Rejected HYBE, Left JYP & SM: Handsome Rising Actor’s Jaw-Dropping Visuals Become A Hot Topic

In early July, the series B*tch x Rich returned for its second season.

Bitch X Rich tells the story of a transfer student who enters one of the most prestigious high schools in the nation after witnessing a murder case, only to end up in the same school as the murder suspect herself. The second season has similar, thrilling vibes and brings back much of the main cast of the first.

However, a newcomer debuting in this series has since attracted attention.

Rookie actor Won Gyu Bin appears in the series as Lee Sa Rang, the younger brother of Lee So Mang from season 1.

The 21-year-old actor is under nnekorea, and appears to have popped up overnight, though this is not the case. Last year, Won Kyu Bin appeared on Hong Seok Cheon’s Jewelry Box, where he revealed that not only did he train under JYP Entertainment and SM Entertainment, but he received offers from HYBE and Pledis Entertainment. 

It’s easy to understand how he attracted so much attention.

Won Gyu Bin’s photos were shared in an online forum, and netizens couldn’t help but praise his handsome visuals. Some compared him to other handsome stars, including EXO‘s Baekhyun and Nam Joo Hyuk.

• “He’s really handsome, totally Rookie Actor of the Year material.”
• “But he totally gives off JYP vibes lol.”
• “Wow, I don’t see any SM facial traits at all. HYBE, yes, I agree.”
• “At first glance at the first photo, I thought it was long-haired Baekhyun lol.”
