Actor Byun Woo-seok’s side is expected to no longer work with security company A. As the controversy over the emperor’s security has arisen, some are pointing out that this is an attempt to ‘cut the tail’.

On the 23rd, his agency Baro Entertainment stated regarding the exclusion from Company A’s work, “It is a cautious situation,” and “There are no plans to leave the country for the time being, so we will discuss it later.” According to a media outlet that day, Byun Woo-seok’s side recently decided not to work with Company A.

Byun Woo-seok rose to stardom with tvN’s ‘Sunjae Up and Run’, which ended in May. On the 12th, while leaving for Hong Kong for an Asian fan meeting tour, he was caught up in controversy over excessive security. The security company controlled the airport gate, saying they were trying to block the crowd, and they flashed lights at lounge passengers and checked their airline tickets. The video was shared on social media, and was criticized as ’emperor’s security’.

The security company drew the line, saying, “There was no prior discussion with Byun Woo-seok,” but the agency’s delayed response only grew the controversy. In the end, Byun Woo-seok was sued by the National Human Rights Commission, and Baro Entertainment apologized three days later on the 15th. They said, “After recognizing the security guard’s behavior of flashing a camera at airport passengers, we asked him to ‘stop. ’” They continued, “Although we were not able to recognize the gate, airline tickets, and detailed security situation on-site, we feel a moral responsibility for any unpleasant incidents during security procedures.”

It was featured on major terrestrial and cable news, and the social repercussions were discussed in the National Assembly, causing a strong backlash. The Incheon Airport Police Department has begun an investigation before filing a case against the security company. They are looking into whether there are any suspicions of violations of the Criminal Act on obstruction of business, coercion, and assault. Incheon Airport Corporation is also considering filing a complaint against the security guard. Lee Hak-jae, the president of Incheon Airport Corporation, said, “It is an illegal act,” and “We will hold them accountable.”
