Byeon Woo-seok and Hye-ri were so close, “We met once a month and studied acting together.”

Actor Byun Woo-seok met actress Hyeri from the group Girl's Day.

On the 31st, a video was released on Hyeri's YouTube channel 'Hyeon's Club' titled 'The Byun Woo-seok incident, an incident that united the tastes of friends of 30 years'.

On this day, Hyeri introduced Byun Woo-seok as her "best friend" before his appearance. Byeon Woo-seok said, “It’s awkward because it’s my first time meeting like this,” and Hyeri also responded, “I always wear tracksuits when we meet, and this is how I look.”

Hyeri said she had a feeling it would be a hit after watching the first broadcast of the tvN drama 'Seonjae and Jump', which catapulted Byeon Woo-seok to stardom. He sent a congratulatory message, saying, "I felt it from the first broadcast," and "I knew it would do well, but I didn't know it would shake up Korea like this."

This is the first time the two have had drinks together. Hyeri said, "We see each other once a month, but we've never had a drink," and Byun Woo-seok said, "We have a meeting, and we eat, talk, and eat ice cream with our friends," drawing attention.

The reason Hyeri became close to Byun Woo-seok was during a past acting study group. Byun Woo-seok said, "I'm not the type to get close to people quickly, but Hyeri asked, 'Do you want to study?' “From then on, we became fast friends.” He also said that during the study period, Hyeri showed enthusiasm for acting by reading the script with the director every day.

Hyeri and Byun Woo-seok met on KBS 2TV's 'Think of the Moon When Flowers Bloom', which ended in 2022.
