Actor Choi Woo Shik has become the subject of intense online criticism after a fan shared videos from an Ami Paris event during Paris Fashion Week. The fan, who posts under the name Tricia The Angel, explained that she had attended the event specifically to support Choi Woo Shik. She reportedly brought several posters and other items showing her support and believed she was one of the few people gathered primarily for the actor.
However, according to her account, Choi Woo Shik signed items and interacted with several people nearby while passing her without responding.
In the footage, the fan can reportedly be heard repeatedly asking the actor, “Please,” as he moved through the crowd. She later uploaded a longer video to show the full interaction, claiming that Choi Woo Shik appeared to look in her direction but still did not approach her. The experience left her feeling hurt and questioning why she had apparently been excluded.
The fan raised several possible explanations, including racism and class-based discrimination. Her videos quickly attracted attention on TikTok and X, where some users accused the actor of deliberately ignoring her despite acknowledging other fans.
Criticism also spread to the comment section of Choi Woo Shik’s Instagram account, with users demanding an explanation for what happened at the event. While the fan’s disappointment is clearly visible, the footage alone does not prove why Choi Woo Shik did not interact with her.
It is unclear whether he heard her, understood that she was requesting an autograph, was being directed by security or staff, or had limited time to greet those gathered outside. No evidence presented in the report establishes that his actions were motivated by the fan’s race, appearance, or perceived social status. As a result, descriptions of the incident as racist or classist remain allegations based on viewers’ interpretations rather than confirmed facts.
