One thing is now generally known about actor Choi Hyun Wook, who starred as Moon Ji Woong in the hit tvN drama "Twenty Five Twenty One" and made his name and face well-known.

Choi Hyun Wook went on MBC FM4U's "2 O'Clock Date with Muzie & Ahn Young Mi" last month and discussed his past, which led him to become an actor.

Choi Hyun Wook stated at the time, "I sobbed a lot while watching a movie, and my friends who observed it asked me how it would be if I attempted acting".

He added, "I then transferred to Hallym Arts High School while attending an acting academy".

Choi Hyun Wook was a standout member of the baseball teams at Suwon Buk Middle School and Gangneung High School.

Choi Hyun Wook participated in the 46th Presidential National Middle School Baseball Tournament in 2017 while attending Suwon Buk Middle School.

He earned a reputation for himself by becoming the "Stolen Base King". Choi Hyun Wook's Gangneung High School baseball team features Lotte Giants pitcher Kim Jin Wook and others.

Meanwhile, Choi Hyun Wook has been cast in the original wave drama "Weak Hero". Expectations are rising for Choi Hyun Wook's new look in "Weak Hero", after he was praised for his sneaky and three-dimensional performance in "Twenty Five Twenty One".

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
