Ji Chang Wook is under fire for sharing a smoking video on his SNS.
On the 20th, the actor posted a video on his Instagram story smoking a cigarette adding, "It's so cold and I can't sleep but I'm still happy."
The video spread quickly in online communities and Ji Chang Wook's name began trending on real-time search query rankings.
It's not uncommon for a celebrity to post a photo or video smoking but many netizens felt that "since he's a famous entertainer, he needs to be responsible for his influence as a role model to minors."
Netizens stated, "adults can smoke but directly posting that on social media is just irresponsible. For him to post this on his SNS shows that he doesn't care for his fans who are minors." Since Ji Chang Wook is born in 1987, netizens made a "funny" joke about whether his "two bottles" came late.
Other netizens argued that "he wasn't posting in an official platform but rather his personal SNS so he should be free to post whatever he wants. Who cares if he smokes or not, he's a grown man in his thirties. Celebrities are humans too, they eat and drink and poop and some smoke, it's no big deal. Smoking is legal, and so is posting on SNS."
Despite the ongoing controversy, Ji Chang Wook posted another update on Instagram, sharing photos taken on the side of the road as well as selfies taken with friends without address the smoking video.
Attention is focused on whether Ji Chang Wook will address the controversy in the future.
