Byeon Woo-seok spotted enjoying Samgyetang amid unusual heatwave

Actor Byeon Woo-seok captured the attention of fans by sharing a glimpse of his simple daily life enjoying a meal at a Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) restaurant.

Recently, Byeon shared photos on his SNS showing him visiting a specialty Samgyetang restaurant. In contrast to the sophisticated image he portrays in his professional works and photo shoots, he displayed a friendly charm by appearing in comfortable attire, fully focused on his meal.

In the released photos, Byeon is seen wearing a zip-up hoodie, sitting at a table with a bowl of Samgyetang in a stone pot and a golden-brown roasted chicken. His focus on the food, picking up kkakdugi (radish kimchi) with his chopsticks, perfectly captures the unadorned atmosphere of his daily life.

In particular, the sight of him chewing with his cheeks full of food offers a different kind of charm compared to the refined image he usually presents in front of the camera. Even in his natural expressions and relaxed posture, his distinct features and handsome visuals remain striking.

As the seasonal transition begins to be felt in the mornings and evenings following Cheoseo (the end of the heat), his choice of a bowl of Samgyetang draws interest by showing him as an ordinary person living a normal life rather than just a star. As celebrities' SNS accounts have evolved beyond mere records of daily life to become direct channels for communicating with fans, such simple dining scenes are becoming content that builds intimacy with the public.

Byeon is an actor who started as a model and has steadily expanded his career through dramas and films. He particularly established himself as a next-generation star by gaining high recognition both domestically and internationally through the tvN drama "Lovely Runner."

Currently, he is preparing for a new transformation by taking on the role of Seong Jin-woo in the Netflix original series "Solo Leveling." As the work is based on the popular web novel and webtoon of the same name, attention is focused on the acting spectrum he will demonstrate in this genre that combines action and fantasy.

Stepping away briefly from glamorous stages and his various roles, Byeon's daily life focused on a bowl of Samgyetang shows another side of the star. It serves as a confirmation once again of the high public interest in him, which generates buzz even without special direction.
