The iconic actor and model has once again proven his skills and tenacity through his latest appearance on Netflix’s “Officer Black Belt” film released on September 13.
In an interview with a Korean media outlet, while promoting the movie, Woo Bin revealed how the character he plays reflects his life after the cancer diagnosis. In “Officer Black Belt”, Woo Bin plays the jovial Lee Jung Do, who utilizes his martial arts skills to prevent crime and protect civilians. Woo Bin states that after the cancer diagnosis and full recovery, he has been more intentional in making the best of every moment with gratitude and a positive mindset.
In a previous interview on the ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong Yup’ YouTube channel, Woo Bin stated that the doctors had given him 6 months to live after the 2017 diagnosis. Like any other human, Woo Bin hoped it was but a bad dream he would soon wake up from. Woo Bin further added that it felt like a movie scene. Woo Bin stated the support and prayers from everyone gave him the strength to achieve his 2019 full recovery.
In the Korean media outlet’s interview, Woo Bin highlighted that the diagnosis changed his perspective on life. Before the diagnosis, he lived in the future, always working hard for his future self, including pulling consecutive all-nighters. But the diagnosis was a wake-up call. He has learned to live in the moment, giving full attention to those around him, and finding happiness and meaning in every moment. Woo Bin further added that the “Officer Black Belt” role birthed his appreciation for the unheard heroes sacrificing their lives for the rest.
