‘Illegal filming controversy’ Choi Jeong-yoon

Actor Choi Jeong-yoon (46) apologized for the controversy over the illegal filming of the movie 'Rebound'.

On the 5th, Choi Jeong-yoon was embroiled in controversy over illegal filming by posting a video of the screening of the movie 'Rebound' with a camera.

According to Article 104-6 of the Video Works Act (Prohibition of Recording, etc. of Video Works), it is illegal to film a movie being shown and post it on social networking services (SNS).

As this was pointed out, Choi Jeong-yoon immediately deleted the post and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that well." He also said, "I think this emotion will last a long time. My heart feels moist and warm for the first time in a long time." He added, "Let's go to the theater for the movie 'Rebound.' !" he wrote. In response to netizens' comments, he added, "I didn't know. I didn't know because I was taking care of my child, but then I got a call from an acquaintance. I won't make this mistake again in the future. Phew."

The agency also explained, “The actor himself recognized that it was a mistake and took down the post,” adding, “I think he was motivated by a desire to publicize the movie.”

Meanwhile, 'Rebound' is attracting attention due to the collaboration between director Jang Hang-jun and writers Kwon Seong-hee and Kim Eun-hee. It depicts the miraculous story of the 8 days of the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament, achieved by the new coach and 6 players of the weakest basketball team.

It was released on the 5th.
