Choi Hyun Wook sparked controversy after throwing out the first pitch at a KBO match on October 9, 2025 at Incheon SSG Landers Field in South Korea. The actor was the guest star who threw out the first pitch.
Choi Hyun Wook is known to have played baseball throughout high school. He was given the opportunity to open the game by throwing the ball. Hyun Wook threw at high speed, but the ball flew and hit a child in the batting position.
The incident happened so fast that it nearly hit the child in the head. "Because there was a small child standing there, I should have thrown the ball slowly and from a short distance, but I failed to think about that.
I'm truly sorry," said Choi Hyun Wook. After the match, Choi Hyun Wook immediately wrote an apology to fans and stated that he would contact the child's parents. "I was very nervous yesterday, and the ball was slippery.
If I could contact the child and his parents, I would apologize," Choi Hyun Wook wrote on his community website to his fans. Quoting Sports DongA, Choi Hyun Wook's agency - Gold Medalist is coordinating with SSG Landers to seek a contract for the child's family.
If they can't find time to talk in person, the Weak Hero star plans to write an apology letter via social media. "Choi Hyun Wook deeply regrets the incident. He wants to contact the victim's family and write a letter to the child and family," said a source close to the incident.
