Byeon Woo Seok talks about What ifs from Lovely Runner, discusses Sol Sun Jae’s happy ending post finale

Byeon Woo Seok had a successful first day at his SUMMER LETTER fan meeting, captivating the audience so much that he was overwhelmed backstage and found comfort in the support of a staff member. His parents' presence made the event even more meaningful. During the fan meeting, Woo Seok shared his thoughts on how Sol (Kim Hye Yoon) and Sun Jae (his character in Lovely Runner) might live their lives together.

Byeon Woo Seok shared he has previously thought about how Sol and Sun Jae's future would look like, imagining they would live happily but with occasional bickering. He envisioned them being affectionate yet as Sun Jae does get occasionally jealous there will be some bickering, describing their life together as loving and harmonious.

When asked what would have happened if Sol had taken Sun Jae's car instead of Hyun Joo's in episode 1, Woo Seok explained that Sun Jae would have preferred Sol not to recall the moments when he rescued her and when she was in the hospital. Instead, he would have dropped her off and safeguarded her both up close and from a distance, just like the scene in the series where he watched her enter her house from afar.

When asked whether Woo Seok's arm hurt when it became a pillow for Sol in episode 2 during the rental store scene, or when carrying the bucket alongside Tae Seong, Woo Seok replied that his arm didn't hurt at all during the rental shop scene. He also performed several songs, including I'll Be There for the first time live, and also used the earpiece and mic gifted by fans to sing Loveholic. Woo Seok delighted fans with a magic show and danced charmingly recreating Stray Kids’ members Felix and Seungmin’s dance challenge during the event. He also recreated scenes from Lovely Runner with fans, adding to the excitement of the fan meeting.

"This summer has been endlessly shining and happy because I could meet Tongtongs who ran long distances for me, shouted loudly, and smiled brightly at me. 

Whatever direction our path takes and in whatever form it may be, I hope we can continue walking together for a long, long time, asking about each other's well-being just like now." He expressed gratitude for everything so far and promised to remain thankful in the future too. "And perhaps I love Tongtongs even more than you all think.
