Actor Choi Woo-sik directly addressed the 'Black-passing' controversy that erupted at a fashion show in Paris, France.

On the 28th, Choi posted a brief statement written in English on his social media.

He said, "If I walked past you, I am sorry," and added, "I wanted to give autographs to as many people as possible, but there was not enough time."

He further expressed, "I sincerely hope we can meet again soon."

Choi Woo-sik's statement is interpreted as a response to the 'Black-passing' controversy that recently surfaced online.

A Black woman explained on her social media that she was unable to get an autograph from her favorite actor at the Paris fashion show. She claimed, "The actor did not even make eye contact with me; he only signed autographs for other fans and left. I am not someone who easily speaks about racial discrimination. Yet, he came all the way up to my spot and only signed autographs for other fans, and I was the only Black person there."

Subsequently, speculation spread online that the actor in the video was Choi Woo-sik, escalating the issue into a racial discrimination controversy. In response, Choi Woo-sik posted a clarification statement, bringing the controversy to a close.
