Byeon did share what he's been listening to lately, reveals he is listening to End Of The Day by RIIZE, glancing at the group sitting beside him. He also added that he's currently into (G)I-DLE's Good Things. His playlists are as balanced as his performances. Whether it's curing Monday blues or casually flexing his music taste, Byeon Woo Seok continues to charm without even trying. And of course, the night wasn't just about nicknames and playlists—Byeon Woo Seok swept the stage with three major wins at ASEA 2025: Best Artist (Actor) – for Lovely Runner Fan Choice Artist (Actor) – for Lovely Runner Best OST – for Eclipse, featured in Lovely Runner Byeon Woo Seok's star power shows no signs of slowing down.
