Korean actor Byeon Woo-seok is in the Philippines for his first fan meeting in the country.

In an interview with the Philippine media on Friday, June 21, Woo-seok expressed his excitement to finally meet his Filipino fans.

"It's so nice to be here in the Philippines finally and when I arrived in the airport yesterday ang daming fans na sumalubong sa amin and I was really thrilled and excited. [I'm] looking forward to all of it," he said as translated by the interpreter. 

Woo-seok is set to headline the "Summer Letter" fan meeting, produced by PULP Live World, at the New Frontier theater on Saturday, June 22.

The actor recently starred the K-Drama Lovely Runner which became a massive hit not only in Korea but also across the rest of Asia.

When asked how he is adjusting to his massive popularity and the attention he has been receiving nowadays, he replied: "Everything itself, my day to day, is actually a big surprise. It brings me amazement like yesterday also in the airport I saw a huge crowd. That itself was very amazing on my end and also being able to do this presscon itself is part of a dream come true kaya until now I'm still not used to this kind of attention but it is actually a dream."

Did he expect that Lovely Runner will gain such an enormous success across the region?

"The Lovely Runner was the first time that I was the main lead actor so while filming it and preparing for that drama I did not expect this grand success but of course I always had thoughts that as much as I was enjoying filming and preparing for the shoot every day, sana magustuhan din ng tao this wonderful project that I am working on. So basically all the crew, we're having the same thought na as much as we love what we are doing, sana 'yun din magiging response ng audiences and now [it's a] reality. I am very grateful that it is happening," he remarked.

In Lovely Runner, Woo-seok played the role of Ryu Sun-jae, a former swimmer turned singer.

On what kind of role he would like to portray next in his career, Woo-seok shared: "Before I got the Lovely Runner script, I actually wanted to do different kinds of roles, I had a lot of dreams but when I read the Lovely Runner script I fell in love with the character Sun-jae. Nung pagkabasa ko pa lang I can totally relate and actually I do love romantic-comedy so I am looking forward [to it]. Siguro I don't have a particular role or genre that I want to [do next] but siguro any kind of new project wherein pagkabasa ko pa lang [sa script] my heart is already in that story so I am looking forward and because I personally like romantic-comedy, siguro isa pang romantic-comedy na darating."

The actor was also asked on what were his preparations before his fan meeting. He highlighted that what he usually do is to prepare his heart and mind in making sure that he provides good memories to his fans.

"The biggest the preparation that I've been doing for the fan meet is not a particular thing that I specifically prepared for but basically my thoughts in my heart that sana lahat ng mga tao who are coming just to see me [and spending] their time, their money, and effort just to make the tomorrow happen, I wish that they would go home with good memories and sana ma-appreciate nila 'yung time na I am spending with my fans. So just having that thought and my wish that my fans will have as much as good time like I am, that's my biggest preparation that I've been doing," he remarked.
