Top Actor’s Drama Character Becomes More Famous Than Him

It looks like actor Byeon Woo Seok has lost in the popularity game with his character, Ryu Sunjae! In the popular tvN series Lovely Runner, Byeon Woo Seok plays an idol in the group Eclipse. He plays both an 18-year-old student and a 34-year-old celebrity, capturing the hearts of fans everywhere.

With this role, he has received a positive response for playing the role of an idol without having any prior experience as an idol or trainee. This was a major factor that surprised both drama and idol fans.

Most recently, he attended the 25th Jeonju International Film Festival and garnered much attention on the red carpet. In particular, fans could be heard yelling “Sunjae” instead of his name, proving the huge impact of the drama.

아 개웃겨 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

This is so f*king hilarious. Fans are yelling, ‘Sunjae!! Sunjae!!’ Has Eclipse’s Ryu Sunjae or actor Byeon Woo Seok stepped on the red carpet? (Seeing that the fans are yelling ‘Sunjae,’ it looks like Ryu Sunjae has appeared on the red carpet. Are you going to see Sol after the event? Watch out, Sunjae!
