After captivating millions across Asia and cementing his status as one of South Korea’s most sought-after leading men, Byeon Woo-seok is preparing for a highly anticipated return to Manila—and this time, he's bringing an entirely new world with him.

The breakout star behind the global K-drama phenomenon Lovely Runner will reunite with Filipino fans this October as part of his exclusive 2026 Asia fan meeting tour, “The Secret Library,” a carefully curated experience designed to immerse audiences in memories, stories, and intimate moments shared with the actor.

The announcement was unveiled by VARO Entertainment through its official social media channels, instantly sending fans into a frenzy across the region.

For Manila, the date is set: October 10 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, where thousands are expected to gather for what could become one of the most talked-about Korean entertainment events of the year.

But this is far more than a standard fan meeting.

According to the tour's teaser, The Secret Library invites attendees into a nostalgic, book-lined universe where cherished fan memories are revisited and new chapters are written together.

The official poster showcases Byeon surrounded by towering shelves and literary treasures, reinforcing the event's elegant, storybook-inspired concept.

The Asian tour launches in Seoul on July 4 and 5 before making its way through an elite circuit of major cities including Bangkok, Yokohama, Singapore, Taipei, Manila, Jakarta, and Hong Kong.

For Filipino fans, the event also marks a highly anticipated reunion following Byeon's sold-out DAYDREAMIN’ Manila fan meeting in 2025—a visit that left audiences wanting more from the actor whose meteoric rise continues to reshape the global K-drama landscape.

Since skyrocketing to international superstardom as Ryu Sun-jae in Lovely Runner, Byeon Woo-seok has become one of Asia’s most influential entertainment figures. He further expanded his star power through Perfect Crown alongside IU, while earning praise for standout performances in Strong Girl Nam-soon and Record of Youth.

With demand for premium fan experiences reaching unprecedented heights and Byeon's global popularity showing no signs of slowing down, The Secret Library Manila is shaping up to be one of the year's hottest tickets—and one fans won't want to miss.
