he was mentioned in the lyrics of ladies' code's single "kiss kiss", composed by super changddai. the lyrics said, "난 오늘밤 꿈에서 난 원빈 오빠가 나타나 줄 텐데" (tonight, in my dreams, won bin "oppa" will appear). members of the south korean boy group ikon had also mentioned him on several of their songs. bobby said in the lyrics of his rap verse on masta wu's single "come here", "실력이 외모면 난 방탄 유리 앞에 원빈." (if skill equals to looks, i'm won bin in front of a bulletproof glass.) won bin's character in the man from nowhere was referenced by krystal jung in the 2013 drama "the heirs," as well as by ikon's b.i in the lyrics of his song with co-member bobby, "anthem" wherein he said, "날고 기어도 다 씹어 먹어줄게 call me 아저씨." (we'll chew you up like raw meat, call me "ahjusshi".) in the 2015 korean drama "kill me, heal me", the character of park seo-joon, oh ri-on, told secretary ahn that the elusive writer omega's looks were rumored to be "on the won bin level."
