'Lovely Runner' actor Byeon Woo Seok is making headlines again, but not just for his acting skills.

The actor, who has captured hearts with his charming looks and compelling performances, has also caught the attention of fans for a rather unique reason: he seems to die a lot in his roles.

With his recent works showcasing a string of tragic endings, Byeon Woo Seok has now been given a special nickname by his fans: 'Baby Kap Soo,' a nod to the 'short-lived actor' Kim Kap Soo.

Byeon Woo Seok's latest drama, 'Lovely Runner,' airing on tvN, has made waves, especially with his recent roles involving tragic endings. His death scenes have become a talking point among fans.

In the 2022 Netflix film '20th Century Girl,' Byeon Woo Seok played Pung Woon Ho, the first love of Bora (played by Kim Yoo Jung).

His heartfelt line, "I miss you, you of the 21st century," touched many, but his sudden death in New Zealand left audiences in shock.

In the 2023 JTBC drama 'Strong Girl Nam-soon,' Byeon Woo Seok took on the role of the villain Ryu Si Oh, a drug dealer. In a dramatic turn, Ryu Si Oh ends his life by shooting himself under police pressure.

Fans have humorously noted Byeon Woo Seok's '3 deaths and 1 coma' record in 'Lovely Runner.' His character, Ryu Sun Jae, dies unexpectedly in the first episode and later falls into a coma after a serial killer attack.

'Lovely Runner' has been the top TV-OTT drama for three consecutive weeks as of mid-May. Byeon Woo Seok and his co-star Kim Hye Yoon have also held the top two spots in the cast buzz rankings for three weeks straight.

The show has dominated the viewership ratings for men and women aged 20-49 for seven weeks across all channels in its time slot.

The show's popularity is evident with its global fanbase, recent pop-up store event, and group viewing of the final episode.

Fans jokingly say, "The more Byeon Woo Seok dies, the more popular he becomes." With just two episodes left, viewers are eager to see if Byeon Woo Seok's character will finally get a happy ending and if he can shed his 'Baby Kap Soo' nickname.

Singer Gummy showed her dedication as a mom by turning down drinks to take care of her child!

On May 9, a new video was uploaded to the Jip Daesung YouTube channel, featuring Gummy and hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo as guests.

When the food arrived, the staff told Dynamic Duo they could order alcohol, with Daesung adding, "This is all for the guests' comfort!"

Choiza then politely offered Gummy the choice, saying, "Let’s drink whatever Gummy wants." But the singer quickly declined, explaining, "I can’t drink today—I have to pick up my daughter."

Things got a little awkward when Daesung, the youngest, brought out soju. As he hesitated over who to serve first—Choiza or Gaeko—Gummy playfully scolded him like a mom, asking, "How do you even survive like this?"

Choiza joked, "Gummy got over her awkwardness after having a kid," but Gummy clarified, "I was never like this to begin with!" Laughing, Choiza admitted, "Actually, Daesung seems even more awkward than Gummy."

Daesung then shared a funny confession: "My sister says I have ‘beggar’s disease’—if I mess up on stage, I can’t stop thinking about it."

Choiza teased, "People around those with ‘beggar’s disease’ have it easy because they’re always reflecting on themselves."

Gummy disagreed, saying, "No, it’s actually hard to deal with them!"—only for Choiza to fire back, "You have it too!"

As Daesung kept goofing around, Gummy groaned, "Ugh, why are you making me want to drink so badly?"

Choiza suggested, "Just let your husband handle pickup today!" Though Gummy admitted, "Jo Jung Suk could do it," she still stuck to water, proving her commitment to mom duties!

Fans loved seeing her responsible yet relatable side—what a queen!
