Actor Byeon Woo Seok had some special moments with his co-stars at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, leaving fans feeling all kinds of emotions!
On May 5, the highly anticipated ceremony took place at COEX Hall D in Gangnam, Seoul. Hosted by Shin Dong Yeop, Suzy, and Park Bo Gum, the event had many star-studded moments, but it was Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon who stole the spotlight.
The Lovely Runner couple won the Prism Popularity Award, much to the delight of fans who have kept the show close to their hearts, even though it aired over a year ago. Their win was no surprise as they were up against some of the biggest names in the industry but managed to take home the award by a wide margin. This was also their first official public appearance together since the 2024 Asia Artist Awards, and they didn’t disappoint with their sweet and playful chemistry.


After taking their group photo on stage, the couple shared a heartfelt moment, holding hands in a touching goodbye, signaling that their work on Lovely Runner was coming to an end. With new projects on the horizon, they are about to shift focus to their upcoming roles.
As they made their way out of the event, Byeon Woo Seok shared warm farewells with his fellow actors and staff. However, it was his interaction with IU, his co-star in the upcoming drama 21st Century Lady of the Great Prince, that grabbed attention. The two shared a shy handshake as they greeted each other, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming on-screen chemistry.
The pair will star in 21st Century Lady of the Great Prince, a fresh, romantic drama set in a fictional 21st-century version of Korea’s constitutional monarchy. The story will center around a rich woman frustrated by her lowly commoner status, and a prince who, despite being royalty, struggles to get what he wants. Together, they’ll explore breaking down social status barriers through love.
Fans who adored Byeon Woo Seok’s sweet romance with Kim Hye Yoon in Lovely Runner are now wondering what kind of romantic magic he’ll bring to his new drama with IU. Set to premiere in 2026, this project is already one to look out for!
