On March 12, a Chinese blogger rekindled the speculation on the alleged involvement of the actor Choi Hyun-Wook in the case of drunk driving from Kim Sae-Se-Se-Se, causing a widespread online debate.
According to some sources, Choi Hyun-Wook, which was under the same management company (gold medal) like Kim Sae-S, was presumably with her at the time of the accident. However, the gold medal, which was actively promoting Choi Hyun-Wook, according to what was reported hidden on the man on the passenger seat. “Since Kim Sae-Se-Se was the guide, in the end the full responsibility for the accident took place, facing both the legal consequences and the public backlash.
Starting now, the Korean media have not reported any connection between Choi Hyun-Wook and the accident, and the request remains not verified by the authorities.
By adding to the debate, the Chinese blogger also said that, although presumably it was in the same car with Kim Sae-S during the accident, Choi Hyun-Wook did not participate in his funeral. This statement aroused bright discussions between the Netizen, with some questioned his absence while others defended him.
Shortly after the spread of the voices, the fans of Choi Hyun-Wook contrasted the statements by quoting an Ilgan Sports article published on February 12, who confirmed that he actually participated in the commemorative service. The article stated, “Choi Hyun-Wook arrived at the funeral house with a painful expression. After responding to the deceased, he left quietly. “
Despite these conflicting relationships, neither Choi Hyun-Wook nor did his agency deal with the accusations directly. Without official confirmation by the authorities or Korean media, the controversy remains a subject of speculation rather than a established fact.
