Broadcaster Jang Seongkyu transformed into a lookalike of Byeon Woo-seok.
On the 21st, a video titled "Prepare to become Byeon Woo-seok (feat. Lee Sa-bae)" was uploaded to the "Manli Jang Seongkyu" channel.
That day Jang Seongkyu reunited with Lee Sa-bae, who in 2024 had transformed him into a lookalike of Cha Eun-woo. The PD asked, "Hyung, what's your Instagram profile picture right now?" and Jang Seongkyu replied, "Cha Eun-woo. Jang Eun-woo." The PD then said, "Isn't it time to change now?" and explained, "Today we'll do the makeup of the male lead Byeon Woo-seok from 'Perfect Crown'."
On hearing this, Jang Seongkyu laughed awkwardly and said, "Really? Not Byeon Woo-min but Byeon Woo-seok? It might be better to just change it to 'Byeon.' Do you think I can become Byeon Woo-seok?" After meeting Lee Sa-bae, Jang Seongkyu said, "I'm still using the profile picture you made of me as Jang Eun-woo as my Instagram profile picture. One of the most common DMs I get even recently is 'Who is in your profile picture?' I get that question the most. It's about time to change it. My profile picture has been the same for so long that I have a desire to try changing it to actor Byeon Woo-seok, but of course I trust your ability, and I don't want to cause any trouble for you," expressing concern.
Lee Sa-bae said, "We're not causing trouble; we're doing it out of fandom," and Jang Seongkyu confessed, "That's why I asked to be made into Byeon." Lee Sa-bae replied, "I can do that in literally three seconds. If you let me do that, I think I could get off work earlier," and added, "But Seongkyu, you grew your hair a lot. This part looks very much like Mr. Byeon. If you measure about five centimeters horizontally and five centimeters vertically here, this part looks like Mr. Byeon. It's very hopeful right now," showing a positive attitude.
Afterward, Lee Sa-bae proceeded with full Byeon Woo-seok cover makeup. After the makeup was finished, Jang Seongkyu, seeing his 180-degree changed appearance, could not hide his amazement. The PD was surprised and said, "The eyes are exactly the same," and Jang Seongkyu said, "It's amazing," adding, "I'll change my profile picture today." However, Jang Seongkyu's wife, painter Iyoo, saw him on a video call and delivered a cutting remark, saying, "He just looks like 'Byeon'," which caused laughter.
In particular, Jang Seongkyu went to Yongridan-gil while still in Byeon Woo-seok makeup. He impersonated him by telling passersby, "Hello, I'm Byeon Woo-seok," and performed an impression from 'Perfect Crown,' which drew laughs. Faced with pouring attention and a hot reaction, Jang Seongkyu said, "I should go around like this every day. Finally I'm getting attention," while also worrying about repercussions of the impersonation, asking, "But can I call this Byeon Woo-seok?" and "Won't Byeon Woo-seok sue me?" which added to the laughter.
Later, the production team confirmed a selfie showing Jang Seongkyu coincidentally meeting Byeon Woo-seok on the street and added, "Fortunately, we avoided a lawsuit through an amicable agreement," which brought cheer.
