Korean actor Byeon Woo-seok shared how he helped his Lovely Runneco-star Kim Hye-yoon fulfill her fangirl dreams.

In a recent interview with Naver at the Star News headquarters in Korea, the actor revealed that Hye-yoon is a big fan of NewJeans, whom they met at the Asia Artist Awards (AAA) held in Bangkok, Thailand in December 2024.

Knowing how much she admired the group, Woo-seok took the initiative to introduce her to NewJeans.

"On set, Hye-yoon always mentioned how much she liked NewJeans, and she even danced to their songs at a fan meeting," he recalled as per English translation.

"But when she actually saw them, she was too much of a fan to say anything. Since NewJeans was sitting right behind us, I introduced her instead," he relayed.  



In the same interview, Woo-seok was asked how he felt winning Best Couple Award with Hye-yoon at AAA 2024.

"With so many beloved dramas, winning Best Couple isn't easy. It felt even more meaningful because we received the award thanks to people appreciating my chemistry with Hye-yoon. It was also a way of recognizing our hard work on set, which felt rewarding," he remarked.

"Plus, it was great to see Hye-yoon again after a long time. She still radiates such bright energy, which made me happy."



The actor remarked that he hopes to work with the actress again in the future. "Hye-yoon is such an amazing actress, and I learned a lot from her. If given the chance, I’d love to work with her again in another project," he stated.

Woo-seok and Hye-yoon headlined Lovely Runner in 2024.

The series follows the star "Ryoo Seon-jae, a top star [who] ends his life and Im Sol, his top fan [who] somehow ends up at a time when they were in high school and tries to protect him. A fantasy romance unfolds where people who missed each other in time finally meet," as per its IMDb.
