When we say Byeon Woo-seok is a green flag, we mean it. During the press conference for his fanmeet with Philippine media, the K-drama actor personally handed out flowers to each member of the press with a special message accompanying them. He didn’t need to do that, but he did, and he’s a king for that.

K-drama lead, movie star, and knows Tagalog? We might have to upgrade our stan card to the platinum tier. We love how Byeon Woo-seok seemingly understood what host Kring Kim was saying in Tagalog rather than English.
