Actor Ji Chang-wook has addressed allegations of living in hardship.

Recently, a post titled "Ji Chang-wook, suspected of living in hardship, in recent advertisements" was uploaded to an SNS platform hosting humorous content.

Upon seeing this, Ji Chang-wook personally left a comment stating, "It's not living in hardship.."

The advertisement is a work by the new advertising and film production company 'Dolphin Kidnappers', which has gained immense popularity among the MZ generation with its music video for the girl group NewJeans (Newjeans) and its unique B-grade sensibility. Ji Chang-wook, who appeared in the ad, drew attention for looking more disheveled than ever before in his career since his debut.

In the advertisement, Ji Chang-wook transforms into a robot character, shooting lasers from his eyes for roaming services with S Telecom, and also rides atop a suitcase while waving a cape, shouting continuously to elicit laughter.

Even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs got involved. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs left a comment on its official SNS account, "When transforming inside the airport, wouldn't it be safer to reduce the volume of your shouts by half?" which made viewers burst into laughter.

Ji Chang-wook is currently in Cannes, France. He has been officially invited to the Midnight Screening of the '79th Cannes Film Festival' for his film 'COLONY' and is fulfilling official schedules alongside Jeon Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Shin Hye-bin, Kim Shin-rok, and director Yeon Sang-ho.
