BRIIZE, there's someone competing with you for the #1 RIIZE fan spot, and it is none other than Byeon WooSeok!
Byeon WooSeok is easily one of the most popular and sought-after actors in the Korean entertainment industry right now. Currently appearing on the K-Drama "Lovely Runner", Byeon WooSeok has us swooning left and right over his gorgeous visuals, masculine charm, and endearing personality.
However, there's a side to him that many new fans may not know. The actor is a huge fan of the 5th generation K-Pop boy group RIIZE and a successful fan, too! How did this crossover happen, you ask?
Well, according to Byeon WooSeok himself, he had been keeping an eye out for the new SM boy group since it was announced. When RIIZE debuted with a song that matched his musical preferences perfectly, he became a fan of the group.
After entering the fandom, when Byeon WooSeok served as a special MC for the 2023 MAMA Awards, he openly declared his love for RIIZE, expressing his wish to meet them. Luckily enough, not only did Byeon WooSeok meet and take a picture with RIIZE that night, but he also took a picture with RIIZE's Anton, who is said to be his doppelganger!
Recently again, when Byeon WooSeok appeared on MBC FM4U’s "Your 2PM Date With JaeJae", he shared that he had fallen in love with RIIZE at first sight, and he was thrilled that people thought he and RIIZE's Anton, his bias, looked alike.
When asked to send a message to RIIZE's Anton through the show, Byeon WooSeok was nervous but giddy as he promised to cheer him on when RIIZE makes a comeback. RIIZE's new song 'Impossible' is slated for release tomorrow, so we will definitely be looking out for Byeon WooSeok's reaction to the same.
With Byeon WooSeok being dubbed as the BRIIZE President, BRIIZE are supporting "Lovely Runner" wholeheartedly as well.
Now, in addition to looking alike, we have noticed that Byeon WooSeok & RIIZE's Anton have a few other things in common. Check them out below!
1. Boyfriend Fashion
Both RIIZE's Anton and Byeon WooSeok are known for rocking the boyfriend look. From baggy fits and beanies to tailored suits - both men have a similar sense of fashion and styling. There's just something about being tall and handsome with broad shoulders that you want to lean on that makes this style look even better on them and we just can't get enough.
2. Swimming
Byeon WooSeok plays Ryu SunJae in "Lovely Runner", who is a swimmer turned idol. In case you didn't know, RIIZE's Anton used to be a competitive swimmer and even dreamed of becoming a professional swimmer! Byeon WooSeok is also a great swimmer, and he mentioned that he practiced a lot for "Lovely Runner", which shows in how flawless his swimming scenes are. No wonder both Byeon WooSeok and RIIZE's Anton have a swimmer's physique.
3. Stage Presence As Idols
Like we mentioned, Byeon WooSeok's character Ryu SunJae is a K-Pop idol, and in the very first episode, we see clips of him performing at a concert. The actor looked relaxed yet excited and had an effortless air about him. You know who else has a similar vibe? RIIZE's Anton, of course. As a matter of fact, we wouldn't be surprised if Byeon WooSeok looked to Anton for some idol inspiration.
4. RIIZE's Anton & Byeon WooSeok's Personalities
RIIZE's Anton has a playful and soft personality. He can be shy at times but is also sassy. He attracts love and attention even when he's sitting still. He is soft-spoken, kind, and speaks with intention. The same goes for Byeon WooSeok. Byeon WooSeok is adorably shy and humble, but he can also be mischievous with his co-stars when they get close. He loves to smile and radiates warmth like sunshine. Byeon WooSeok is also very careful and considerate with his words.
5. Prettiest When They Smile
Byeon WooSeok and Anton have a captivating, mysterious, and charismatic image when they have a serious face on. However, when they smile, like Bruno Mars said, "the whole world stops and stares for a while". Both Anton and Byeon WooSeok have the most gorgeous smiles and they truly look the most beautiful when they're smiling. We hope they'll both always have many reasons to smile.
