Byeon Woo-seok and Joo Woo-jae reveal a pose with their mouths covered

Actor Byun Woo-seok revealed his friendship with model-turned-broadcaster Joo Woo-jae.

On the 29th, Byeon Woo-seok caught the attention of netizens by posting a photo of him and Joo Woo-jae sitting side by side on a sofa on his Instagram with the caption, "What are Sol and Seon-jae?!" Sol and Seonjae are the names of the male and female protagonists of the tvN drama ‘Seonjae and Jump’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Seonup Bounce’). Byun Woo-seok plays the role of top star ‘Ryu Seon-jae’ in the play. In the photo, the two people caught people's attention as they were posing together in the 'mouth stopper' pose (short for 'cover the mouth').

It was presumed that Byeon Woo-seok and Joo Woo-jae were together watching 'Seonuptu'. This is because the photo was uploaded when episode 7 of ‘Sunup Twi’ was broadcast. Netizens who saw this responded, “It’s so heartwarming,” and “I want to watch it together in the middle.”

The two have something in common: they both had model backgrounds. Byeon Woo-seok, born in 1991, and Joo Woo-jae, born in 1986, revealed their height as 187cm in their profiles. The two appeared together as guests on SBS' 'Running Man' in 2022. Byun Woo-seok, who is enjoying great popularity with 'Sunup Twi', announced that he would appear on 'Running Man' after 2 years.

'Sun Up Twi', in which Byun Woo-seok appeared, soared to an average of 4.5% and a maximum of 5.3% based on households nationwide on the 29th, breaking its own highest viewer ratings in both the metropolitan area and the country. Although it boasted high topicality, it was disappointing as it failed to exceed the 3% viewership rating.
