Things started heating up after the original video went viral. The actor’s face was not shown in the first clip, but the person involved was later identified as Choi Woo-Shik in other videos from different angles. As speculation swirled, some social media users asked if the interaction was racially motivated. Others suggested that the atmosphere of a fashion show, in which celebrities are often surrounded by hordes of fans, photographers and time pressures, could be a factor in the situation.
