  "textContent": "**Actor Choi Wooshik** has unexpectedly been facing **allegations of racism** after walking right past a fan who wanted his autograph at a **fashion show** in **Paris** , **France**.\n\nOn the 26th, a woman posted a video on her **TikTok** account claiming that **Choi Wooshik intentionally ignored her** at the **AMI Paris Fashion Show**. Introducing herself as an **actress** and **writer** , she said:\n\n> _\"Usually,**I don't default to saying that weird or uncomfortable situations happen** , you know, **because of (my skin color).** But what happened was **so strange** that like, your girl is **still** **shaking**.\"_\n\nShe explained that she often gets invited to fan events because of her job and had even made a handmade sign for her favorite actor. She noted, _\"It was the end of the show and the celebrities are coming over to say hi to the fans, take pictures, and things like that. And then, I see**my favorite actor** came out. Now, bear in mind, I'm **the only one** in my barricade section that has **a poster** **and a hand sign of him.** \" _\n\nAccording to her, Choi Wooshik didn't even look her way. She claimed,_\"He looks at my poster, then he looks away, but he's walking towards us.**He stands right in front of me, but he doesn't make eye contact with me.** He's signing for people to my left. Then he starts signing above my head. At some point,he even signs the little traditional fan they were giving in the fashion show.\" _She continued,\n\n> _**\"He signs everybody else's stuff except for mine, and then he walks away.\"**_\n\nShe made it clear that **the issue wasn't just about missing out on an autograph** , expressing her frustration, stating, _\"What I thought was confusing is that he came all the way to the only sign and poster of him, signed everybody else's stuff, and left.\"_ She added:\n\n> _\"I was**the only black person** in that section. I don't know if it was **racism** or **unconscious bias** , but it was a **deeply humiliating** experience.\"_\n\nShe further revealed that she even ran into him later at the**after-party** but chose to cross the street so she wouldn't think she was **stalking him**. She shared,_\"It's almost as if like I was being told,**'You're not allowed to be here'** or **'You're not allowed to be my fan.'** \"_ She added, _**\"If it's because I'm Black, I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it.** It made me think that if you have darker skin, you can't be his fan.\" _\n\nTo back up her claims, she also posted a video she recorded at the scene. In the clip, you can hear her repeatedly calling out,**'Please!'** and **'I love you,'** while the actor signs things for everyone else around before walking off. Even though his **face** was **blurred out** , videos posted by other fans quickly revealed that it was **Choi Wooshik**.\n\nAs the controversy started spreading, international fans are completely split. Lots of people **criticized** him over the **alleged racism** , but plenty of others **jumped to his defense** , saying things like, **'He can't possibly sign for everyone at the event,' 'Maybe he was embarrassed because she was openly showing how big of a fan she was,'** and **'It just looks like he was signing randomly. This seems like a victim mentality.'**\n\nLooking at the big picture, Choi Wooshik has **never had a single racism allegation** in his entire career, both in South Korea and globally. In fact, back in **2020** after the death of**George Floyd** in the US, he personally joined the anti-racism **#BlackoutTuesday** campaign by posting about it on his personal social media account. He also has been **communicating with international fans** , actively hanging out with them **regardless of their nationality or race** , which is why some people are finding these claims so hard to believe.",
