Korean Star Byeon Woo-seok Returns to Singapore for ‘Secret Library’ Fan Meet

Byeon Woo-seok, the actor behind the breakout romance “Lovely Runner,” will bring his “The Secret Library Asia” fan meeting to Singapore on September 18 at The Star Theatre. The event marks the South Korean star’s first visit here in two years and offers fans a rare chance to meet him in person. Tickets go on sale in early July via Ticketmaster, with presale access for members of his official fan club.

From Model to Leading Man

Byeon Woo-seok began his entertainment career as a fashion model before transitioning to acting in 2016. He shot to stardom in 2024 with his first lead role as Ryu Sun-jae—a former swimmer turned K-pop idol—in the hit romance series “Lovely Runner.” The drama’s original soundtrack, “Sudden Shower,” which Byeon performed, became an unexpected chart success, landing on the Billboard Global 200.

He continues to cement his status as one of South Korea’s rising stars. His recent drama “Perfect Crown,” co-starring singer-actress IU, became one of MBC’s highest-rated Friday-Saturday programs. Next up, Byeon is filming Netflix Korea’s live-action adaptation of the webtoon “Solo Leveling,” playing the lead role of Sung Jin-woo—a casting widely regarded as one of the most anticipated K-drama announcements this year.

What’s in Store for Fans

The fan meeting promises interactive moments and exclusive merchandise. Ticket prices range from S$148 to S$268, and every purchase includes two Singapore-exclusive photocards. Beyond that, attendees can compete for limited perks:

  • Hi-bye session (meet and greet)
  • Group photo opportunity
  • Signed polaroids or posters (depending on luck)

The event is part of Byeon’s broader “The Secret Library Asia” tour, which has already drawn large crowds in other markets.

How to Secure Your Spot

Registration for the official fan club presale—Woo Che Tong 1st Membership (Global)—is open now on Weverse until July 2 at 11:59 p.m. (Singapore time). Presale tickets will be available from 2 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on July 9, exclusively for registered members. General ticket sales begin at 2 p.m. on July 10, both via Ticketmaster.sg.

Fans should act quickly: Byeon’s previous Singapore fan meeting in 2022 sold out rapidly, and demand for the “Lovely Runner” star has only grown since.

Broader Impact

Byeon Woo-seok’s continued rise reflects the expanding global appetite for K-drama and K-pop-adjacent talent. With “Solo Leveling” set to premiere on Netflix—a platform with a massive international subscriber base—the actor is poised to reach audiences far beyond Asia. For Singapore fans, the September meetup offers a rare preview of a star on the verge of even greater fame.

Next steps: Register for the presale on Weverse before July 2, mark your calendar for July 9 (presale) or July 10 (general sale), and prepare to meet Byeon Woo-seok in person this September.
