At first I was confused but huh, GQ Korea has never featured a man of its own nationality on the cover?! I get that it's a Western publication, but still...
Many Korean (versions of int'l) fashion mags may target the Korean market but still feature good ol' Western faces on the covers. GQ has featured people like George Clooney, and I believe Song Hye-gyo was the first Korean woman on Vogue Korea's covers a year or so ago. Doesn't make sense, but it happens.
Yeah..i notice too, ever since he came back from the MS, he always looks serious and he's soo thin now..not that he's not before but even more..Wish him the best!
for some reason, his first pic with the blue-sleeved jacket remind me of Max Changmin...O_o..*probably the eyes* But thank you for Won Bin's pics and articles Dramabeans =)
He seemed to have completely lost the "glow" he used to have. Never got it back after the army. I missed the Won Bin of Autumn Tale. He was alive then. Not now.
Anyways, they like to use bath tub in photo shots, don't they? JDG's commercial had one too. (Just an observation....)
lol i saw this "news" from certain website, when i read at the one liner "news" somehow i just knew that it was taken from your oh snap section XD
is that a sign that i have visited your blog way to much?
love the bath tub pic anyway, and yeah , thank you
"Many Korean (versions of int’l) fashion mags may target the Korean market but still feature good ol’ Western faces on the covers"
That's very interesting. I guess Western faces on magazine covers simply sell more copies?
"He seemed to have completely lost the “glow” he used to have. Never got it back after the army. I missed the Won Bin of Autumn Tale. He was alive then. Not now."
I totally agree with that. Back in the Autumn Tale days he was like ..... my man-crush. But since he came back from the service he just seems so melancholic. His next project does not seem like a particularly good choice either.
> That’s very interesting.

I think it has to do more with costs.
Since these international mags already pay a huge amount to the Western celebs they probably just tack on a little more to allow them to use the pics in other countries/regions.
Whereas it would cost a lot more for them to hire local celebs.
I don't know how it is in Korea, but in Taiwan the American mags don't sell as well as the Japanese ones.
I don't mind that wasn't Jang Dong Gun..He already became the cover of Time Asia, so... :P
Anyway. Won Bin looks great here, and I saw the cover picture on Popseoul, and he smokes. I know and (sometimes) I agree that pic of man w/ cigarette is cool, but still disturbing.
Is that the reason you didn't include the cover picture, Javabeans?
is Won Bin depressed or what? he seems dead-looking...he doesn't even have the glow on his face after his military service...did they molest him at the camp or what? unlike other actors who had finished their service, they all look excited for their comeback projects and here is WB who is lifeless.
Hi, how're you doing? I feel great to see your present pictures again. You look very attractive on GQ.your hair style fits you so much. Congratulations on your various interesting jobs.
Take care and have a pleasant moment.
Hi, you look smart in general in the photos for the charity projects except the smoking one. I really like you but I think it couldn't make sense according to your charity project, I'm sorry saying that. You' ve a smart idea , anyway. I feel great to hear that you perform a remarkable job like this. I haven't seen the GQ magazine before coz I'm in another country, rather being a developing one. Thanks for your kindness to the developing children. Wish you have a warm and fantastic life.
Glad to see you and thank you for reducing my missing of you. I'm skeptical about the apperance in your poses, you look so serious then. Is it due to the concept of the pose? What's about your truself? If you really don't won't to smile, I'm going to change my mind to love Yoo Gun instead....ok?
omg i drolling right now!!
he is so hot!!
i think he is the only guy who came out lookin more sizzilin than he went in to army out of all the actors!!
my personal opnion
man i miss him so much
I will never understand people that feel the need to criticize. why bother?! The models, in this case Bin has to do what the photographer request. How come somebody even ask if he was molested in the army? for goodness sake people, think twice before typing. Bin, you are beautiful!
