Actor Ji Chang Wook, who was doing well, had the same affair 5 years ago...he failed again due to smoking.

Actor Ji Chang Wook, whose recent JTBC drama 'Welcome to Samdalli' was well received, has apologised for the smoking disturbance in the room.

　On the 11th, Ji Chang Wook's agency Spring Company issued an official comment, stating, "We would like to apologise to all those who were offended by actor Ji Chang Wook's behaviour in the making-of content of the drama released on the 26th January."

　He continued, "In this making-of content, a scene in which Ji Chang Wook smokes an e-cigarette indoors is included. We are sorry about that. I would like to apologise again to those who were involved in the contents, the staff on site, the performers and the viewers who loved the work". Finally, his agency said: 'Through this incident, we will take extra precautions to ensure that inappropriate behaviour is not repeated. Once again, we sincerely apologise to the many people who were concerned by this incident.'

　In the making-of footage of the rehearsals for the JTBC drama 'Welcome to Samdalli', which ended last month, Ji Chang Wook was caught smoking an e-cigarette. In addition to Ji Chang Wook, the other actors, including actress Shin Hye Sung, who played his partner, and a number of staff members were with him at the scene, but Ji Chang Wook appeared to be unconcerned about smoking.

　When these images went viral, netizens reacted that it was too inconsiderate of him not to observe the no-smoking policy indoors on a film set where there were also non-smokers, and furthermore, the atmosphere on set where this situation was accepted as natural was shocking. While the drama ended on a positive note, Ji Chang Wook, who passionately played the main character Cho Young Pil, also gained a positive image, but it is unfortunate that his image was somewhat tarnished by such an uproar.

　In particular, Ji Chang Wook once caused controversy by posting a smoking video in 2019. At the time, Ji Chang Wook released a video of himself smoking spontaneously on SNS, and there was a lot of criticism as to why he had to release such a scene on the highly accessible SNS.
