The spotlight hit during the latest episode of Yoo Jae Suk’s YouTube show Pinggyego, which starred IU and Byeon Woo Seok from MBC’s new drama Perfect Crown. Lots of comments under the video caught attention—not for drama, but for warm memories about the actor.

One commenter claimed he was a soldier under Byeon Woo Seok in the military. He said he was a private first class while Byeon Woo Seok was a sergeant.

“On the day he was discharged, I was having a hard time in the second-floor shower room, and even though we weren’t in the same platoon, he said something to me that I still remember to this day. He told me, ‘Don’t overthink things right now. I know you’re doing your best, so things will get better soon. Stay strong. I’m heading out now.’ Those words gave me strength throughout my entire military service.”

The soldier added,

“He had such a great personality, and seeing him do so well after his discharge makes me really happy. I was truly grateful back then.”

Another fan chimed in, saying they worked as Byeon Woo Seok’s on-site manager during the drama Live Up To Your Name.

“Back then, he hadn’t become famous yet, and I was about to quit my job as a manager and start a different one. After finishing a schedule, we had coffee at a café, and he told me, ‘I hope you succeed, too. Let’s both do well and meet again someday.’ He was such a kind actor, and I’m so happy to see him succeed now.”
