Actor Ji Chang Wook is in the spotlight for an unexpected reason—a notebook incident that’s led to some controversy.

On the 5th, Ji Chang Wook’s agency, Spring Company, made a public appeal titled "Looking for the Person" on their official account.

The agency said, "We’re trying to find the fan who had their signed notebook taken during Ji Chang Wook's stage greeting for ‘Revolver’ on August 7th." They added, "If you are the owner of the notebook or know who they are, please get in touch with us."

They explained, "We didn’t notice the hand reaching for the notebook at the time, and we apologize for any confusion."

The situation began on July 7th during a stage greeting for the film ‘Revolver,’ where Ji Chang Wook signed a notebook for a fan. However, Ji Chang Wook accidentally left the event holding the signed notebook, which led to some confusion. The notebook’s owner later managed to retrieve it at another screening.

This mix-up has led to what’s now being called the "Ji Chang Wook character controversy."
