The Korea Times reports that Korean celebrities, particularly actors Choi Woo-shik and Cha Ye-ryun, are increasingly facing unverified online allegations about their past behavior. Choi recently became the subject of an online post alleging that he behaved rudely toward his manager during an in-flight meal service, but the claim has not been independently verified and some users have questioned its credibility.
Choi's agency, Fable Company, has warned against the creation and circulation of false rumors, stating that such actions are illegal and infringe upon the actor's reputation and rights. The agency is monitoring the posts in question and collecting relevant evidence, with plans to take legal action against those responsible.
