Choi Woo-shik's agency denies flight attendant gapjil allegations, warns of legal action

Choi Woo-shik's agency has denied allegations that the actor behaved abusively toward a flight attendant and warned of legal action.

Fable Company, Choi's agency, said in a statement posted to its official social media account Friday that "false information related to Choi Woo-shik has recently been spreading, primarily on Threads."

The "false information" the agency referred to was a post on Threads by a user who identified themselves as a flight attendant. The user claimed that when Choi boarded a flight, they greeted him without recognizing who he was. When they later approached him to take a meal order, Choi allegedly frowned and snapped at a nearby manager, saying, "What are you doing — they're talking to me."

The agency said that "recklessly posting false information, or maliciously distorting and amplifying it to create and spread rumors, is a clear illegal act that seriously violates the actor's reputation and rights."

The agency went on to say it "is continuously monitoring the relevant posts and their distribution channels and collecting related materials," adding that it "will take legal action against anyone who writes, spreads, reproduces or disseminates false information."
