May 29, 2024

Byeon Woo Seok, Kim Hye Yoon, Song Geon Hee, and N.Flying’s Lee Seung Hyub have expressed their gratitude following “Lovely Runner” successful conclusion!

Based on a popular web novel and penned by “True Beauty” writer Lee Si Eun, “Lovely Runner” is a time-slip romance drama that asks the question: “What would you do if you had the opportunity to save your ultimate bias?” Kim Hye Yoon stars as Im Sol, a passionate fan devastated by the death of her favorite star Ryu Sun Jae (Byeon Woo Seok), who goes back in time to save him.

Byeon Wooseok remarked, “Although I had dreamed that a moment like this would someday come, I never expected it to arrive at once so suddenly so everything still feels surreal.”

He added, “I lived as Sun Jae for over a year, and even now, I’m still overwhelmed with indescribable emotions. This drama was like a dream and was the most meaningful one for me, I hope it was the same for the viewers too.” He concluded by saying, “I’m so grateful to Sun Jae for coming into my life. In the future too, I ask for your continued interest and love for me, Byeon Wooseok. Thank you.”

Kim Hye Yoon shared, “I spent four seasons with Sol. Every moment of playing her was filled with joyful memories, and I was very happy. It’s such a pity that it’s ended now, but I want to thank everyone who loved Sol, a character I will always remember in my heart.”

She added, “It was an honor to play the bright and positive Sol, who perfectly embodies the phrase ‘iron hand in a velvet glove.’ During my time as Sol, I learned a lot not just as an actress but also as a person. Lastly, I want to thank everyone who loved ‘Lovely Runner’ and Im Sol. I will greet you with more diverse roles in the future, so please look forward to it and wait for me.”

Song Geon Hee, who received praise for his outstanding performance as Kim Tae Sung, who harbors an unrequited love for Im Sol, shared a heartfelt message on his blog: “Thanks to my role as Tae Sung in ‘Lovely Runner,’ many people have shown interest and support, which has been a great source of strength for me.”

He continued, “I’m still a novice actor with much to learn, but I would like to once again express my gratitude to those who view me with warmth and support. It’s hard to believe I could have such a precious experience in my life. The enthusiastic support from fans and the memories of our meet-and-greet events still linger with me.”

He added, “It was an honor and the most amazing moment in my life, and I wonder if I’ll ever experience something like this again. I’m truly grateful to everyone who loved the drama and for giving me a beautiful chapter of my youth to cherish and reflect on for a long time. Thank you for loving ‘Lovely Runner’ and Tae Sung. I promise to continue acting happily for a long time.”

Lee Seung Hyub, who starred as Ryu Sun Jae’s best friend Baek In Hyuk, shared, “We filmed for a long time, and it’s a pity that it’s already over. It feels even more regrettable because In Hyuk received so much love from the drama. I approached the filming with a sense of responsibility to do well at every moment, but once we started, everyone did it in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making it an even more memorable project.”

He continued, “It seems like more people have come to know me through ‘Lovely Runner,’ so I want to greet you with even better projects in the future. Along with my family-like members and N.Fia [fan club], I want to show my growth through my activities with N.Flying, both as an actor and as the leader of N.Flying. Lastly, thank you once again for loving ‘Lovely Runner’ and In Hyuk. Please continue to look forward to my future endeavors.”
