The 'Lovely Runner' star, Byun Woo Seok, is currently the talk of the town, not just for his role in the K-Drama but also for his past skinny figure.

His popularity is soaring, as evidenced by the 100,000 sign-ups on his Weverse within just two hours of its creation, and his guest appearance on 'Running Man' boosting the show's ratings.

The 32-year-old actor, known for his youthful looks and muscular build, actually started his career in the entertainment industry as a model.

Netizens recently unearthed some of his old modeling photos, and they were stunned by how different he looked back then.

The photos from a shoot years ago reveal a much leaner and boyish Byun Woo Seok, quite different from his current muscular image.

While he wasn't completely devoid of muscles then, they were much leaner, showing a clear physical transformation.

Netizens couldn't hide their surprise at his transformation, commenting:

"He's worked so hard, his body proportions are insane!"

"Sun Jae, you were so skinny. Are you eating well now?"

"Wow, you were really thin. How did you gain so much muscle? Your shoulders were as narrow as a door, it's really fascinating."

"Sun Jae still looks like a high school student, but he looked even younger during his modeling days. His handsome face with a constant smile was evident even back then."

"It's amazing how he maintained his proportions and bulked up. He used to be such a skinny model."

(G)I-DLE’s Miyeon made a surprise appearance as a new part-time worker, and her entrance had actor Yoo Seung Ho completely flustered.

On the May 10 episode of JTBC’s Battle! Paeng Bong Paeng Bong, Paeng Hyun Sook’s restaurant faced another loss against Lee Bong Won’s team — their second loss in a row.

As a result, Paeng’s restaurant was at risk of shrinking even more, while Lee Bong Won’s restaurant celebrated by earning a new signboard and even winning a snowflake shaved ice machine, ingredients included.

Just when things were looking bad for Paeng Hyun Sook’s team, Yoo Seung Ho received a mysterious letter. It read, “Don’t tell anyone and open this alone. Please.”

Inside, the message said, “Paeng Restaurant can now add a dessert menu. A new team member is waiting in the kitchen. Please come to Paeng Restaurant quickly.”

Yoo Seung Ho shared, “I felt really happy when I read that note,” and immediately rushed back to the restaurant. But as soon as he saw the new team member’s back, he froze — then stepped backward, shyly retreating.

When asked why, he smiled and confessed, “I liked it so much. I was shy and happy, so I came back out again.”

The new part-timer was revealed to be none other than Miyeon of (G)I-DLE. She came with a fish-shaped bread machine and looked ready to help rescue the struggling restaurant with a brand-new dessert menu.

However, Yoo Seung Ho couldn’t even talk to her properly. Miyeon, noticing his shy behavior, laughed and asked, “Why are you scared of me?”

Yoo Seung Ho replied honestly, “I was all sweaty, and in the evening my beard gets messy. I was in such a terrible state, so I felt embarrassed. But at the same time, I was really happy that someone came to help. Those two feelings came at once.”

Fans are now loving the adorable chemistry between the two stars and are curious to see if Miyeon can turn things around for Team Paeng!
