In celebration of Korea's Children's Day, which was observed earlier this year on May 5, 2025, the organizers decided to surprise both the audience and celebrities with childhood images of a few stars. This heartwarming segment added a layer of nostalgia and fun to the evening, making it even more memorable.

The star of this unforgettable moment was none other than Byeon Woo Seok. His childhood photo, featuring a cheeky and playful pose, stole the show.

The angle of the photo captured him slightly tilted to the side, with a mischievous smile and an arm raised in mid-action, giving it a candid, almost impish feel. It was the perfect embodiment of his youthful energy.

When Byeon Woo Seok recreated the same pose on stage, fans couldn’t help but smile at how effortlessly he mimicked his childhood charm.

His boyish energy and mischievous charisma were as strong as ever, making him even more endearing to his fans.
