Actor Choi Hyun Wook Accidentally Flashes The Internet In Now-Deleted Post

This time around, instead of a post, Choi’s mishap was centered around an account that he followed.

He’s gay*, sure, but he’s still young — he should take care of his image as an actor.
Did you follow on accident while watching a reel?

Gay/Gei in this sense is believed to be the short form slang used for users on online platforms, rather than sexuality.  The account posts political memes, and uses language commonly used on Ilbe, an extremely far-right conservative website.

A post revealing that he followed has gone viral with millions of views.

Damn… Choi Hyunwook’s really making a fool of himself.

— OP

He has since unfollowed, however, netizens have seen it as a negative, commenting on how it has affected his image.
