Byeon Woo-Seok is all set to bring double the excitement to the 2024 MAMA Awards as both a presenter and a performer. Known for his memorable role as Ryu Sun-Jae in the hit Kdrama Lovely Runner, Byeon will deliver a special performance of Sudden Shower, the show's emotional OST, which has already gained massive popularity among fans.
The MAMA Awards' official announcement, shared on November 12, confirmed that Byeon would perform this track on November 23 at Japan's Kyocera Dome in Osaka, just a day after he takes on presenting duties on November 22. This performance promises to be an exciting highlight for fans, especially since Sudden Shower is also in contention for Best OST at this year's MAMAs.
In Lovely Runner, Byeon’s character Ryu Sun-Jae is a top Kpop idol and the lead vocalist of the fictional boy band, Eclipse. Within the series, Byeon sang several tracks as Sun-Jae, with Sudden Shower quickly becoming a fan favourite. The song broke records on global music charts, making Eclipse one of the first fictional groups to achieve such widespread success.

Rising to global stardom with Lovely Runner, Byeon Woo-Seok’s journey in entertainment began as a fashion model before he transitioned into acting. His debut role in the 2016 drama Dear My Friends paved the way for his career, but it was his breakout role in Moonshine in 2021 that truly earned him recognition, even winning him a Best New Actor award.
Since then, Byeon has continued to impress audiences with lead roles in projects like 20th Century Girl and notable appearances in dramas such as Record of Youth and Soulmate. His chemistry with co-star Kim Hye-Yoon in Lovely Runner sparked both on-screen magic and off-screen dating rumours, further solidifying his popularity.
Fans of Byeon Woo-Seok are eagerly looking forward to seeing him perform Sudden Shower live, especially considering the song's emotional resonance and his deep connection to the character of Ryu Sun-Jae. This anticipated performance is expected to be one of the highlights of the MAMA Awards, an event that already promises memorable moments as it takes place over three days, with the opening night in Los Angeles and the subsequent ceremonies in Osaka.
