Her journey as a child actress to now has had many achievements, with her most recent work a resounding success.
Child star with 24 years of experience in the industry
Born in 1992 in Songpa district, Seoul, actress Park Eun Bin started acting at a very young age. Since she was 5, the actress appeared for the first time on the screen with the drama series “White Nights 3.98”. This drama debut set off a chain of successes for this child actress. Some of her hit performances to be named are “Glass Slippers”, “The Legend” and “Queen Seon Deok”. Whereas the actress only played the younger version of actors or supporting roles on-screen, her look and talent left an impression on the audience.
Unlike other child actors with a one-hit-wonder and slippery careers once they reach their peak, Park Eun Bin, from early on, decided she would take her acting career seriously. Her first turning point came in 2012, when Park Eun Bin landed her first ever lead role in drama series “Operation Proposal”.
Although the actress was yet to rank among the superstars, the actress finally climbed up to be a leading character, appearing in many other drama series such as “Hello, My Twenties!”, “Hot Stove League”, “Do You Like Brahms?” and “The King’s Affection” where she co-starred with SF9’s Rowoon and had perfect chemistry. The period drama soon became a phenomenon pan-Asia and well-received by both domestic and international audiences.
Following “The King’s Affection”, Park Eun Bin’s name and reputation escalates thanks to her spotlight in a sensational drama series “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” alongside Kang Tae Oh. Her ability to totally immerse in her character makes a strong impression on the drama’s viewers. She is shot to stardom, even her endorsement cachet doubles to 400 million won. The actress’s hard work is bearing fruits after her 24 years in the industry.
Child actress’ on-screen transformation
Park Eun Bin has been acting since she was 5 years old, giving the audience the chance to see her maturity in both her appearance and acting performance. From her first ever role, the actress attracted looks for her cute and adorable appearances. When the actress grew up, viewers could not keep their eyes off her fragile and innocent beauty.
Until now, Park Eun Bin still maintains her pure and natural features from the old days, making everyone fall for her sweet smiles and glistening eyes.
Golden personality, respectable genius of Korean entertainment industry
Park Eun Bin always receives praises for her personality, talent and beauty. As expected from her calming appearance and positive role on the screen, the actress is also very gentle and hardworking in real life. Former entertainment reporter Lee Jin Ho shared: “The reporters always shower her with praises to the point they even clap after an interview with her. It is because of her extremely gentle attitude and kindness for others. She is also well-spoken, making the jobs of reporters much easier”.
Apart from people in the industry, her university peers are also fond of the actress. In 2011, she was accepted to the department of Psychology and Media Communication in Sogang University, one of the most prestigious institutions in Korea. The acceptance rate to Sogang University is 3%, meaning only 1 out of 23 applicants can be admitted. At the time, Park Eun Bin’s scores were not announced, creating gossip about the actress getting special treatment.
However her peers stood firmly by the actress. Under a malicious post about the actress, they did not hold back the praise for her. Accordingly, Park Eun Bin never skipped class and always achieved high scores. She received at least 3 A in one semester, never failed a subject and never had any special treatment.
Her relationship with Yoo Seung Ho and EXO’s Kai
When she steps into the industry, Park Eun Bin only focuses on her career and never sparks controversies about her personal life. Yet, she is often the talk of the town when paired with major onscreen heartthrobs.
Having co-starred up to 5 times, Park Eun Bin and Yoo Seung Ho were once involved in a dating rumor for a too compatible acting dynamic. They are both child actors, have couple-like appearances and widely recognized acting capabilities. Hence, the ship is often set to sail. Nonetheless, these two never speak up about their personal lives and their dating rumors die down after several years.
Apart from Yoo Seung Ho, Park Eun Bin is also EXO’s Kai’s “on-screen” girlfriend. They both exchanged sweet gestures in the 2016 web series “Choco Bank”. Speculations arose when Kai expressed he wanted to do more romantic scenes with Park Eun Bin during the filming.
