Byeon Woo-seok Defeats Park Ji-hoon to Win “Ultimate All-Rounder Actor” Fan Vote

Byeon Woo-seok has officially claimed another major fandom victory.

The actor took first place in UPICK’s latest “Multi-Talented All-Rounder Actor” vote, beating several of Korea’s most popular rising stars including Park Ji-hoon, Rowoon, Hwang In-youp, Choo Young-woo, and Ahn Hyo-seop.

The global fan voting event, which concluded on May 21, was designed to recognize actors who stand out not only for acting but also for skills like singing, dancing, performance ability, and overall entertainer appeal.

The Competition Was Fierce Until the End

The vote quickly became highly competitive due to the lineup of fandom-heavy stars participating.

With idol-actors and streaming-era breakout names dominating the rankings throughout the event, online fan communities actively organized voting campaigns, ranking updates, and mass participation efforts across social media.

Despite the intense competition, Byeon Woo-seok ultimately secured the top spot, once again proving the strength of his growing global fandom.

One reason Byeon Woo-seok continues performing strongly in fan-driven polls is because his popularity now extends beyond traditional K-drama audiences. His fanbase increasingly overlaps with global fashion, variety show, and internet fandom culture, helping him maintain unusually strong engagement internationally.

The Winning Reward Is Huge

As the final winner, Byeon Woo-seok will receive a large-scale digital billboard advertisement displayed at the Lotte World Mall Art Canvas in Seoul, one of Korea’s most recognizable premium advertising locations.

Because of the visibility attached to the reward, many fans treated the event less like a casual popularity poll and more like a symbolic fandom battle.

Byeon Woo-seok’s Global Momentum Keeps Growing

The actor’s momentum has continued accelerating throughout 2026.

Byeon Woo-seok is currently preparing to meet international fans after becoming the only Korean actor invited to appear at Hong Kong Comic Con, one of Asia’s largest global pop culture events.

He is also set to appear in Netflix’s upcoming variety show ‘Yoo Jae-suk Camp’ premiering on May 26, further expanding his presence beyond drama projects. Byeon Woo-seok’s recent rise reflects a larger shift happening in Korean entertainment right now: audiences increasingly favor stars who can move naturally between acting, fashion, fan culture, variety entertainment, and global online visibility.

And at the moment, few actors seem to be balancing all of those areas as successfully as Byeon Woo-seok.
