Since 2010, the actor has taken a break from acting. He was among the performers who received an offer to play the lead male character in the popular television series Descendants of the Sun. The role of Song Joong Ki was selected since the actor declined it.
Descendants of the Sun was Offered to Won Bin

In the role of Yoo Shi Jin, an army officer, is Song Joong Ki. Won Bin was originally offered this post.
