[talk] Byun Woo-seok, the rising star of this year's TOP 4 actors

In 2024, the year of Gapjin, many stars were born through various works.

Among them, we picked four actors who have proven their solid acting skills and star quality this year and have risen to the ranks of popular actors. The main characters are actors Byun Woo-seok, Chae Won-bin, Go Min-si, and Heo Nam-joon.

Byun Woo-seok has become a popular actor through 'Carry On Sunjae' and has gained syndrome-level popularity!

tvN's 'Seonjae's Pick-up and Run', which ranked first in terms of topicality among dramas that ended in 2024, renewed its own highest viewership ratings every week when it was aired and received favorable reviews not only in Korea but also overseas.

According to global OTT Rakuten Viki, it ranked first in 133 countries overseas, including the US, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy, during the first week of its broadcast, and also recorded a high score of 9.1 out of 10 on IMDb, the world's largest content review site.

The American weekly news magazine Times praised 'Seonjae Upgo Twitta' as the best K-drama of the year, and on the global OTT Rakuten Viki, it ranked first for 6 consecutive weeks in 109 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, France, Brazil, and Mexico. The first OST, 'Shower', ranked 3rd on the Melon TOP 100 chart, a major domestic music site, and also entered the US Billboard's 'Billboard Global 200', which is unusual.

At the center of it all was Byun Woo-seok. He played the role of Ryu Seon-jae in the drama. With a face that contained the beauty of youth and a perfect physique, he perfectly embodied Ryu Seon-jae visually. He was not only called a 'romantic comedy genius' but also created a 'Seon-jae craze' and gained syndrome-level popularity. It's so great to be in the top 4.
