It was because of child actress Kim Saeron. During the filming of the movie 'The Man from Nowhere' (2010), he had to work with child actress Kim Saeron. He decided to quit smoking out of consideration for his young co-star, who was only 10 years old at the time. It is reported that Won Bin has stopped smoking since then.
-This is so heartbreaking...
-It would've been nice if she had met more adults like him... Sighㅠㅠ
-This is how a real adult should actㅠ
-Reading this post suddenly makes me miss Won Binㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-He's such a good adultㅠㅠ Maybe that's why it was hard for someone like him to return to such a dirty industry.
-To be honest, I was a little surprised to see him at Kim Saeron's funeral. They knew each other a long time ago. Besides, there were a lot of reporters around, so I thought he might not have wanted to be photographed looking older and not well-maintained.
-He hasn't been active for such a long time and he knew there would be reporters at the funeral site, but he still came. It made me realize that he is truly an adult. This post makes me realize that he really is one.
-It would've been nice if Saeron had a good adult and senior close by her side...
-Has Won Bin retired....? He doesn't work anymore?
-I remember reading about this before. It made me realize that he's such a good person. He made a really considerate decision because he filmed with a lot of child actors.
-ㅠㅠ A truly good Ahjussi.
-I wonder how it must've felt like for him to attend the funeral of a child he once worked with when she was 10... This is truly heartbreaking.
-I'm even more shocked by the fact that he has been on hiatus for 15 years. At this point, isn't that basically retirement?
-Won Bin really seems like a good person...
-She should've had adults like him around her. That's how it should be.
