Amid ongoing controversy surrounding YouTuber Park Wi's fall from a wheelchair on the KTX, actress Hwang Shin-hye has once again drawn attention with a cryptic personal post.

On the 28th, Hwang shared updates about having lunch with her family, stating, "Family lunchtime. Meeting my sibling, as a family member of someone with a disability, I find the current situation regrettable and feel deeply unsettled."

Hwang added, "I believe that even a small act of consideration from someone can become great strength for many who need help. I hope only that warm heart remains unchanged."

Hwang Shin-hye's younger brother, Hwang Jeong-eon, is known to be a painter who uses his mouth to hold a brush and paint after sustaining neck injuries in a past accident that left him with quadriplegia. Hwang has previously mentioned on YouTube and other platforms the practical difficulties she and her brother face while living together.

Earlier, Park Wi posted a video titled "Reason for Releasing CCTV Footage" on his YouTube channel 'Wi Miracle' on the 21st, revealing that he was injured while disembarking after using the KTX for a lecture on the 14th.

However, following the release of the footage, some criticized Park Wi's approach as excessive, noting that although public service workers had apologized, his decision to release CCTV footage and seemingly target one individual with anger was over the top. In response, Park Wi deleted the video and posted an apology statement.

Park Wi bowed his head, saying, "I failed to consider the position of the worker who did their best to help me at the scene and apologized politely. I viewed only negatively a mistake that occurred in the process of trying to assist me better. My delivery was immature, and my thinking was short-sighted. I apologize to everyone who worked hard at the scene." He also stated, "I sincerely apologize to all viewers who watched the video. I will take your advice to heart and approach content creation with a mature attitude. Taking this incident as an opportunity, I will act more cautiously and responsibly in all matters. Once again, I am truly sorry."

Shortly after the controversy erupted, Park Wi announced that scheduled events were being canceled one by one and that he would voluntarily resign from his position as Seoul city's promotional ambassador.
