Actress Jung Young Joo gushed about actor Byun Woo Seok’s charm on MBC’s variety show Radio Star.
The star, who appeared in Lovely Runner with Byun Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, shared a story about Byun’s struggles with emotional acting.
“At first, he was nervous about doing emotional scenes,” Jung Young Joo recalled. “There was this scene where he had to give Kim Hye Yoon this really romantic stare, but he got super flustered and shy. I remember telling him, ‘Just forget everything and fall for her in that moment.’ He said, ‘Actually fall for her?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely! Your eyes are so expressive, they can tell the whole story on their own.’ And guess what? They filmed it, and the scene turned out amazing.”
The actress also talked about the chemistry between the two. “People kept asking if they were actually dating,” she said. “Even now, they still ask. Byun Woo Seok once said in an interview that his ideal type is someone who is small, wise, and intelligent. That’s exactly like Hye Yoon. So I kept saying, ‘You guys should go out!’ whenever the mood was right. It seemed like they really liked each other in those moments. I love Sol and Sun Jae (Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok’s characters in the drama) so much.”
When asked about his charming points, Jung Young Joo said, “He has great eyes and proportions. He is emotionally rich as well. I once asked him, ‘Have you ever been in love?’ and he got so flustered and said, ‘Of course, I have!’ It was so cute.”
“He has experience, but in order to apply it to his acting, he has to bring up all those buried emotions,” she continued. “And he did that. That’s why I think Byun Woo Seok received so much love. He’s pure and doesn’t know how to lie, and it shows.”
