[Interview] Kim Woo Bin Originally Had No Intention of Becoming an Actor
The model-turned-actor Kim Woo Bin confessed that he originally never dreamed of becoming an actor.
In a recent interview with Newsen, the rising star confessed, “I was not interested in acting at all when I was a model.”
He continued by saying, “My goal was to become a professor in modeling, and even when I was in the model agency I refused to take acting lesson. But I realized later that in order to model for commercials, I needed to have some acting skills, so I finally started taking acting lessons.”
“Then I fell in love with my first acting instructor. He was so passionate in acting and tried to help me out with so much sincerity that I started wondering what it was to act, and wanted to challenge myself. I got the same feeling that I felt when I first started modeling,” said Kim Woo Bin.
“I began to pour all my efforts into acting, even asking for extra assignments,” continued the actor. “The biggest charm of both modeling and acting is that they have basics, but there is no definite answer. You get different results depending on how much you try and contemplate on it.”
Recently there have been many model-turned-actors who have gained much recognition, with Kim Woo Bin being one of them.
“Cha Seung Won always cheers me on and supports me. I think it’s because he was also a model in the beginning,” said Kim Woo Bin. “I, too, want to give back what I received when I get my own hoobaes later on.”

Even though he has been keeping himself busy with acting, Kim Woo Bin doesn’t want to give up on modeling.
He stated, “I missed this season’s collection show for the first time since I debuted, due to my drama schedule. But I really love modeling, and am thankful for it for bringing me to this spot. I would like to continue modeling as long as I can.”
