From Runways to Rom-coms: Byun Wooseok’s Meteoric Rise

Byun Wooseok may have started out as a model in 2010, but his acting career officially launched with the 2016 TV drama Dear My Friends. He first gained major recognition in Record of Youth (2020), playing the charming yet complex Won Hae-hyo. Then came his breakout moment—the historical K-drama Moonshine (2021), which earned him the coveted Best New Actor award at the KBS Drama Awards in 2022—an honor you can only win once in your career.

Going Global with Netflix Hits

In 2022, he starred in Netflix’s 20th Century Girl, taking on the role of Poong Woon-ho and making waves with international audiences. His emotional depth shone again in the 2023 film Soulmate, portraying Jinwoo with a tender touch that expanded his range as an actor.

What’s Next? Netflix and a Royal Comeback

The buzz isn’t slowing down. Byun is confirmed for the Netflix adaptation of webtoon mega-hit Solo Leveling, and come 2026, he’ll team up with IU (Lee Jieun) in 21st Century Royal Consort, an MBC romantic historical drama that’s already making international fans swoon before it even airs.
