CJ ENM, the organizer behind KCON, addressed the media on June 4th with a statement given to Newsen clearing up rumors: “Eclipse will not be performing at KCON. They are not scheduled for a performance on Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’ either.”
In unison, the “Lovely Runner” production crew further confirmed via Newsen that “The reports of Eclipse partaking in KCON are unfounded.” Similarly, actors’ agencies who are represented as Eclipse’s band members vehemently denied the group’s involvement in KCON.
Prior to these clarifications, Daily Sports had released an article suggesting that the Eclipse band members Byun Woo-seok, Lee Seung-hyup, Moon Si-on, and Yang Hyuk were in preparation for their appearance at KCON in Los Angeles this upcoming July.
Eclipse is a fictional band from the television series “Lovely Runner,” which aired its final episode on May 28th, featuring the lead character Ryu Seon-jae portrayed by Byun Woo-seok. Byun, who portrayed the main vocalist for Eclipse, won over the hearts of drama enthusiasts and music fans alike with his rendition of the “Lovely Runner” OST “Sudden Shower.” The track gained remarkable popularity, climbing the music charts and securing the No.5 spot on the Melon TOP 100 as of May 24th.
Riding on the success wave of the drama, Byun Woo-seok has been contemplating numerous offers with considerable discretion. He is currently deciding on his next acting venture.
Even before solidifying future roles, Byun Woo-seok has chosen to engage with fans through his debut solo Asia fanmeeting tour named ‘SUMMER LETTER’. The tour kicks off in Taipei, Taiwan, and is scheduled to advance through various Asian locales including Seoul, Bangkok (Thailand), and Hong Kong. Byun’s Seoul fanmeeting, spanning over two days at Jangchung Gymnasium on July 6th and 7th, evidenced his escalating stardom as tickets sold out promptly post-release.
