On the May 9 broadcast of MBC variety show The Manager (Omniscient Interfering View), Lee Yeon appeared as a guest and talked about her experiences working in the entertainment industry.
During the episode, comedian Hong Hyun-hee suddenly asked Lee Yeon the question many viewers were curious about: “Is Woo Seok really that handsome in real life?”
Without hesitation, Lee Yeon immediately replied, “He’s really handsome.”
She then shocked the cast by talking about Byeon Woo Seok’s overwhelming height and proportions.
Lee Yeon explained, “He’s really so tall that every time I meet him, I ask, ‘Honestly, aren’t you over 2 meters tall?’ It feels like he gets taller every time I see him. The height difference feels so unfamiliar.”
Her comments quickly caused laughter in the studio.
Host Song Eun-i noticed the suddenly intimidated reactions from Yoo Byung-jae and Yang Se-hyung, jokingly asking why the two looked discouraged after hearing about Byeon Woo Seok’s proportions.
When Jun Hyun-moo teased that the two men could simply combine their heights together, Yang Se Hyung jokingly responded, “Together we’re 187 cm.” The unexpected comment immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
Byeon Woo Seok has frequently gone viral for his model-like physique and striking visuals ever since his rise in popularity through dramas such as Lovely Runner and Perfect Crown. Standing at approximately 190 cm, the actor is widely known for his unusually long legs and small face proportions that often make him appear even taller onscreen and at public events.
Many fans online reacted to Lee Yeon’s comments by saying that almost every celebrity who meets Byeon Woo Seok in person seems surprised by how unreal his proportions look in real life.
As Byeon Woo Seok’s popularity continues growing internationally, even casual mentions about his visuals and physique are quickly becoming viral topics among fans and Korean online communities.
