‘Trendy star’ Byun Woo-seok will be meeting with actress Han So-hee at the same brand. They will be working together as male and female models for casual fashion brand Giordano.

According to a Donga.com report on the 6th, Byun Woo-seok was recently selected as the new male model for Giordano. He will be appearing as the brand’s model alongside existing female model Han So-hee. Expectations are rising for Byun Woo-seok, who will show off his cool side as expected from a model, as he works with Giordano, which has employed contemporary youth stars as models.

Byun Woo-seok, who boasts a height of 190cm and proportions that seem to have stepped out of a comic book, debuted as a model in 2010. He expanded his scope of activities as an actor starting with the 2016 tvN drama ‘Dear My Friends’. He has been steadily building his filmography, appearing in dramas such as ‘Everyone‘s Romance’‘Record of Youth’‘When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon’’‘Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon’and movies such as ‘20th Century Girl’‘Soulmate’.

Byun Woo-seok rose to stardom through the tvN drama ‘Pick Up Seon-jae and Run’, which ended last May. To repay his syndrome-level popularity, he met global fans by holding his first Asia fan meeting tour.

As he has risen to stardom, he is also receiving a lot of love calls from the advertising industry. Byun Woo-seok is currently a model for various brands such as not only Giordano, but also Discovery Expeditions, Physiogel, NH Nonghyup Bank, LG Stand By Me, Clinique, Paldo Bibim Myun, Dashu, Baskin-Robbins, Tamburins, Illum, Ediya Coffee, and Kyochon Chicken. Recently, he was also selected as the global ambassador for the luxury brand Prada.

As much love he received, Byun Woo-seok also gave back to society through meaningful good deeds. The fact that Byun Woo-seok donated 300 million won to Severance Hospital at the end of last month to be used for pediatric treatment was belatedly revealed on the 5th, drawing attention.
