Choi Hyun Wook faced his latest controversy after appearing in a live broadcast showing him drunk in the morning, precisely on August 30, 2026. The broadcast attracted the attention of many fans in Korea and internationally, eliciting mixed reactions from joy to concern about the actor's condition.
During his live broadcast, Choi noticed the large number of foreign fans watching. He commented, “It seems like there are a lot of foreigners here. The translation will probably work out fine on its own, but you have to treat Koreans well. Seriously.”
He also jokingly commented on her appearance, saying, “Don’t I look really ugly right now? It’s because I look like a pig. A pig.” In response to a viewer's question about why he was broadcasting drunk so early in the morning, Choi replied, "Koreans are asleep at this time. So no one can stop me."
This broadcast has once again brought attention to Choi, who has previously faced several public controversies. In 2023, a video of Choi smoking with friends on the street and carelessly discarding cigarette butts circulated online. He was fined for the incident and later issued a written apology.
A year later, Choi accidentally exposed his body in a photo he posted of himself after his reflection appeared on the shiny surface of a bear figurine. He also drew attention after being discovered following social media accounts known for posting politically provocative content.
More recently, Choi drew criticism after throwing a ceremonial first pitch at full speed, which sailed over the head of a child batting at a professional baseball game. The incident drew additional backlash because Choi had previously played baseball.
His agency later revealed that he had sent a letter of apology to the child. His latest live stream has once again sparked debate online, with some fans expressing concern over his behavior, while others criticized him for publicly broadcasting while clearly intoxicated.
