Actor Byeon Woo Seok, renowned for his role in the drama “Lovely Runner,” has found himself amidst swirling dating rumors involving Stephanie, a popular Korean influencer and freelance model. Allegations of their romantic involvement have surfaced with purported evidence dating back to 2022.
The speculation initially sparked when observant fans noticed a reflection of a woman in a photograph from Byeon’s outing with friends, identifying her as Stephanie. Further scrutiny pointed to an Instagram story Byeon posted from a cafe named Pacino in 2022, coinciding with Stephanie’s own photo from the same location.
Compounding the speculation, it appears that Pacino is frequented by acquaintances of both individuals, as evidenced by a photo shared by the cafe’s owner featuring Stephanie, a post that garnered Byeon’s like. Connections also extend to TV personality Jo Se Ho, whom Stephanie tagged in her cafe photo, with her pet subsequently appearing on Jo Se Ho’s Instagram.
Stephanie actively follows Byeon Woo Seok and several of his actor acquaintances, such as Choi Hyun Wook and Kim Hyun Jin. Fans have pointed out numerous Instagram posts by both parties showcasing similar locales, although the timing of these posts occasionally differs.
The intrigue deepens with shared thematic elements in their social media activities. Both have posted images of fruits Byeon expressed interest in consuming via Weverse DM, and they coincidentally shared photos of yellow flowers and lush greenery on April 30, 2022. Additionally, both visited the same gym and posted about trips to Jeju Island within days of each other in February.
The recurring appearance of Pacino cafe in their posts on the same dates has intensified speculations of a budding romance. While some supporters posit that Stephanie might simply be an avid follower of Byeon, mirroring his favored spots and interests, others interpret the shared activities and connections as indicative of a deeper relationship, especially given Stephanie’s ties within the celebrity sphere.
As of now, Byeon Woo Seok’s agency has refrained from commenting on the evolving situation, leaving fans and media outlets to speculate about the nature of their association.
