Actor Byeon Woo-seok bowed at the airport and apologized before departing. It was an apology directed at the dozens of reporters who came to the airport to capture him, saying he would showcase airport fashion wearing the sponsored brand's full outfit.
On the afternoon of the 9th, the area in front of the departure gate crosswalk at Terminal 2 of Incheon International Airport was filled with reporters and fans. It was because they had received notice through the official publicity channel that Byeon Woo-seok would depart to attend a Chinese Beijing space opening event for a fashion brand.
In 2026 he was the hottest male actor and, with the release of a new work starring IU forthcoming, Byeon Woo-seok's airport fashion drew the attention of fans and reporters alike. Also, because it was a sponsored brand appearance and an official departure schedule through the publicity agency, expectations grew as the arrival time approached about how stylishly he would decorate the airport and deliver fan service.
But the reporters who had come to the airport to film him could not hide their surprise and awkwardness when Byeon Woo-seok appeared with his face covered by a mask. Although his top, bottom, shoes and hat may all have been provided by the sponsoring fashion brand, he had thoroughly covered his face with a mask.
Unusually, reporters repeatedly asked Byeon Woo-seok to take off his mask. They also loudly shouted that they had requested through the publicity agency that Byeon Woo-seok, who was waiting across the crosswalk, proceed with the airport fashion without a mask.
Byeon Woo-seok bowed and said, "I will definitely come without a mask next time," and then bowed. When the crosswalk light turned green, he moved toward the departure hall and, facing the reporters holding cameras, once again said, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry," to express his regret.
Of course, there would be no problem if he wore a mask while fulfilling an official sponsored schedule if the sponsor permitted it. The issue is simply that it was Byeon Woo-seok. Not only his fashion but every look and expression becomes an issue domestically and even abroad. The reporters who wanted to capture and deliver Byeon Woo-seok stylishly could not help but feel a lingering sense of disappointment.
