On the 4th, a video featuring IU and Byun Wooseok was released on the Youtube channel 'Ddeun Ddeun.'

In the comment section of the video, there are numerous heartwarming stories about Byun Wooseok. Someone who claimed to have worked as a manager on the set of the drama 'Live Up to Your Name,' in which Byun Wooseok had a minor role in, commented, "At the time, Byun Wooseok hadn't made it big yet. I was about to quit my job as a manager to start something else. After the schedule, we had a coffee at a cafe and he told me, "Hyung, I hope you do well. Let's meet again when we've both succeeded.' He was such a kind actor. I'm really happy to see him succeed now."

The person continued, "Wooseok-ah, even though I failed and probably can't keep the promise to meet again after succeeding, I'm so glad you made it. I will keep rooting for you to become an even more successful actor in South Korea! Fighting!"

Another person who claimed to be Byun Wooseok's junior from the military also shared a story. The commenter, identified himself as Byun Wooseok's junior from the 37th Division Headquarters, recalled, "At the time, I was a private first class and he was a sergeant. On the day he was discharged, I was going through a difficult time in the second-floor shower room, and even though we were in different platoons, he said something to me that I still remember."

He added, "He told me, 'Don't overthink things right now. I know how hard you're working, so things will get better soon. Hang in there, I'm heading out.' Those words were a huge source of strength throughout my military service. I was truly grateful then. I hope he becomes even happier. Salute."

As these stories flood in, netizens are reacting with comments like, "He must've really lived a good life," "He seems like a genuinely good person," and "There's a reason he succeeded. As expected, things will turn out good for people who are kind."

Meanwhile, Byun Wooseok will meet viewers through the new MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which premieres on the 10th.
