Actor Byeon Woo Seok‘s outfit for the W Korea event has sparked major controversy.
Byeon Woo Seok was one of the celebrities who attended the controversial W Korea event.
W Korea’s Star-Studded Charity Event Seemingly Mocks Cancer Patients— Triggers Backlash
The actor attended wearing a white suit, and it had a pink flower as an accessory.
Netizens initially praised the actor, saying that compared to the others attending, at least he seemed to show awareness for the cause, as the colour linked to the rise of awareness for breast cancer is pink.
-star Di acara W Korea, hanya Byeon Woo-seok, Jung Ryeo-won, dan Shin Sia yg pakai simbol pink/ pita. Knetz aja heran karna banyak tamu berpakaian terbuka yg bahkan gak ada korelasinya dgn campaign breast cancer, ditambah pesta alkohol dan performa dgn lirik eksplisit. pic.twitter.com/yMVmSmx78r

Yet, the actor quickly became the center of criticism after it was revealed that the brands worn by the stars were selected by W Korea and that the pink flower was part of the original outfit, rather than something added for the event.
It's part of the outfit, not his "effort of promoting breast cancer awareness" https://t.co/ULpH6ZsEbB pic.twitter.com/Tx8SVdy5EE

Lmfao… It’s crazy how celebs get praised for doing the bare minimum. Like, why were they partying, dancing and drinking at an event that had nothing to do with awareness? This doesn’t count lol. And it’s not even the symbolic ribbon….ppl really need to use their brain.. https://t.co/l8LLsbCFTR
