1. 10asia Editor Park Eun Ha: "When he catches you off guard with a dumb little smile looking like a hyung you'd see around the neighborhood.. or look at you and exclaim, 'This question is too hard!' like a junior high school student.. This man manages to shake your heart."
2. Upon finding out that he was sitting next to a blind audience member who expressed a wish to be able to see his face, he guided her hands to his face without hesitation.
3. A person spotted Won Bin in his hometown talking to a random grandma on the street. The grandma, who seemed mentally ill, kept repeating what she was saying to him, but Won Bin would respond each time with a smile, asking back, "Oh, is that so? That must've made you so happy~"
4. Someone was walking the street when they spotted Won Bin in front of a bunch of trash bags. Upon closer inspection, they found that he was talking to something... a street cat. "Come here, oppa will give you food~~"
5. Staff often say that he is extremely shy when you first meet him. He'll greet them with a bow and leave it at that... but once a month passes and he gets used to you, he'll come up to you and start playing jokes. He'll playfully ask to be allowed to sleep in the middle of filming, and once he even stuck his lips out in playful frustration when a staff refused to buy him dinner. It's little things like this that make people feel closer to him and give the impression that he was raised with the utmost respect for manners.
6. "Won Bin hyung looks a lot more shy than you think, but he's actually quite playful once you get to know him. The way we got close is actually a bit of shock... We met in Busan for the first time while he was filming 'The Man From Nowhere'. I was at a restaurant eating alone when he asked to combine tables with me. It was me, Bin hyung, and his manager, but there were only two side dishes of fish. Bin hyung took one and picked out all of the bones before placing it on top of my rice. I was so dazed at that moment that I thought he might've been gay (laughter). Of course he wasn't, but that's just how much of a caring person he is."
7. A journalist noted that his tone of voice was consistent and stable through the entire duration of his interview. Upon mention, he said, "I don't usually raise my voice... There's nothing that you can really solve by raising it, right?"
8. His pay for his pictorial for L'Officiel Homme was donated entirely to UNICEF. Won Bin donates the majority of his time when he's not filming or at home to volunteering with the UNICEF.
9. Won Bin will drink at most three glasses of soju with exercise in moderation. On days he doesn't have any special filming schedules, he'll spend the day home, napping. He has no interest in financial investments. He deposits all of the money he makes into his bank account and leaves it there. He prefers to live his life analog style... He doesn't know what a Cyworld is.. and it'll be a long time before we even see him on Twitter.
10. Won Bin was filming an action scene in a bathroom without a stunt double and ended up injuring his hand with a rip. His martial arts director didn't know he was hurt at first until he spotted Won Bin sucking the blood off of his hand. "I didn't say anything in case filming got delayed because of me." Director Park was impressed, later saying, "He's a work of art. His strong will rivals no other."
11. At a film festival, Won Bin and his manager arrived late to the viewing of a film. There were staff waiting in the back who had to escort everyone to their seats... but Won Bin told them it was okay and watched the rest of the movie while standing in the back because he didn't want to be a bother to the staff or to the people already seated. Later, when they were out to eat, a director spotted Won Bin coming in and asked for a picture. Won Bin said no ^^ because he noticed his staff were eating and didn't want to disrupt them. After the staff said it was okay, he agreed to a picture.
12. An old man was out fishing when he spotted a young man in the river with a net, catching fish by hand. He went down to argue with him, saying that he was disrupting the flow of the river, and the young man apologized, saying he didn't see much fish so he was just catching whatever he saw. The two eventually got close through the ordeal and spent three days out fishing and talking about life... The old man later saw the same young man on television and found out he was Won Bin.

Telzone best reply lmao: "The heavens couldn't have made him so perfect.... I pray that he has a small penis."
International fans are so pressed about him, it's ridiculous.

Date: 2013-02-15 12:38 am (UTC)( bb why do all korean think Yoo In Ah is gay???...but a friend told me he might be bisexual idek)
no subject
Date: 2013-02-15 01:53 am (UTC)I think ppl think he is because he evidently frequents gay clubs in SK and other countries... it could all be netizen nonsense (I mean, some of the rumors can read like fan fiction) but some people said they actually met / saw him at these clubs so who knows lmao. Also they think he's dating a model but, I mean, they could at least give the name of the most irrelevant model ever to make that seem truer. I'm not really a fan of analyzing ppl's sexualities but it kind of annoys me that nobody's ever rumored to be bi, like, they're either straight or gay ~___~.
no subject
Date: 2013-02-16 11:29 pm (UTC)I think he most likely is non straight, there was a person on here once who hinted about an actor who was gay that she had seen/ and dated a friend of hers. Where there's smoke there is fire, and every time I hear about him now, there has to be some comment about him being gay, but its never in a mocking way...more matter- a - fact so I was like damn. So true! especially for males, a lot of people assume males //can't// be bisexual. He could be bisexual,a Korean friend of mine said that was the rumor and given the lack of pronouns he uses it could be true. My curiosity is too much, let me stop.

Date: 2013-02-17 12:19 pm (UTC)He v well could be not straight. There's been rumors practically his whole career and I don't think he's ever addressed them? So many dudes who have rumors, like Jo Kwon, Jang Geun Suk, various members of 2PM, Heechul, and Sungmin (to certain degrees) kind of combated them by either working out a ton or doing some hypermasculine "Just 5 Da Ladies" fuckshit to prove how straight they are.
After he won that best couple thing with Song Joong Ki, evidently there were rumors that they were dating~ and Joong Ki was the only one who actually dealt with it, saying he likes noonas and all that. Ah In just said it was "unprecedented" for a same-gender couple to win the award and found it more interesting than something to really worry about. But unlike Joong Ki, who kind of has an innocent image, Ah In's not marketed as anything other than a charming character actor with a difficult, "non-stereotypical" personality, which helps him ignore most of the rumors while getting into twitter fights over the election lmao.

Date: 2013-02-18 05:28 pm (UTC)Who was he arguing with and about what concerning the election?? I'm so curious to know who everyone voted for lmao. Mostly him and Bang.
Yea he really luckily that he doesnt have an image niche, he's not tied down personally to his job. I like the roles he chooses, they seem so different from how he is in real life but there must be something about being an outsider/underdog that attracts him.
no subject
Date: 2013-02-18 07:33 pm (UTC)I really like how he chooses roles, as well. He's much freer to play a variety of characters rather than That Handsome Guy like WB, which i'm sure is monetarily fulfilling but kind of stifling, even though he's a great actor, too.

Date: 2013-02-14 06:33 pm (UTC)he just really nice,super shy introvert awesome man that do not deserve the hate he get just for being his amazing self.
and funny when people labeling him as mysterious when he just have no special secret to hide since he just be himself and never change since long ago.
and lol those international haters of his hating him blindly just bec or his rumor with Sooyoung which is none of both fault and both getting blame and hate for nothing :P
seriously netizenbuzz is full of negativity and like the main home of all the pressed international haters.

My exact thought on yelling/raising my voice. Nobody feels better and/or listens more just because you yell at them. (unless I get blackout angry and who knows what happens then)
