I fully plan to watch tvN Mon-Tues rom-com No Gain No Love with Shin Mina and Kim Young Dae, just haven’t had time to start yet.

So I thought Byun Woo Seok would be the face of Clinique Men when it was announced the brand had selected him. Turns out he may still be doing the Men or the skincare line, but he’s also doing their makeup endorsement.

Once again, if Byun Woo Seok‘s agency is orchestrating these articles please stop. It’s turning his incredible rise thanks to Lovely Runner into overkill.
