Actor Choi Kang-hee has publicly appealed that she is suffering from stalking.
On July 15, Choi posted on her social media, saying, "I am leaving this explanation because it is a message for everyone to see." She added, "Yesterday, I checked a letter stating that if I did not leave a message, it would be taken as consent and they would follow my car. I realized that this was the person who spoke to me a few days ago."
Choi stated firmly, "I will not reveal your name. Do not follow me. No response also means refusal." She repeatedly urged, "I want you to know that attempting conversation without consent, waiting for me, and following me are acts of stalking. I hope you realize that even if there is no malicious intent, such actions cause psychological fear."
Finally, Choi requested, "I can no longer accept letters and gifts sent to the broadcasting station. Please deliver them through my agency or fan club." She appealed, "Due to the ongoing incidents, I have even had unnatural nightmares where I could not distinguish reality. I ask for your prayers and cooperation."
Choi is recently preparing to resume her acting career after a long hiatus. She is scheduled to return to the stage as an actor for the first time in five years through the play "Closer" in September.
Previously, appearing on comedian Lee Sung-mi's YouTube channel released on July 13, Choi shared that she went through a psychologically difficult period that led her to halt her acting career for a while. After stopping her acting activities, she experienced ordinary daily life by cleaning the homes of Song Eun-i and Kim Sook, and working part-time washing dishes at a barbecue restaurant. She also mentioned that during the COVID-19 pandemic, she even considered working at a mask factory.
