Actor Byeon Wooseok delivered an unforgettable Christmas gift to fans this year with "The Christmas Song."
Recently, actor Byeon Wooseok teamed up with Google Gemini and Dolphiners Film director Shin Wooseok to present a fairy-tale–like Christmas miracle. In Shin Wooseok's urban fairy tale "The Christmas Song" (Part 1, 2, 3), Byeon Wooseok played the lead role of Father Vincenzio, and his intense performance added depth to the work. This project by Byeon Wooseok has become a special "surprise gift" for fans who generously supported him throughout the year, drawing a strong response.
In the story, the Father Vincenzio portrayed by Byeon Wooseok was abandoned at a cathedral as a child and raised under the care of Rafaella (played by Karina), but he ultimately suffered the deep wound of being abandoned again. Byeon Wooseok depicted the pain of a heavy character with a delicate emotional line while also guiding the breath of the character by unfolding Vincenzio's narrative of overcoming and forgiveness step by step across Parts 1, 2 and 3.
Especially in the final Part 3, "Bincent," after hearing his birth mother's confession, the tears that pour out as if representing his accumulated pain and the quiet voice and smile he gives to his mother as she leaves the cathedral saying "Merry Christmas" convey Vincenzio's forgiveness and decorate the ending. In this long-form music video, Byeon Wooseok's emotional acting expressed through his eyes evoked praise that makes viewers feel pain, poignancy and consolation.
Also, Byeon Wooseok personally sang the project's main theme song "The Christmas Song," releasing the track on the 15th and raising its completeness. This participation in the recording was reborn in Byeon Wooseok's voice and became a priceless Christmas gift for fans at year-end. With his own sweet tone he conveyed warm sentiment and maximized immersion in the music video. The dramatic visuals of Dolphiners Film director Shin Wooseok, Byeon Wooseok's voice and Vincenzio's narrative combined to provide an immersion like watching a short film.
Meanwhile, the Google Gemini commercial released on the 11th sensually carried on the music video's worldview and highlighted a new side of Byeon Wooseok. Appearing as a priest who combines warm sentiment and wit, he suggests special inspiration for a magical year-end using Gemini. His diverse expressions and deep acting in the commercial have warmed fans going through the cold winter and are receiving great love.
Proving a unique power that spans drama, music and advertising as a single project, Byeon Wooseok is currently filming MBC's new Friday–Saturday drama "21st century daegunbuin," slated as the most anticipated work of the first half of 2026. "21st century daegunbuin" is a status-breaking romance set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy Korea that depicts the conflict and love between Seong Hee-ju (played by IU), a chaebol who has everything but whose status is commoner, and Crown Prince Ian (played by Byeon Wooseok), the king's son who can have nothing. Interest and expectations continue for the new face Byeon Wooseok will show in the roles of Crown Prince Ian and Lee Wan.
