Kim Woobin Almost Detained In The Philippines Due To Mistaken Identity

Kim Woobin is a known Korean actor and model and recently, he went to the Philippines to shoot his new movie entitled "Master." However, on his way home to Korea, he was mistaken as a criminal for some apparent reasons.

Kim Woobin shared in an interview about his experience of almost being detained in the Philippines for one month. According to Koreaboo, he was informed one week before his departure from the country and the staff along with him told him that he will not be able to leave.

The reason? It's all because of Kim Woobin's real name -- Kim Hyunjoong.
