Recently, Jungwoo Ha gave a nickname to a person with the last name 'Choi' at the request of a fan.
The word is a generic term for drugs that stimulate sexual desire, and it has a sexual harassment meaning, drawing criticism from fans and Internet users.
As the controversy grew, the comment was currently deleted, but the controversy still did not fade. "The sexual joke was too much", "Communication with fans has become unpleasant beyond pleasant" was dominated by responses.
The bigger problem is that this is not the first time. In the past, Jungwoo Ha has given derisive nicknames to fans for fun, such as 'the toilet', 'Park Volume' and 'Sunhee Miami'.
While some take it as a 'pleasant prank', criticism of 'crossing the line' is also daunting.
In particular, there is a widespread awareness of the problem of "Is it okay to wrap sexual harassment expressions as a joke?" and it is pointed out that it is necessary to review the overall fan communication method of Jungwoo Ha.
Finally, on the 21st, Jungwoo Ha's agency Workhouse Company said "We deeply apologize to those who may have been uncomfortable with our artists' SNS."
The actor also apologized to the fans and talked with them"I promise to be more careful with my words and actions in communication with my fans in the future."," he said.
