Actor Choi Woo-sik displayed his cool charm.

On the 6th, Choi Woo-sik posted several selfies with his recent activities on his personal SNS, along with the word "Paris."

In the photos, Choi Woo-sik is seen showcasing sophisticated daily fashion among historic buildings in Paris, France. He paired a dark gray short-sleeve T-shirt with navy pants and black loafers, presenting a clean yet trendy boyfriend look that serves as the epitome of the style.

Adding to this, Choi Woo-sik wore a black baseball cap pulled down low and sunglasses, creating a hip atmosphere. Holding a folding fan in one hand and leaning casually against a pillar, his pose evoked a scene straight out of a movie.

Previously, Choi Woo-sik was caught up in an unexpected racial discrimination controversy last month. Recently, he traveled to Paris, France, to attend a fashion show for Fashion Brand A, where he serves as a global ambassador.

While moving toward the Paris Fashion Week venue, Choi Woo-sik was signing autographs while interacting with fans of various ethnicities from around the world. However, allegations emerged that he "only responded to a Black fan's request for an autograph," sparking suspicions of blackface passing.

One netizen claimed that Choi Woo-sik reached his hand above other fans' heads to sign autographs but did not even make eye contact with them before leaving. He further emphasized that he was the only Black person present at the scene, stating, "I can understand not receiving an autograph itself. But seeing him sign for others right in front of me is hard to accept. My hands are still shaking from this incident. I had the worst experience at the Paris fashion show."

As a result, Choi Woo-sik released a statement written in English on his personal SNS on the 28th of last month. He said, "If I walked past you, I am sorry. I wanted to sign autographs for as many people as possible, but time was too limited. I sincerely hope we can meet again soon."

Choi Woo-sik is set to appear in tvN's upcoming series 'Whale Star' next year. Based on a webtoon of the same name, the work depicts a man who devoted everything to his country during the Japanese colonial period and a woman who risks her life to protect him. Choi Woo-sik, Moon Ga-young, Heo Nam-jun, Yoo Jae-myung, and Kang Han-na are among the cast members.
