While the actor was quick to pull out the photograph, it didn’t help him much. Several users questioned if the ‘Twinkling Watermelon’ actor didn’t double-check the photograph. On the other hand, several users lashed out at users sharing the screenshots, given that it was an accident. “Choi Hyun Wook is only 22 and he is not problematic so the way yall are laughing and posting clearer version of a young boy is such a shi**y behaviour.” Meanwhile, other users pointed out that once something is out on the internet, it is out. “This is the internet girl… once something is out there, it is out there. there’s no turning back once something has been put out there. and you can’t really convince the internet to have some compassion or respect towards someone, especially when it’s something like this.”

Choi’s disregard of no-smoking rules in certain public areas in Seoul drew heavy attention.
