"Record Of Youth" Star Byeon Woo-Seok Is Our Latest Crush
Like his character in this new series, the Korean hottie was a model first before he became an actor
Record of Youth premiered yesterday, September 7. Apart from the K-Drama's leading man Park Bo-gum, we can’t take our eyes off Byeon Woo-seok!
In the Monday-Tuesday show, which is available for download and streaming on Netflix, Park Bo-gum (Sa Hye-jun) and Byeon Woo-seok (Won Hae-hyo) are both models who aspire to become actors. Although they're following the same career path, the differences in their family backgrounds and financial circumstances lead to different opportunities for these childhood friends. The show is just two episodes in, but we're already loving the bromance between these characters.
The actor expressed his excitement and happiness to be a part of this project in a previous interview. “I became completely engrossed as soon as I got the script. I found the character so interesting, and I read the script feeling excited to know his relationship with family and friends,” he said. “I remember being in awe of the lines as I read.”
