Your wok/pan is made of untreated, pure steel. It has no chemical or other coating to ensure the best possible, authentic cooking behavior. For this reason, it is up to you to protect it from moisture and wetness.
The fact that steel rusts in connection with moisture is a 100% natural reaction.
Your wok/pan and moisture
