'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.

BTS member Jin is finally back, and fans can’t stop talking about his new music video.

On May 16, Jin dropped his second mini album Echo, and the title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” is already making waves — especially because of the emotional scenes with actress Shin Se Kyung.

The MV is shot like a drama, showing powerful yet soft acting between Jin and Shin Se Kyung. Their natural eye contact, emotional scenes, and quiet chemistry have left fans saying, “Are they a real couple?” and “Please cast them in a real drama next time!”

But while their chemistry looked perfect on screen, Jin revealed that he was actually super nervous behind the scenes.

In a recent interview, Jin shared, “It was my first time acting with a professional actress, so I was really awkward and clumsy. I was so nervous that things didn’t go as I imagined.”

Still, he praised Shin Se Kyung for helping him through the scenes. “I was very thankful to Shin Se Kyung for her passionate acting. If you look closely, you might catch me looking awkward,” he said, laughing.

Jin also shared a funny moment during filming: “There was one scene in a parking lot, and the wind was blowing like crazy. My hair kept flying everywhere, and I couldn’t act properly. We ended up changing my hairstyle to finish filming.”

His new album Echo tells honest stories about love, friendship, choices, and emotions we feel in everyday life. Fans are touched by how personal and heartfelt Jin’s songs and acting are in this comeback.
