A lot of Korean celebrities have impacted on us with their commendable performances that are truly difficult to forget. But there are those who have lain low from the spotlight but remain striking and indelible.
A few Korean actors have been on hiatus for more or less than a decade. While they do appear on commercials from time to time, they haven't been on long-term basis projects like movies or drama series. Any photos that appear on social media is like a bar of gold that we tried to scramble and look.
Actors have their reasons why they chose to fade out of the limelight. Some have grown unhappy being in showbiz, while others prioritize other things, such as their families, over their career.
Here's a list of several Korean actors who have been on break for a really long time.
Won Bin
We watched him in his last movie "The Man From Nowhere," which was from ten years ago, which he clinched awards for. But after that, he only participated in CF within the years not doing any drama or film. Actress Lee Na Young, Won Bin's wife, explained that the actor is still trying to choose a project that speaks to his artistic sensibilities. The actor would accept any acting project that he likes rather than made to be a commercial success. In 2019, the actor impressed fans that at age 42, he still exudes such striking visuals. He was spotted in casual attire for a photoshoot for OLZEN.
Ko So Young
She had her debut in 1990 and was active in dramas up until 2007. Within those times, she was not in any project as rumors said that a few of her past series didn't have much success. She married actor Jang Dong Gun in 2010 with star-studded reception held at Seoul Shilla Hotel.
She appeared in 2017 for the drama series "Ms. Perfect." Since then, she never joined any projects. She was seen on social media as she attended her friend's wedding.
