Student selling fish-shaped bread gains viral fame in South Korea

A male university student selling bungeoppang (fish-shaped bread) in Cheolsan-dong, Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, has become a viral sensation due to his striking resemblance to actor Cha Eun Woo.

The popularity of the street food stall has led to significant crowds, with customers reportedly waiting up to two hours to make a purchase. Social media users have nicknamed the student “Bungeunwoo,” a combination of “bungeoppang” and “Cha Eun Woo.”

The student, who is reportedly studying theater and film, is currently balancing his academic responsibilities with the increased physical demands and time pressure caused by the sudden surge in customers.
