Byun Woo-seok became a successful fan of Son Heung-min

Actor Byun Woo-seok showed off a T-shirt signed by soccer player Son Heung-min.

On the 24th, Byun Woo-seok posted a photo of a white T-shirt on his Instagram story. The photo shows a photo of Son Heung-min along with the words "To. Byun Woo-seok."

Byeon Woo-seok expressed his intense feelings with a melting face emoticon along with the text 'Seongdeok' (short for 'successful nerd'. A person who is successful in a field he likes). The shirt brand is a fashion brand whose CEO is Son Heung-min's aunt Gil Seong-mi. When Byun Woo-seok posted the photo, the brand's official account also reblogged it, drawing attention.

Previously, Byun Woo-seok revealed in an interview at the end of tvN's 'Seonjae and Jump' that he was a fan of Son Heung-min. He made fans laugh by saying, "A long time ago, I ran into Son Heung-min on the street. I liked him so much that I ran to him and called him 'brother.' Later, I found out that he was one year younger than me."

Byun Woo-seok was born in 1991, and Son Heung-min was born in 1992. Netizens who saw the photo he posted left comments such as “You finally did it,” “Congratulations,” and “I’m jealous of Byun Woo-seok who got Son Heung-min’s autograph, and I’m jealous of Son Heung-min who signed Byeon Woo-seok.”

He is on a fan meeting tour in Asia. Fan meetings are scheduled to continue in Jakarta on the 28th and Singapore on the 30th. I will spend time with domestic fans in Seoul for two days on the 6th and 7th of next month. Thanks to his huge popularity, he confirmed an additional fan meeting in Hong Kong.
