TRUTH Behind “Mr. Queen” Actor Choi Jin Hyuk Breaking COVID-19 Rules

Prominent actor Choi Jin Hyuk who played the real Jang Bo Hwan in Mr. Queen, has reportedly ceased all his activities after breaking the South Korean government’s COVID-19 rules. However, did he really do it on purpose? Here’s the truth from his side of the story.

“Mr. Queen” Actor Choi Jin Hyuk Reportedly Breaking COVID-19 Rules

You may recognize Choi Jin Hyuk mainly after his performance alongside Shin Hye Sun in Mr. Queen as Jang Bo Hwan. Still, his reputation as an actor had actually preceded him for more than a decade. Therefore, it is a huge surprise to hear that he would be ceasing all his activities and breaking the COVID-19 regulation, for that matter.

On October 8, various media reported that “Mr. Queen” actor Choi Jin Hyuk would be ceasing all his activities after reportedly breaking COVID-19 rules. Then, his agency, G-Tree Creative, also released a formal apology to the public for this incident.

Choi Jin Hyuk Arrested by South Korean Police

The incident started on October 6, when the South Korean police arrested “Mr. Queen” actor Choi Jin Hyuk for breaking COVID-19 rules.

“On October 6, Choi Jin Hyuk violated COVID-19 prevention regulations while meeting up with an acquaintance.”

Furthermore, according to the report, Choi Jin Hyuk had violated the Infectious Disease Prevention Act after being caught at an entertainment bar around 8.20 PM, KST. After all, under level 4 of South Korean COVID-19 social distancing rules, no bar should have been allowed to operate at such time.

“He was caught violating the social distancing guidelines around 8:20 PM, as he was at a bar that should not have been operating at all at the current [level 4] social distancing.”

So, what truly happened?

Invited by an Acquaintance

To explain what had truly happened, Choi Jin Hyuk’s entertainment agency, G-Tree Creative, released a statement.

In the statement, the company detailed that an acquaintance of actor Choi Jin Hyuk had invited him for a meet-up. This acquaintance then took him to the abovementioned bar, which he said could stay open until 10 PM because they were looking for a quiet place to talk.

“Choi Jin Hyuk’s acquaintance took him to a bar that he said could stay open until 10 PM. He ended up at that place because his acquaintance recommended it while they were looking for a quiet place to talk.”

Choi Jin Hyuk Ended Up Being Arrested

Therefore, since Choi Jin Hyuk had been careful during the COVID-19 about drinking in front of the others before 10 PM, the actor agreed without knowing that the bar was actually operating illegally. And that is why it resulted in him being arrested by South Korean police.  

“Choi Jin Hyuk had no idea that the bar was open illegally. Therefore, he mistakenly thought that there would be no problem with staying there until 10 PM. However, because it was a bar that was not allowed to be open under the current level of social distancing guidelines, he was caught for violating COVID-19 prevention regulations at about 8:20 PM.”

Choi Jin Hyuk Issued Personal Apology and Will Be Taking a Break for Self-Reflection

Finally, Choi Jin Hyuk and his agency sincerely apologize due to this mistake. The actor posted on his Instagram and will be taking a break, ceasing all his activities for self-reflection.

“He is truly ashamed of his ignorance and wrongdoing in not properly checking the COVID-19 prevention guidelines and not being more vigilant, and he is aware that there is no excuse for his behavior. With his head bowed, he apologizes and will be reflecting deeply, as well as mindful not to repeat this kind of mistake ever again. As an agency, we will also always do everything we can to manage our celebrities.”

English translation:

“I’m actor Choi Jin Hyuk. First of all, I apologize for causing concern and disappointment to many people due to this incident. On the 6th, I violated the quarantine rules and hanging out with an acquaintance. It’s my fault that I trusted my acquaintance’s words that the bar runs until 10 p.m. and judged it too complacent. I feel heavy and sorry that I have done something unforgivable for any reason and excuse. Above all, everyone is trying to overcome difficult situations together, and it is all the more embarrassing to know that many medical staff are suffering every day. Also, I’m sorry to give a big disappointment to many people who supported me. I will reflect deeply, reflect again, and always look around me and my surroundings so as not to repeat the same mistake again due to ignorance. Once again, I would like to expressing my deep apology.”

Choi Jin Hyuk

Consequently, it means that he will also be stepping down from SBS’ “My Little Old Boy” variety show, which the program also confirmed. That is why “My Little Old Boy” will edit out all Choi Jun Hyuk’s parts as much as possible from existing footage for future episodes.

Stay strong, Choi Jin Hyuk! We will all wait patiently for your return.
