When playing the role of someone who speaks in a strong dialect, there are characteristics that most of the outstanding actors display. Right before going into filming, these actors constantly repeat the lines they have to say in the scene. They try as hard as they can until the end to make the lines that they are not used to completely their speech. In regards to this, people have no idea how hard Kim Woo Bin have been practicing. In the filming site of the movie, it was seen that Kim Woo Bin is making a lot of effort to be the best in his field, which was a good thing and was relieving.
Kim Woo Bin is an actor who deserves to be complimented because he knows how to use the muscles in the face in many ways. For movies, the screen is bigger so the facial expression naturally becomes important. A good actor is someone who has various uses for the facial muscles! To say it in a reverse way, it means that the actor shows up after eagerly stretching the muscles on the face. This case is best explained by the actor Jang Dong Gun. When filming the movie ‘Friends 2’, it took him few months to make the wrinkles on his forehead that he did not have before.
Just like Jang Dong Gun, Kim Woo Bin also put a lot of effort into making the wrinkles on the forehead. The wrinkles usually don’t show up very much to someone of his age. The truth is, the good facial expression or the facial features of a man comes out after passing the age 30 when the face begins to lose the fat. However, Kim Woo Bin already starts to show that kind of expression. It could be implied that he have been constantly making a lot of effort. In regards to all this, Kim Woo Bin is an actor with many different colors and also is someone with diligence and a strong will who knows how to use facial muscles on his face in diverse ways.

Kim Woo Bin no longer have the looks of a rookie model who is standing on the runaway stage during Seoul Fashion Week. Playing the role of Choi Young Do in SBS ‘The Inheritors’ and from the role of Seong Hoon in a movie ‘Friend 2’, his unique style acting can be seen. He became successful for now by establishing a new position with his differentiated image, which is clearly different from warm and smooth characteristics of actors Jo In Sung and Kang Dong Won, actors who made their debut as models first.
When analyzing the character of Kim Woo Bin, out of all, his physical characteristics most stand out. His well-built physique, thick eyebrow that points upward, torn eyes and also a mid-low voice added with a detailed portrayal of emotions and realistic acting that shows the inner side maintains the balance and does not make him the common, typical character, making people don’t easily get sick of him.

An actor with that kind of eyes and physical looks conveys the character that has the image of having a secret, being mysterious, a hidden story and the perspectives towards the unfamiliar world. Such an actor can be viewed as having the character that vary depending on different genres such as a story based on a historical period, thrillers, action and the soap opera and so on. The characteristics that change depending on the kind of genre can be seen from the most of the works Kim Woo Bin was in. He acted as a mysterious figure who knows about secrets of Lee Jong Suk (KBS 2 ‘School 2013’), an unfamiliar young man who has the secret that he is the son of Dong Soo (Movie ‘Friend 2’) and the son who is in conflict with the father (SBS ‘The Inheritors’) and so on.
With these reasons, Kim Woo Bin can be compared with the actor So Ji Sup. The actor So Ji Sup is also someone who has the mysterious and unfamiliar character and he is a relatively a good model to make a comparison with because when acting, he keeps the original personalities of a character but can still portray various figures.
So far, it would have been good to comment that he is an actor without any flaws but if we were to look to see if he has any areas that he needs to improve, it is very minor but could be pointed out that Kim Woo Bin has an inaccurate pronunciation and his facial expressions lack detailed expressions. At this point, the tasks that would be good for Kim Woo Bin if he can accomplish is create new types of figures while still based on the same character. However, when counting the number of years since his debut, his age and the number of works he was in, it is more appropriate to keep an eye on his progress for a little bit more and instead, send messages of encouragement. So far, relatively different ranges of acting can be found and new roles are created in each of the works. Based on these aspects, the way he uses to portray new characters is the highlight in upcoming works.

# The sense of wit and a sense of humor – realistic variety program type sports skills and rapid reaction
Overall comments: His advantage is the ability to adapt most naturally to the atmosphere that requires wit and a sense of humor. The task is to find his unique color and style.
- SBS ‘Running Man’ Cho Hyo Jin, the director of the program
Kim Woo Bin shows enthusiastic attitudes towards programs that are about wit and humor. It looks like that he will also adapt well to other programs in the future. He has strong sports skills so it looks like that he will fit well into other realistic variety programs that take place outdoors. Also, he also smoothly harmonized with others who appeared on the show together, which is most important in programs that are about being witty and humorous.
Most of all, the best thing about him is doing everything that he needs to do with an enthusiastic attitude and that he tries to enjoy what he does because such aspects can give positive energy to other casts on the show. As a director of the program, I think it is the most important part. He has the wit for every moment and can rapidly react to situations so it looks like that Kim Woo Bin can develop his talents to some level in the field that needs wit and humor.
- Mnet ‘M! Countdown’ Yoon Shin Hye, the chief producer
Kim Woo Bin is a very diligent host. Even though he is busy as this overlaps with his shooting for the drama, he shows up after finishing listening to all of the songs that are written on the script. Because’ M! Countdown’ is a live show, there are times when unexpected situations happen but his ability to deal with these moments with his rapidly reacting skills is very good. When there has to be changes made to the plan due to the time or when the order of the songs changes without any warnings, he is still capable of professionally managing these situations in a calm manner.
In contrast with typical idol group hosts, his voice is calm and low, making him have his own unique advantage. In the long run, it would be better if he can show more of his own unique color.
# Facial features – A type of face of someone with a lot of talents
Overall comments: He is stubborn with his view, sensitive and has strong eagerness towards making achievements. His face shows that he will flourish more next year than this year
- Professor Jo Kyu Moon, a professor from the department of East Asian Philosophy at Kyeonggi University Culture and the Arts Graduate School, Research center for the culture of Name and Fortune

His face is vertically long rectangular face. These kinds of looks are talented and smart the most of the time but can also be stubborn with their views and be sensitive. People with these looks are the types who are better to work in the field they like rather than working in a company receiving monthly salary.
His eyebrows are sharp and clear, resembling the shape of the sword. These kinds of eyebrows are charismatic and also very precious, so it can represent becoming rich. His eyes have colorful looks and the size of his left and the right eye is slightly different. In the field that looks at the facial features, it is called ‘EumYangAn (eyes that are different in size) People with these eyes are capable of easily deceiving others. For this reason, it can work as an advantage for magicians who has to fool the crowd or for actors who must let the viewers clearly see the different side by letting everything go and completely become one with the character in the drama. The nose is neat, slim and sharp and looks like it has power. In the studies that look at the facial features, the nose is a feature that is related to wealth and Kim Woo Bin’s nose has high chances for wealth. Because his upper lip looks thin, it could mean that he is strongly capable of focusing on one thing only. His mouth slightly points upward and both side of his chin has the definite angle, which is according to the field that studies facial features, it is an aspect that is related to gaining popularity from people.
Someone with this kind of facial features is confident in what he does, is full of sense of responsibility and desires and also has a strong individuality. These people can also have tendency to be careful and be sensitive.
The features of the face that shows 2014 might be the side of the forehead. This part is clean, pure and stable, giving expectations of more planned activities next year as an actor than this year, expected to spend a successful year enjoying high amount of popularity.

# Physical feature – From boy to man
Overall comment: Through constant exercising, with increased muscle mass, he successfully transformed from smooth young boy image to the strong image
-Golden Fit Gym Chief Trainer Yoon Tae Sik
During the time when he was a model, Kim Woo Bin’s height was 187 cm and was a skinny person. With natural broad shoulders and thin waist, his body was nicely proportionate but Kim Woo Bin as a model was closer to the image of a young boy rather than his current manly image in SBS ‘The Inheritors’.
When looking at his recent looks Kim Woo Bin stays among the top even when compared to the top of the muscular actors with muscular shoulders and arms, breast and abs. compared to the past, the muscle mass of Kim Woo Bin increased so much so that it almost creates a misunderstanding that he is not the same person. It all can be considered as a result of his regular exercise and by controlling what he eats.
It can be seen that the muscle mass in the upper part of the body increased a lot and the muscles in the breast, shoulders and arms are in good shape so it looks good regardless of the kinds of clothes he wears. Some of the muscle parts names are mistaken but it all have the overall ideal circular shape. When judged by just looking at the picture, Kim Woo Bin has the type of body the muscles in the back are slower at developing than the ones in the front. If he improves a little bit more of his back muscles, his physique will be even more perfect.
Transforming from his young boy looks to manly and powerful image somewhat gives off a vibe of roughness and solidness. In dramas (movies), his body is pretty good but that will give limits to the kinds of roles that he can pull off. The breast muscle stretch and if he exercises the muscles in the back, then he is expected to be able to pull of more various images.
