Kim Woo Bin shares good news after six years of hiatus.
In the past years, Kim Woo Bin got bombarded with different health issues, including nasopharyngeal cancer. He found out about it when he started working on the movie Wiretap. It was at that time that he found out that he had the disease after noticing something abnormal in his body.
He even tested positive for COVID-19 after his cancer battle. But he braved all of it and survived.
After his notable appearance in Our Blues, the actor is up for a big screen return this time.

In a recent interview (via The Korea Times), Shin Min Ah’s boyfriend revealed that he feels excited and delighted that he was tapped to become part of Alienoid. It would mark his first movie after completing his treatment plan for cancer and recovering fully from the dreaded disease.
"I've waited for this for a long time. I started to realize this excitement last night,” he said. "Last week, I received the result of my treatment. The doctor said it's all clean and I'm better than before. Thank you everyone for supporting me."

Alienoid is an upcoming Choi Dong Hoon-directed movie exploring the life of Guard, an alien who manages alien prisoners confined in human brains. He takes on the job alongside his robot friend, Thunder. But he faces high-profile alien prison-breakers during his trip and finds that the links of the 14th and 21st centuries opened.
Aside from Kim Woo Bin, the film also features Ryu Jun Yeol and Kim Tae Ri.
Kim Woo Bin Says Alienoid Became His Priority Project
Before Alienoid chose him to star in the film, he was scheduled to appear in the flick Wiretape in 2018. But it has since been suspended after he got sick.
Fortunately, he and director Choi Dong Hoon got a chance to work together again in the sci-fi film. But to ensure his safety and health, the showrunner asked him to concentrate on acting and allow stunt doubles to do the action consequences instead.
“The director first wanted me to do some necessary scenes and others would be shot by stunt performers. During the filming, I felt I was getting healthier and I could do them by myself. So I asked the director to let me try,” he said.
The 33-year-old will show what he prepared for fans once Alienoid arrives on July 20.
