Broadcaster Shin Dong-yeop has recently shared an anecdote about seeing actor Won Bin in person, sparking widespread interest.

A video titled 'The Sisters Who Came to Spill, Kim Sung-ryung, Ha Ji-won, Jang Young-ran [Jjanhanhyung EP.123]' was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhanhyung Shin Dong-yeop' on the 15th.

During the show, while introducing a PPL (product placement) for an advertisement brand, Shin Dong-yeop spoke about Won Bin, who is the model for that brand.

He revealed, 'I actually saw Won Bin recently by chance. I greeted him, and he was incredibly, extraordinarily handsome,' adding, 'His face was so small. He’s still unbelievably handsome,' unable to hide his admiration.

Comedian Jung Ho-chul, who was also present, expressed his surprise, saying, 'This is the first time I've heard you bragging about actually seeing a celebrity like this.'

Meanwhile, Won Bin has not engaged in acting activities since the release of the movie 'The Man from Nowhere' in August 2010. He has been focusing solely on commercial work for 15 years, occasionally showing his face through recent photos. In 2015, he married fellow actor Lee Na-young and became a father to their son seven months later.

Korean netizens reacted enthusiastically to Shin Dong-yeop's account, with comments like "Proves Won Bin's legendary visuals in person," "If he looks that good in photos, imagine him in real life!", and "It's nice to hear about him after so long."
