Won Bin's return to acting has been a subject of interest for close to a decade. The Man from Nowhere was such a critically acclaimed film that earned him several acting awards from the Blue Dragon Film Awards, Buil Film Festival, and Film Journalists Association Annual Film Awards. He was even nominated at the prestigious Baeksang Art Awards for his role in 2011.
It came as no surprise that fans were anticipating Won Bin's next project after starring in a string of critically acclaimed films. Before The Man from Nowhere, the actor also starred in Bong Joon Ho's Mother.
Bong Joon Ho, in an interview, said that he looked forward to seeing Won Bin in a new role because he believed he was a good actor who has not yet been given his due.
Last year, it was reported that Won Bin was not deliberately putting off his comeback. A source said that Won Bin has been looking at scripts the whole time to find the right project for him. However, because the actor was very specific with his reviews, he has rejected one role after another, Koreaboo reported.
In 2016, Won Bin came close to signing for his comeback for the Korean remake of the English film Still Life, but he ended up backing out of the project because the script did not meet his tastes. It was reported that the production was still trying to revise the material to meet his standards.
His wife, Lee Na Young said that her husband has been wanting to make a comeback for some time but he has been looking for a film that talks about humanism and there are not many scripts like that.
