Ji Chang Wook‘s agency said sorry for his recent indoor smoking incident.
On February 11, his agency, Spring Company, said on their website, “We’re sorry if actor Ji Chang Wook’s actions in a drama behind-the-scenes video from January 26 made anyone uncomfortable.”
They added, “In the video, Ji Chang Wook was seen using an e-cigarette indoors. This upset some people who thought it wasn’t right. Ji Chang Wook knows he shouldn’t have done it and is really sorry for letting people down. We’re really sorry to everyone who saw the video, the people who were there, the other actors, and the fans who love the show.”
The agency also said, “We’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again. We’re really sorry for worrying people with this.”
Before this, on February 10, a video of Ji Chang Wook smoking an e-cigarette indoors became popular online.
The video showed Ji Chang Wook with his ‘Welcome to Samdal-ri‘ co-stars at a table during practice. The title was, “Ji Chang Wook smoking indoors during a ‘Welcome to Samdal-ri’ practice video,” and someone said, “You should pay a fine too.”
Fans had different things to say:
“Agencies need to stop saying sorry for everything. That’s why some Koreans think they can control K-stars, like they own them.”
“They should have just stayed quiet. The .gif and the pictures didn’t prove anything.”
“Why do Korean agencys always say sorry, even when their stars didn’t do anything wrong?”
“I hope people will leave Ji Chang Wook alone now. He’s a person, he smokes, let it go.”
“They’re just being silly. Welcome to the real world 🌎”
“It wasn’t even a big deal, it was just someone not minding their own business, as usual 🙄”
“People just want to be upset. They must have nothing else to do!”
“I bet they just said sorry to make the complainers be quiet 🤣”
“I agree, they should stop saying sorry. It just makes people want to make more ‘scandals’ for their five minutes of fame on TheQoo, or somewhere.”
“There’s nothing wrong with smoking indoors. But JTBC should be more careful with their behind-the-scenes videos so the complainers can’t see it.”
