Netflix’s new series ‘Beef’ has been the topic of discussion recently due to cast member David Choe’s controversial comments on sexual assault that were recently resurfaced. Now, the show’s executive producers and stars, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, along with creator Lee Sung Jin, have released a statement regarding the issue.
The three have expressed their displeasure and disappointment towards Choe’s comments, which they described as “undeniably hurtful and extremely disturbing.” However, they acknowledged that Choe has apologized for his comments in the past and has also undergone extensive mental health support over the past decade to improve himself and learn from his mistakes.
Choe’s comments date back to 2014 when he gave an interview, where he joked about being a “successful rapist” during a massage. His comments resurfaced following the release of the Netflix series, leading to widespread criticism and outrage. Choe, who has denied any history of sexual assault, issued an apology shortly after the podcast interview was published back in 2014.
In 2017, he issued a second apology on Instagram, stating that he is deeply sorry for any hurt he might have caused through his past words. At the time, he also revealed that he had undergone three years of recovery and rehabilitation.
The executive producers and stars of ‘Beef’ acknowledged that Choe’s comments are unacceptable and recognized the impact that they have had on the public. They stated that they do not condone his behavior and are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment on the set of the show. The trio also expressed their support for those who have been affected by sexual assault, stating that they stand with them in solidarity.
