Among them, there must be BYJ and Won Bin.
These are two very interesting actors. They are both in their thirties. When they became popular, they suddenly retired from the film and television circle without saying a word, and almost disappeared for nearly ten years.
When the Korean Wave hit, Bae Yong-joon had to leave him a top position. The love hotel of 200 1 has already burned him, and the winter love song in 2002 added fuel to the fire, which not only set off a huge wave in South Korea, but also swept China and Japan with his popularity.
At that time, an investigation by an economic research institute showed that due to the popularity of winter love songs, Korean tourism increased by 15%, and the influence of a TV series was so great that it was unique.
"The Prince of Glasses" is not a hollow name. Japanese women think he is the most like a star in a comic book. And his elegant and handsome temperament is also extremely destructive to the female audience in China.
At that time, when it came to Bae Yong-joon, he was the mountain that most Korean actors could only look up to.
However, this momentum soon came to an abrupt end. After filming Scandal and Going Out, BYJ had already given up his intention. After filming the Four Gods of King Tai in 2007, at the age of 35, he quietly disappeared, retired behind the scenes and became the boss, and the legend of Jianghu was no longer written.
Compared with BYJ, Won Bin is five years younger. His achievements in the Korean drama Love Between Life and Death caused a sensation in Asia. Although he is not the first leading actor, Han Taixi, played by him, is still very attractive.
In terms of movies, he attacked earlier than BYJ, but the mass production was still very small. In the 200 1 Black Boy Company, his acting skills are not as green as that of Kong Xiaozhen in the film.
However, Won Bin's potential is too great, and the next four films, each better than the other, left a deep impression on the audience.
You can also say that he hid behind Zhang Dongjian in Flying Tai Chi Flag, and his temperature in My Brother was not as good as that of Shin Ha-kyun. But it was the classic films Mother and Lonely Agent that established his position in the film and television circle.
So far, Won Bin has only made five films. He died after the age of 33, and the audience was a stranger to him. But his legacy is huge and lasting, and many viewers are looking forward to his contribution.
Both BAE Yong-joon and Won Bin quit the entertainment circle at the most creative time in their lives, saying that they have no regrets is false.
Two people left the film and television circle almost at the same time, but today, why do you often hear the voice calling for Won Bin, but no one mentioned BYJ?
I think an important reason is the difference between film art and TV drama art, because there are many TV dramas, which pay more attention to stories and have less requirements for actors; Movies are different. For tens of minutes or more than a hundred minutes, we should not only tell the story well, but also stand up the characters. The requirements for actors are much higher, so the role can be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This is not to say that BAE Yong-joon's acting skills are not good, but that his two most famous films, Scandal and Going Out, have limited themes and have not spread widely. Unlike Won Bin, Mother and Lonely Agent are naturally more popular as crime action movies.
Besides, BAE Yong-joon and Won Bin are two styles of actors, and the word "elegance" is very suitable for BAE Yong-joon. This kind of male star used to be very popular, but today it's embarrassing.
The audience either likes hard ones, such as dwayne douglas johnson; Or a lot of small fresh meat like mom. Junya is not a mother. Although she is more comfortable than her mother, the aesthetic trend is sometimes retrogressive.
Won Bin is much harder. He is a cool actor. This cold style has never been out of date, because in countless fashion trends, a cold is always needed to appease the audience.
I think this is probably the reason why BAE Yong-joon and Won Bin were treated differently ten years after they quit the entertainment circle.
