The pairing has already generated significant buzz among the public. Actor Won Bin has long been regarded as one of South Korea's most handsome leading men, while RIIZE's Wonbin quickly gained attention for his striking visuals after debuting. Since the two share the same stage name and are both widely recognized as "visual icons," fans have long expressed hopes of seeing them work together.

Industry watchers are eager to see the chemistry between the two stars. Actor Won Bin, who debuted in 1997 and remains one of Korea's most recognizable actors despite a lengthy hiatus, will now share the spotlight with RIIZE's Wonbin, who has emerged as the center of one of K-pop's fastest-rising global boy groups since debuting in 2023.

Actor Won Bin made his debut through the 1997 drama 'Propose' and went on to star in numerous hit films, including 'Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War,' 'Mother,' and 'The Man from Nowhere.' His performance in the 2010 action film 'The Man from Nowhere' earned widespread acclaim for both his action sequences and emotional acting.

Although he has taken an extended break from acting, Won Bin has remained one of Korea's most influential celebrities through high-profile endorsement deals. His timeless visuals and enduring public appeal have made him a longtime face of numerous major brands.

RIIZE's Wonbin debuted in September 2023 under SM Entertainment as a member of RIIZE.

Since his debut, he has attracted attention as the group's center thanks to his exceptional visuals, performance skills, and vocal ability. He has become one of the group's standout members and a rising fashion and beauty icon, receiving numerous offers from brands.

RIIZE has established itself as one of the leading fifth-generation global boy groups with successful releases including the singles "Get A Guitar," "Talk Saxy," "Love 119," and "Boom Boom Bass," all of which have performed strongly on domestic and international music charts.

The group continues to maintain strong momentum. According to SM Entertainment, tickets for RIIZE's third anniversary fan meeting, 'Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR,' scheduled for September 12–13 at Inspire Arena in Incheon, sold out immediately upon opening. The event will utilize the arena's full 360-degree seating configuration, highlighting the group's powerful fandom.

RIIZE is also preparing to release its third Japanese single, 'Sunburst,' on August 26. The group has already kicked off promotions by unveiling the title track, a house-inspired song filled with bright summer energy, along with its performance.

With actor Won Bin and RIIZE's Wonbin—two defining visual icons of different generations—joining forces as ambassadors for the same brand, both the advertising industry and fans are eagerly anticipating the unique chemistry and cross-generational appeal they will bring to the campaign.
