He said to the interviewer, "I (first) met with Cha Seung Won three years ago at fashion week. As a rookie, I had trouble approaching him at the time so I just bowed to him from afar. After some time passed, now, he'll come up to me and greet me in a friendly way."

Kim Woo Bin added, "Now, we can even confide in each other about personal problems. The more I talk to senior Cha Seung Won, the more I think, 'I want to become an actor like that.' It's not easy to be a model and an actor, chasing two rabbits at once. But I think he is someone who was able to achieve it." 

The actor also revealed that he wished to help younger models who are pursuing their careers in acting by creating a cleaner path for them. 

Meanwhile, Kim Woo Bin can be seen in the upcoming movie, 'The Technicians,' playing the role of a master safecracker. The movie is set to premiere in theaters on December 24.
