Byeon Woo Seok Attends VIP Movie Premiere in Seoul
On August 5, Byeon Woo Seok attended the VIP premiere of the movie “Victory” in Seoul. Many celebrities were present at the event and took photos at the photo wall. However, Byeon Woo Seok chose not to participate in the photo session and headed straight into the theater, avoiding photographers and reporters.
Impact of the Airport Security Controversy
This event was significant as it marked Byeon Woo Seok’s first public appearance since the airport security incident that occurred in July. At that time, his security team faced backlash for what was deemed “over-the-top” behavior. A viral video showed one of his security guards using a flashlight to prevent civilians from filming, which led to widespread criticism.
“It was the security guard’s fault for having shone the flashlight,” admitted the security team CEO. “We wish to deeply apologize for making civilians uncomfortable”.
Agency’s Response and Public Reaction
Despite an official apology from Byeon Woo Seok’s agency, the criticism continued. Eventually, Byeon Woo Seok’s agency decided to sever ties with the controversial security company. This move received mixed reactions from netizens, with some supporting the decision and others feeling the actor should also address the issue more directly.
Instagram Update and Public Sentiment
Following the controversy, Byeon Woo Seok also updated his Instagram after about a month, which garnered attention from his followers. Fans have expressed their support for the actor, noting his visible change in behavior and the apparent impact of the controversy on him.
“The way he lowered the other person’s hand when he was trying to guard Woo Seok shows how affected he is by the issue,” commented a netizen on Twitter.
