On Thursday, January 2, the Queen of Tears actor Kim Soo-hyun took to his Bubble account to respond to a couple of fans' questions. One of the questions asked the actor about the hilarious interaction between him and Lovely Runner's Byeon Woo-seok at the 2024 Asia Artist Awards.
During the event, Byeon Woo-seok won the award for the Best OST category for the song Sudden Shower by ECLIPSE from the K-drama series Lovely Runner. ECLIPSE is a fictional band that's featured in the show, and Byeon Woo-seok was the main vocalist. Therefore, when the award winner was announced, Kim Soo-hyun got up to cheer for ECLIPSE.
However, many fans believed that the actor was unaware that Byeon Woo-seok represented ECLIPSE since Kim Soo-hyun clapped and searched for the winner even though Byeon Woo-seok sat beside him. Therefore, when a fan asked whether he knew who ECLIPSE is now, he hilariously replied, "who doesn't know that."
