Actor Byeon Wooseok is expected to appear as an award presenter at the largest K-pop festival, the '2025 K WORLD DREAM AWARDS,' which stands at the center of 'K-cultural power.'
The organizing committee of the '2025 K WORLD DREAM AWARDS' announced Byeon Wooseok's selection as an award presenter on the 29th through an official statement.
Byeon Wooseok, who debuted as a model in 2010, began full-fledged acting activities with the tvN drama 'Dear My Friends' in 2016. He gained public attention for his role as Won Hae-yo in the tvN drama 'Youth Record' in 2020, and through the KBS2 historical drama 'Thinking of You When the Flowers Bloom,' he won the '2022 KBS Acting Awards Best Male Rookie Award' trophy, which can only be received once in an actor's life.
He began to gain recognition overseas after starring as the lead character, Pung Woon-ho, in the 2022 Netflix film '20th Century Girl.' In 2023, he received praise for expanding his acting spectrum by displaying delicate emotional performances as the main character, Jin-woo, in the film 'Soul Mate.'
The tvN drama 'Lovely Runner,' which aired last year, holds a special place for Byeon Wooseok. By playing the lead role of Ryu Seon-jae, he gained both popularity and acting ability, thus establishing himself as a true star actor.
Interest in his next projects is also high. He has confirmed his appearance in the Netflix original 'Solo Leveling,' and in 2026, he is expected to meet global viewers in the MBC romance historical drama '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' alongside actor Lee Ji-eun (IU).
