Byeon Woo Seok's fan was thrilled to spot the star at their lounge. Excitedly sharing a video, they expressed their disbelief at the coincidence of encountering Sun Jae (Byeon Woo Seok's character from Lovely Runner) at the lounge. They also noted in the caption that Byeon Woo Seok is remarkably tall in real life.
What caught the attention of others was the security guard accompanying Byeon Woo Seok, who shone his flashlight directly at the other passengers waiting in the lounge.
