Choo Young-woo, known for his roles in Severe Trauma Center and Ok's Wife Exhibition, has sparked a fan debate after it was revealed that he followed a streamer with past sexual harassment allegations on Instagram. Screenshots showing his follow list circulated online, drawing attention to the presence of the controversial account.
While some fans support Choo, arguing that censorship of celebrities is excessive, others have raised concerns about his associations. The actor recently topped the Dish Trend voting platform as the best male actor, further intensifying the media spotlight on him.
This controversy follows similar incidents involving actors Kim Sung-chul and Kim Min-seok, who faced backlash for participating in a problematic vote. Both actors apologized through their agencies for their involvement in the vote that evaluated the bodies of girl group members.
As Choo Young-woo prepares for his upcoming role in Gyeonwoo and the Fairy, the fallout from his social media activity raises questions about the impact of personal actions on career opportunities.
