'Actor Won Bin has not appeared in any work for 16 years since the film "The Man from Nowhere" (2010). Although he remains an eternal top star, Won Bin, who cannot be seen on either the big screen or television, is like a "unicorn" even to reporters in their 10s. Amid this, senior actor Park Geun-hyung expressed regret over Won Bin's recent activities.

'In the 31st episode of MBN's "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," which aired on the 27th, actors Park Geun-hyung and musical performer Kai appeared as guests. On that day, Kim Ju-ha asked Park Geun-hyung about an anecdote in which he had scolded actors Kim Nam-joo and Won Bin.

'Park Geun-hyung revealed that he first met Won Bin while working together on the drama "Kkokji" (2000). Recalling that Won Bin came with long hair and read his lines with unclear pronunciation, Park remembered shouting, "What are you doing? Come back after cutting your hair." Park added, "When I saw him next time, he had neatly cut his hair and had practiced his pronunciation carefully. So I praised him, saying, 'You can do it, so why didn't you?' He said, 'After that, Won Bin became a top actor. I felt proud thinking that I had been of some help at the time.'"

'Along with this, Park Geun-hyung mentioned Won Bin's recent situation of not working since "The Man from Nowhere" in 2010, expressing his frustration: "Even though I kept telling you that you should act and work because you are the kind of person who should be an actor, you have not acted for a long time." In response, MC Kim Ju-ha said, "I am on friendly terms with Won Bin. When I asked him why he hasn't worked since "The Man from Nowhere," he said that no offers have come in, possibly because his image from the film is too strong. He also mentioned that he is still growing his hair because he doesn't know what roles might come his way."

'Upon hearing this, Park Geun-hyung said, "That won't do. If you have taken on a strong image, you should challenge another strong role," expressing his regret.

'Won Bin has not appeared in any work since "The Man from Nowhere" and is currently active only as a commercial model. Won Bin married actress Lee Na-young in 2015 and had a son that same year. His wife, Lee Na-young, is actively working as an actress.

'As senior actor Park Geun-hyung said, Won Bin, who is synonymous with being a skilled and handsome actor, has become an actor known only by name to the public due to his 16-year hiatus. Just as Park Geun-hyung's sharp words were tinged with regret, we hope that he will return not as "The Man from Nowhere" Won Bin, but as a new actor.'
