Choi Woo-shik Thanks Fans, Teases Return in New K-Drama
Choi Woo-shik is back—and he’s radiating boyfriend energy both online and soon, back on screen. The beloved Korean actor recently posted heartwarming photos on Instagram along with a sweet message directed at fans. With a new drama on the horizon, Choi’s updates are doubling as both fan service and a career teaser.
Casual Vibes, Serious Fan Love
On his official Instagram account, Choi Woo-shik posted a relaxed photo set captioned simply with, “Thank you, Neulpum.” (*Note: ‘Neulpum’ is a fan community name that roughly translates to ‘ever-growing’ or ‘always blooming’.*)
In the photos, the Parasite star is seen wearing a checkered shirt and jeans, chilling in a cozy café. Holding his smartphone, he gives a soft selfie smile that barely needed a filter. In another shot, he throws up a peace sign in front of a food truck, radiating the friendly, approachable persona fans adore him for.
Fans React: ‘King of Soft Charisma’
- “Choi Woo-shik is the definition of warm vibes.”
- “He looks like he walked out of a K-drama just to take selfies with us!”
- “Even the food truck feels blessed in his presence.”
Whether it’s his disarming smile or that effortlessly cool fashion sense, fans are eating it up. His unfiltered glimpses into daily life continue to deepen his reputation as a star who — despite international fame — remains grounded and lovable.
Back to the Screen: New Rom-Com Incoming
But Choi isn’t just here for aesthetic updates. He’s also confirmed his next project: SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Universe, Marry Me’ (Korean title: 우주메리미). Slated for an October premiere, the series promises romantic chaos, emotional layers, and of course, Woo-shik charm on full display.
In the drama, Choi will play ‘Kim Woo-joo,’ the sole heir to a famed Korean bakery business. As fate would have it, he ends up in a fake marriage with a character played by actress Jung So-min. Picture the K-drama magic: a 90-day contractual marriage sparked by a home giveaway sweepstakes, leading to all the romantic tension fans crave.
Why This Role Might Be a Game-Changer
Choi Woo-shik is no stranger to screen magic—from his sensitive role in Our Beloved Summer to the global acclaim of Parasite. But ‘My Universe, Marry Me’ might be his rom-com renaissance.
Pairing with Jung So-min, known for her witty delivery and heartfelt performances, this drama has the potential to bring out a more comedic and romantic side of Choi. Think less brooding hero, more lovable chaos—like if he mixed his Train to Busan adrenaline with Our Beloved Summer nostalgia.
Shooting Soon, Anticipation Rising
The drama is currently ramping up for filming, and fans are already buzzing. Social media is flooded with questions: Will this be the next big K-rom-com hit? Will Woo-shik’s character be more flirty or flustered? And most importantly—how many food truck selfies will he bless us with from the filming set?
Given the chemistry potential and whimsical premise, ‘My Universe, Marry Me’ might just be one of 2024’s most swoon-worthy TV moments.
