Say hello to the latest star to join the BENCH family—Kim Won Shik! Announced as an official endorser this August, the South Korean actor and singer is now taking his talents from the screen to the runway. On September 1st, 2024, Won Shik made his debut at BENCH Fashion Week Holiday 2024, striding down the catwalk in an all-white ensemble, complete with a sleek tank top, sheer cover-up, and knee-length shorts. But it was the bold glimpse of his black BENCH Body underwear that stole the show, combining class with a daring edge.
BENCH is a well-established Philippine brand that’s been a major player in the global fashion scene, known for its accessible yet high-quality clothing. Over the years, it’s attracted a roster of top Korean stars, cementing its place as a world-class label with serious international appeal. Now, Kim Won Shik joins the ranks, adding a fresh layer of star power to the brand’s growing influence.
Won Shik’s debut wasn’t just a fashion moment—it was a statement. His performance didn’t go unnoticed, with major features in Metro Style, a prominent local magazine, adding to the spotlight. His runway appearance follows a standout feature as Metro Man’s cover star last April, marking another milestone in his Philippine career.
In an Instagram post following the event, Won Shik expressed his excitement, sharing how honored he felt to be part of the BENCH Fashion Week. "It’s amazing how BENCH has so many Korean endorsers, and now I’m one of them. BENCH supports local, BENCH is world-class, and this is why I love BENCH," he said.
But Won Shik's influence doesn’t end there. The Universal Records Philippines Artist is making waves in the music scene too, with the upcoming release of his second single, "Hello My Love," this October. The heartfelt ballad combines English and Korean lyrics, weaving a tale of true love with a melody designed to linger in your mind long after the first listen.
Won Shik is proving himself to be a force in both fashion and music, and his presence in the Philippines is only getting stronger. Keep an eye on this rising star as he takes his place in the BENCH spotlight—you won't want to miss what’s next.
