Here's everything we learned about Byeon Woo Seok from his press conference:
He wants to do another rom-com series like Lovey Runner. He said he easily fell in love with his character there, Ryu Sun Jae, a former swimmer turned singer and actor. So, when it comes to the role he wants to do next, any new role or project that he'll also love the moment he reads about it would be worth doing.

His favorite dramatic scenes from Lovely Runner are… first, the episode when Ryu Sun Jae first confesses to Im Sol that he likes her ('That's my favorite scene,') he said through an interpreter; second is the episode where he is talking to his dad over an alcoholic drink and opens up about his past feelings; and lastly, episode 10 when he tells Sol that it's okay for him to die as long as he knows she likes him.

If he hadn't become an actor, he would've probably become… a coffee shop owner or an entrepreneur. Although he doesn't drink coffee, he said he likes to serve coffee. 'Siguro magaling din ako du'n,' the translator interpreted his playful answer.

He considers it a great achievement when people appreciate his characters. Byeon Woo Seok is overjoyed that the viewers loved Ryu Sun Jae, so he said that for his future projects, he would appreciate it if they would also fall in love with the new character he will portray. He revealed he has a new project coming out in a few months!

He credits the actresses he has worked with for the compliment he has received regarding having great chemistry with his co-stars. He said there's really no secret to him having good relationships with his co-actors. Chemistry is something that must be worked on together, after all, so he pointed out that it's a factor that he also met good actresses. He further said that perhaps it's their shared love and passion for the project that really connected them.

He's still adjusting to his sudden popularity. Byeon Woo Seok has been an actor for about eight years now; Lovely Runner is the first project that featured him in a lead role. It's amazing how well-received it was, resulting in a sudden boost in his popularity not just in Korea but also overseas. 'Everything itself in my day-to-day [life] is actually a big surprise,' he said, pointing out how surprised he was to see a huge crowd welcome him at the airport when he arrived in Manila.

He didn't expect the success of Lovely Runner. Although he, his castmates, and the crew were passionate about their wonderful project—so much so just being able to do it seemed rewarding enough—he admits they also hoped for good feedback on what they worked so hard on.

His goal for his fanmeeting is… for those who put in time, money, and effort to watch his show and make the event happen to 'go home with good memories.' That thought of his fans having as much of a good time as he has, he said, is his biggest preparation for his fanmeet.
