In the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar Korea, Byeon Woo Seok graces the pages with a stunning photoshoot featuring Cartier’s Trinity jewelry, celebrating the brand’s 100th anniversary.
The five photos released on the 21st showcase Byeon Woo Seok’s diverse charms, from a refreshing boyish look in a hot pink shirt and rain boots, and a striped T-shirt, to a chic, all-black ensemble with a sophisticated expression. The photoshoot features Cartier’s Trinity jewelry, which harmoniously combines three rings of yellow gold, pink gold, and white gold into a single trio, is elegantly styled by Byeon Woo Seok, capturing everyone’s attention.
In the accompanying interview, the actor discussed his current success, saying, “It definitely doesn’t feel like a dream, but it feels like I’m dreaming. So many people recognize me and appreciate me deeply, even more than I could have imagined. I wonder if I’ll ever experience a moment like this again in my life.”
Reflecting on the final episode of Lovely Runner, he admitted to crying alone after receiving the script, overwhelmed by the thought of parting with the project. “There were so many beautiful scenes in episode 16. Even though Sol and Seon Jae were happy, I felt so sad that I cried my eyes out. It hit me that it was really the end. I guess I liked Seon Jae too much,” he commented. “After pulling myself together, I called the writer, and she felt the same way. We didn’t want to let go of Seon Jae or the drama. I’ll move on to other projects, but I’ll never truly part with Seon Jae. When I miss him, I’ll watch the drama again and keep him as a friend forever.”
The Lovely Runner star also shared what kept him going during his nine-year journey since debuting as an actor in 2016. “For a long time, I kept failing auditions and faced a lot of criticism. I doubted if this was the right path for me. It was tough. People say you must stick with something for 10 years to see results. So I told myself to give it 10 years. If it didn’t work out, I’d leave without regret. That mindset helped me endure.”
He continued, “I’ve always supported myself. There were many times when I was so upset that I cried on the subway after auditions. In those moments, I’d tell myself, ‘You can do this, Woo Seok. You’ve worked among so many models. Your opportunity will come. You’re a good person, so believe in yourself.’ I’m not a fatalist, but I believe there’s a reason why people end up where they are. Doing this interview, I realized how lucky I am. And in a way, I’m proud because I’ve lived my life earnestly.”
