There was a spurt of excitement followed by tempered expectations with news of K-actor Kim Woo Bin‘s return to acting. He’s been on a work hiatus for going on two years now since early 2017 due to cancer treatments that are reportedly successful and he’s in remission. He’s been spotted last year vacationing in Hawaii with good friend Lee Jong Seok and also various sightings in Korea and overseas with girlfriend of three years Shin Mina. That’s all fine and dandy but I’m really hoping he’s fully recovered to the point of returning to acting. His two year break would be equivalent to his expected military service which he has now been understandably fully exempt. Film industry professionals stated last week that Kim Woo Bin is in talks for a period crime thriller movie with the director of the movie he was working on before his health hiatus. Kim Woo Bin’s agency responded that Kim Woo Bin’s health is much improved but he currently has no plans for a return yet. Bummer as a fan of his unique looks and acting charisma but happy that he’s taking things at his own pace.

He should continue to take things easy. Therefore no substitute for good health. I don’t care if he never acts again as long as he is alive and well. Shooting movies is no cakewalk, and is taxing on one’s stamina. I hope he’s fully recovered before he embarks on another project.
*there is*
Miss him but glad that he is recovering. Nothing but best wishes for him.
It's been almost 3 years since his cancer diagnosis? Time runs fast. I wish him full recovery. He does rely more on charisma than acting, really so he should take it easy with his comeback, especially when he most likely hasn't been able to practice his acting
It's just 2 years not 3.
Health first and foremost please KWB! I don’t mind waiting until you are 110% declared clear. Any genre any character you could be a tree I would be happy just to see you cast in anything. Wishing you the best upon your return
