Since the release of Lovely Runner, actor Byeon Woo Seok has been the talk of the town, receiving accolades for both his heart-stopping visuals and his amazing chemistry with the female lead of the drama. But the actor unexpectedly gained popularity recently for a different reason.
Due to goods from his fan meeting event, SUMMER LETTER, Byeon Woo Seok became well-known. The Lovely Runner star’s selection of gifts for his fans generated conversation and laughter, mostly due to their comedic value.
Byeon Woo Seok’s Merch Goes Viral
With his recent performance bringing him to the peak of stardom, Byeon Woo Seok has embarked on his first Asian fan meeting tour, called SUMMER LETTER.
Ultimately, Woo Seok debuted as an actor in the drama Dear My Friends in 2016. After playing the supporting part in Record of Youth, which starred Park Bo Gum and Park So Dam as the main protagonists, he was offered the lead role in 20th Century Girl, which would pair him with Kim Yoo Jung.
But it was his depiction of Sun Jae in Lovely Runner—alongside co-star Kim Hye Yoon—that attracted a lot of notice, highlighting the character’s romantic and selfless qualities.
Exclusive merchandise is usually available for fans to collect at these fan gathering events, and Byeon Woo Seok’s tour is no exception.
But one product from his Seokprise clothing business has gone viral online thanks to its absurdly funny design, which has many people laughing out loud.
The product in question is a pop socket holder for cell phones that goes by the name “Smark Tok.” It prints the face of Byeon Woo Seok, but it has funny details like excessively red cheeks and shining skin that blend into the background in an absurdly overdone way, giving the impression that he is an egg.
Since then, admirers have discussed this amusing design on social media, showcasing Byeon Woo Seok’s carefree and lively personality.
To further heighten the design’s humorous effect and increase internet laughing, they have even taken it and photoshopped it onto a variety of different images.
