Actor Choo Young Woo has found himself in hot water once again, this time due to allegations surrounding artwork that allegedly features disturbing pedophilic themes.

The drama star, who gained fame from his role in "Head Over Heels," was recently spotted using a phone case adorned with artwork by a controversial artist notorious for depicting suggestive imagery of young girls resembling high school students.

Scathing Backlash for Rising Star

As Choo’s popularity soared in recent months, many fans were shocked to see him associated with such "inappropriate" content. This incident has reignited previous concerns about the actor's alleged inappropriate behavior.

In February 2025, netizens criticized him extensively for following accounts on Instagram run by broadcast jockeys known for sharing sexually provocative material. Additionally, he faced backlash for following rapper Jung Sang Soo, whose history includes DUI, assault, and derogatory remarks towards women.
