Won Bin was born and raised in a hamlet in the north of Jeongseon in Gangwon-do, South Korea. He is the youngest of five siblings, with one older brother and three older sisters. His father used to work in a mine and his mother worked in the farm (both retired now).

Like other guys living in mountaineous regions, Won Bin spent most of his time playing around with friends in the mountains and rivers, and came back home at sunset with black and dusty face. But Won Bin was more quiet than other guys. His shy and introspective character hasn’t changed even after he grew up.

In November 1995, a cable TV station recruited new actors and Won Bin’s application was accepted. He started to take acting classes at the TV station and appeared in several dramas. In December 1995, he signed contract with a talent agency and continued to take acting classes arranged by the agency.

Won Bin currently starred in a movie, ‘Guns and Talks’ and a drama series: ‘Friends’. His other credits include ‘Propose’ 1997; ‘Our Story’ 1997; ‘Love me, please’ 1999; ‘Ready go’ 1999; ‘Kkogi’ 2000; ‘Endless Love’ 2000.
