TVXQ's Changmin has shared an unforgettable encounter with actor Won Bin, revealing that he was completely amazed after unexpectedly spotting the star on the streets of Cheongdam, Seoul.

On October 21, Changmin appeared as a guest on educator Lee Ji Young's YouTube channel, where the two discussed celebrities who left a strong impression on them in real life.

During their conversation, Changmin asked Lee Ji Young whether she had ever met a celebrity or athlete with an especially memorable presence.

After Lee Ji Young shared her experience seeing actress Kim Tae Hee during their university years, Changmin revealed that he had a similar experience involving Won Bin.

Changmin explained that he had admired Won Bin since he was young and was a huge fan of his 2010 action film The Man from Nowhere.

He said, "I really like actor Won Bin. He's so handsome, isn't he? I think I've watched The Man from Nowhere more than 50 times."

The singer then recalled unexpectedly spotting Won Bin while driving near Cheongdam Intersection in Seoul.

Changmin explained that he was waiting at a traffic light when someone in the distance caught his attention.

He shared, "I'm really not exaggerating. He was several dozen meters away, but even from that distance, I could feel this incredible presence."

At first, Changmin was simply amazed by the person's appearance.

He continued, "His facial features looked so defined. I thought, 'Wow, what is this?' Then I looked more closely and realized it was Won Bin."

Recognizing the actor he had admired for years made the moment even more exciting.

Changmin jokingly admitted that he briefly wanted to leave his car and run toward Won Bin, even though he knew stopping there would violate traffic rules.

He said, "I wanted to just park my car right there and run over to him. But he was seriously so handsome. It was unbelievable seeing him in person."

The singer also shared a humorous reaction after driving away.

Changmin explained that when he later looked at himself in the rearview mirror, he felt his own face looked flat compared to Won Bin's striking features.

He joked, "After seeing him, my face looked like a two-dimensional drawing."

Lee Ji Young laughed at his comparison and teased that if someone as handsome as Changmin felt that way, ordinary people might have an even more dramatic reaction.

However, Changmin continued praising Won Bin's appearance.

He said, "Won Bin is seriously so handsome."

Changmin then revealed that he still has one personal goal involving the actor.

He shared, "Becoming someone who personally knows Won Bin is one of my remaining goals in the entertainment industry."

His comments brought laughter to the conversation while showing how much he continues to admire the actor.

Won Bin has remained largely absent from acting projects since starring in The Man from Nowhere in 2010.

The film attracted approximately 6.28 million moviegoers in South Korea and became one of his most recognized works.

Although Won Bin has continued to appear in advertising campaigns, he has not released a new film or television drama in 16 years.

The actor, who married actress Lee Na Young in 2015, has maintained a relatively private life away from the entertainment spotlight.

Against this background, Changmin's unexpected sighting of Won Bin has attracted attention, especially among fans who have been hoping to see the actor return to the screen.

While there has been no announcement of a new acting project, Changmin's enthusiastic account offers a rare glimpse of Won Bin's presence in everyday life, proving that the actor can still leave a lasting impression even after years away from the screen.
