‘Rising Star’ Choi Hyun-wook, gossiping again… Have you forgotten your responsibility as a lead actor? [X:Sray]

(Xports News Reporter Kim Hyun-jung) Actor Choi Hyun-wook, who was on his way to becoming a rising star, brought controversy upon himself.

Recently, a street video featuring Choi Hyun-wook became controversial in an online community. In the video, Choi Hyun-wook is smoking on the street while holding hands with a woman and throwing cigarette butts on the street.

The citizen who was filming the video sighed at the crowd of people taking up space and expressed that driving was difficult.

When the controversy arose on the 5th, the agency said, “We acknowledge our mistake and are deeply reflecting on the part where we smoked, handled it incorrectly, and acted carelessly, which may have made you feel uncomfortable. We will strive to be careful in our actions in the future and show ourselves as self-respecting.””He said.

Choi Hyun-wook also released a handwritten apology.

He apologized, “I am sorry for disappointing my fans. Although I should approach every moment with responsibility, I have disappointed many people due to my careless actions.”

He also said, “I will humbly accept the criticism and advice you have sent me, and I will reflect on myself and work hard to show a more mature side in the future.”

This is not the first time Choi Hyun-wook has made a rumor.

Last year, a netizen posted on an online community an eyewitness account of seeing Choi Hyun-wook at a club hunting car.

This netizen said, “I was surprised to become a fan after ’25, 21′, so I stayed around and he seemed close to the MDs. He took a lot of pictures. The sight of him smoking a cigarette was also very sexy. At the end, he went out with a pretty older sister. I’m jealous. ‘ and it became an issue.

Afterwards, similar photos and eyewitness accounts continued to be posted online.

Choi Hyun-wook debuted in the web drama ‘Real: Time: Love’ in 2019 and enjoyed popularity as a rising star in ‘Racket Boys’, ‘Twenty-Five Twenty-One’, ‘Weak Hero Class 1’, and ‘DP 2’. In this situation, he found himself at the center of controversy due to two careless actions.

Born in 2002, he is only 21 years old, so I understand his desire to enjoy things freely, but as an actor loved by the public, his behavior lacks responsibility, which is disappointing.

Moreover, Choi Hyun-wook is currently appearing in the tvN drama ‘Twinkle Watermelon’. At the production presentation last month, he boasted, “It will be the best drama of the year.” However, the production team and fellow actors were also harmed by rumors that contrasted with the refreshing healing image of the drama.

Choi Hyun-wook apologized, saying, “I apologize once again to the drama director, writer, staff, actors, and many people who are with me.”It remains to be seen whether Choi Hyun-wook will keep his promise to reflect on himself and show his mature side.
