On the May 2nd broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘, actor Kim Hee Won boasted about his unexpected friendship with Won Bin.
“Won Bin is very quiet,” he began. “Even when we film, he sits in the corner all alone. He takes his work very seriously.”
“One time we were in the elevator together, and he asked if I wanted to get a cup of coffee,” he continued. “It was about 1 or 2 in the morning, and we talked about acting and work until almost 10 in the morning.”
“He has a lot of passion for acting,” he added. As Won Bin seemed to only express interest in acting, Kim Hee Won revealed, “I asked him if he dated, and he said that he didn’t.”
He then further surprised everyone on set by saying, “I asked if he ever engaged in ‘skinship’ with a woman, and he said he never has.”
If Won Bin really is more interested in acting than dating, this may come as a bit of sad news for 2NE1‘s Dara who selected Won Bin as someone she would like to date.

I can't even~ my love for him.
(Is it weird that his lack of interest in dating makes me love him even more?)

Date: 2012-05-04 01:02 pm (UTC)C'mon he looks like this and he's never had skinship with a woman, this is just stupid. Noone's buying what you're selling.

Date: 2012-05-04 04:28 pm (UTC)and i get gay vibes from won bin, insung and jin mo, too. but i do get gay vibes from a lot of (single) top actors in asia.

Date: 2012-05-04 05:29 pm (UTC)Joo Jin Mo - maybe, I feel like he overcompensates his masculinity sometimes, but I never really got that vibe from him.

Read e-newsworld article and you will have the accurate one.

Date: 2012-05-04 03:01 pm (UTC)that's a really bad translation, they erased all the nuances.
unfortunately, can't post enewsworld's article because of copyrights issues.
I think he dated a lot of women when he was younger, the days he started to live in Seoul and seemed to have a much more socialized life, more freedom etc.

Date: 2012-05-04 05:48 pm (UTC)I don't know what nuances you are talking about. But I think they actually translated it just fine this time..
He said he's never tried to have/never had skinship with a woman before.

Date: 2012-05-04 06:03 pm (UTC)It's that Akp chose obvious articles that didn't put nuances whereas all the other articles put nuances in it.
So basically it's akp who didn't make correct researches, & didn't look around to know if other reports told other things.
Most english articles I've seen translated the articles with nuances.
Enews and Soompi for example.. Except soompi doesn't have any link for the original source and Enews doesn't like int'l fans doing their jobs and spreading the news, so I didn't post them.

Date: 2012-05-04 02:56 pm (UTC)I think the most important is that he has to be ok with himself, who cares about what ppl think tbh.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-04 04:14 pm (UTC)I agree that he should be ok with himself but his family probably would care though. I'm just wondering how people would react to asexuality. Nobody every really gives it much thought that he or anyone might have no interest in sex whatsoever. It's something that is rarely brought up with a celebrity.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-04 05:45 pm (UTC)all the informations I only dare to tell are from himself (itw) or from his friends like this article... I wouldn't speculate about his sexuality (while telling that's because I like him) since I want to know more about him as a person because I'm pretty sure he would dislike it a lot, knowing a bit WB's fandom and story.

Date: 2012-05-04 06:32 pm (UTC)Fine. If a celeb wants to reveal it one day, I also wonder how poeple would react. Althouh I believe in Korea that would be the end of a career.

no subject
Date: 2012-05-05 12:08 pm (UTC)Like, I haven't dated before (not *really*), but it's not because I'm asexual, it's just
my standards are way too high and I blame Won BinI haven't met anyone I'm really interested in yet. :Pno subject
Date: 2012-05-05 01:48 pm (UTC)I felt like I was asexual but I've come to realized I'm more demi-sexual. Normally, guys don't turn me on even if I find them extremely attractive. I don't think 'oh yea I want to hit that'. I have to get to know them and see if I have a connection with them. I need to have romantic feelings for someone for me to start finding them sexually attractive.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-05 02:31 pm (UTC)Yeah I definitely can't be asexual because I would get all up over Won Bin. XD
Although my lack of dating has made most of my relatives speculate that I'm closet gay. Meh. Let them think what they want tbh I couldn't care if I tried.
