eul responded, "He's doing well." She added, "It's not bothersome to get these questions, but I actually don't receive them that often."
Lee Guk-joo, who was unaware of their relationship, reacted with surprise. Han Ga-eul then explained, "My uncle is Won Bin," stunning everyone present.
Kian84 sparked further excitement by mentioning the possibility of Won Bin appearing on YouTube, and Lee Guk-joo also enthusiastically suggested her own channel.
Previously, in October, Han Ga-eul's agency, Story J Company, confirmed that she and Won Bin are related as third cousins, with Han Ga-eul being the daughter of Won Bin's older sister.
Han Ga-eul made her entertainment debut in 2022 with an appearance in Nam Young-joo's music video 'Again, Dream,' and her family connection came to light afterward. It's reported that Won Bin did not provide any assistance during her debut process.
Won Bin debuted in 1997 with the KBS2 drama 'Propose' and starred in hit works like 'Autumn in My Heart,' 'All About Eve,' and films such as 'Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War,' 'My Brother,' and 'Mother.' After a hiatus from acting following the 2010 film 'The Man from Nowhere,' he currently appears in commercials.
Won Bin married actress Lee Na-young in May 2015 and has a son. Despite his long break from projects, his star power, capable of drawing attention with just a brief update, remains potent.
Netizens reacted positively to the news, commenting, "Wow, I didn't know he was her uncle," "Thanks for the update on Won Bin, I was curious," and "Kian84's sense is the best lol."
