Early life and education
Won is the youngest child of a family of five. Mother is a farmer, and mother is a miner. When he was young, he often spent time outdoors, traveling in mountains and rivers, but despite having friends in his small town, he was very introverted and quiet. However, he showed a lot of talent in sports activities and was encouraged to learn taekwondo. This move proved to be a success, because he obtained a black belt after years of craft training.
He didn’t regard himself as an actor in the beginning, but actually dreamed of becoming a car mechanic because he became more and more interested in cars. He studied auto mechanics and maintenance in a high school that focused on mechanics.
In his last year of high school in 1995, he saw an advertisement for a cable TV station that was auditioning for aspiring actors. He was very successful and participated in a performance course sponsored by the radio station and signed a contract with a talent agency.
The beginning of a career
In 1997, Bin appeared on the screen for the first time in the movie “Proposal” and played a supporting role in it. In the second year, he participated in the “Ready Go!” This showed the improvement of his abilities. However, he then suspended his performance and entered the Baekje Academy of Art to improve his performance. In 1999, he returned to the screen in the movie “Single Stick” and played the leading role in it. His performance in the movie began to build his reputation as a talented actor.
In 2000, he starred in the movie “Tough Guy’s Love”, and then made a major breakthrough in “Autumn in My Heart”-the play co-starred with Song Hye Kyo and Song Seung Heon. The TV series “Endless Love” is considered to be the pioneer of Korean dramas. It is very popular in China, and its reputation spread to other parts of Asia. Many people think that the show is the beginning of Hallyu, or the influence of South Korea on popular culture in other parts of the world.

The show elevated his status to a top star, and then he participated in the Japanese co-produced “Friends”.
Internationally recognized and recent projects
After starring in several Korean movies such as “My Brother” and “Gunfight”, Won Bin starred in the movie “Tai Chi Ki”, playing the role of his younger brother. The film was a success in both critics and business, becoming the best-selling Korean film that year, and being exhibited internationally, further enhancing his popularity.
However, he did not participate in any performance projects afterwards because he had to complete compulsory military service. He completed his postgraduate studies at Yongin University and then was stationed in the Demilitarized Zone of North Korea. After one year of service, he was injured and dismissed from his post; he lay down for a while because he had to recover from the injury.
In 2007, he made his first public appearance at UNICEF and was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador of the Korean Committee.
Then he announced that his next film was “Mother”, which aired at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. In 2010, he participated in the highest-grossing film “The Man with Nowhere to Go” that year, which was also released in the United States. This film is his last appearance, because he has not taken on any performance projects since then.
personal life
Yuan Bin started dating actress Li Naying in 2012-the two met when they worked at the same agency two years ago.
The media only noticed their relationship a year after they started dating. They held a private wedding in Yuan’s hometown in 2015. Some time later, their agency issued a press release announcing that the couple would have children.
He has received increasing attention in recent months because he has been considering returning to the show business, even though he is still very picky about the script. During this period, he often worked as a model and endorsement, stayed active and communicated with fans in activities.
