Rising Actor’s Social Media Gets Clean Slate After Recent Controversies Jeopardize His Career
Two weeks after getting slammed for his Instagram “Following,” The Trauma Code: Heroes On Call rising actor Choo Young Woo folded and gave himself a clean slate, so it seems.
When it was reported that Choo Young Woo followed and then unfollowed streamer KUBIN, who was deemed “controversial” for creating content using sexual clickbait, the actor apologized during an interview and promised to “be more careful in the future.”
Rising Actor Choo Young Woo Gets Slammed After Following Controversial YouTuber
I did not have any special intentions behind my following. I often watch reels and shorts regularly, and I’m sorry if I caused people to feel uncomfortable. I will be more careful in the future.
— Choo Young Woo
Except, the interview brought forward a long-time fan who dubbed him a “repeat offender” and claimed that he had been warned about his social media activities before. The fan revealed that when Choo Young Woo was first approached about it back in 2021, he removed about 30 “questionable” models and streamers from the list of accounts that he follows. The fan included a screenshot of the actor thanking them for good advice…
…and after making the same mistake twice, Choo Young Woo must have taken the advice to heart. As of February 15, 2025 (KST), the actor has wiped the slate clean and unfollowed all accounts, bringing him back to 0. Given how persistent the gossip involving his social media activities was, the actor must have thought it best to leave no room for error.
The decision has still left the internet in further discussion. Some commented that the clean-up came a little too late, while others thought that he didn’t need to unfollow anyone on his own following list.
- “Finally got himself a burner account, LMAO.”
- “He unfollowed everyone. Now, stop picking on him.”
- “How does he have over 1M followers?”
- “Guys. It’s not like he committed a deadly crime. What is wrong with you all?”
- “He gave himself a clean slate. It’s done and over with. Stop slamming him over and over for this.”
- “Still blows my mind… I bet he’s going to go around with a burner account, following everyone his heart desires.”
- “LMAO. Keep your burner account safe, dude.”
- “Ugh. I won’t forget this.”
- “Should’ve done so a lot earlier… Aigoo.”
- “I’m disappointed in him more so because he did clean out his following after got that DM from his fan. But over the years, he decided it’d be OK to follow questionable accounts again. He brought this upon himself.”
