Actor Byeon Woo Seok recently expressed his deep affection for the drama 'Lovely Runner' and his co-star Kim Hye Yoon.

Appearing on the May 22nd episode of tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block,' Byeon Woo Seok shared his experiences and feelings about the hit drama. He described being on the show as a sign of his success, saying, "I often wondered, 'Is this really for me?' When I received the invitation, I was surprised and thrilled."

'Lovely Runner' has had a massive impact on Byeon Woo Seok's life. Each episode garners significant attention, and he shared his excitement about it. "On the days the show airs, I wake up at 7:30 AM no matter how late I went to bed. The ratings come out at 8 AM. "

He added, "I check the news for mentions of 'Lovely Runner' and myself. Reading the comments makes my heart race. I can't go back to sleep because I'm so excited. After working hard for 8 or 9 years, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude."

He also spoke warmly about his co-star Kim Hye Yoon, saying, "I couldn't have expressed Sun Jae's emotions without Hye Yoon. Her genuine emotions helped me immerse in my character. Initially, I had visible energy on set, but it waned over time.."

He added, "People noticed and called me 'weak.' Hye Yoon took care of me, bringing snacks and jellies during winter shoots when we had to work in cold water. It felt like we shared a bond similar to being in the military".

The production of 'Lovely Runner' took three years, and Byeon Woo Seok expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. "Even though I was a new lead, the script came to me. I knew right away I wanted to do it."

He concluded by reflecting on his role and the future, "Sun Jae came to me after three years, and I'm so thankful. It's rare to find a character you love so much. This role is incredibly special, and now it feels like another new beginning. I want to meet the love I've received with even better performances. It feels like a new start."

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
