After taking a 15-year break, actor Won Bin has made a rare public appearance, sparking excitement among fans. His return comes through a new TV commercial, putting to rest rumors of his retirement.

On January 7th, a fresh commercial for the cosmetics brand "Incellderm" was released, featuring Won Bin as the model. This marks his first appearance in over a year and fans have eagerly awaited his return.

In the ad, Won Bin wears a white shirt and jacket while holding the plant Centella Asiatica and gazing directly into the camera. Even in close-up shots, he still looks as handsome as ever, showing off his chiseled features.

The rare sight of Won Bin has sparked a wave of positive reactions online. Netizens have been commenting things like, "He doesn't seem to age at all," "He still looks amazing, but I guess time catches up with him," and "Maybe the AI theory about him is true."

Won Bin has stayed out of the spotlight since his last film, The Man From Nowhere, in 2010. In 2015, he married actress Lee Na Young in a small wedding and later that year, they welcomed their son.

While Lee Na Young returned to acting, Won Bin remained mostly absent from the public eye, saying he was "reading scripts" but taking no major projects.

In 2014, rumors about his retirement started when he withdrew from a coffee commercial he had been a part of for 16 years. His agency quickly denied the rumors, but speculation about his future in acting continued.

During a variety show last year, host Park Kyung Lim mentioned that she had hoped to meet him, commenting that even after all these years, he hadn't done a project.

Ji Chun Hee, a close friend of Won Bin and Lee Na Young, shared that it's not that Won Bin doesn't want to work, but that he seems to be dealing with some pressure. She also mentioned that despite the years, Won Bin has matured into an even more handsome man.

Now, after a long wait, Won Bin has made a rare comeback with this commercial. Fans are hopeful that this could be a sign that a new project is on the way. Will 2025 bring a fresh role for the actor? Fans are eagerly watching for his next move.
