Ji Changwook embroiled in another 'personality' controversy ... Stealing notebooks overseas too: "A repeat offender"

SOURCE: 지창욱, 또다시 불거진 인성 논란…해외서도 노트 강탈 "상습범이네"

Ji Changwook has once again sparked controversy after steals a fan's notebook.

Recently, a video titled 'Ji Changwook steals a notebook again' was posted on online communities and social media.

The video shows Ji Changwook in Paris, France, attending the Tom Ford fashion show during the 2026 F/W Paris Fashion Week.

In front of the venue, Ji Changwook responded kindly to fans who had been waiting for him by signing autographs while smiling warmly. However, after finishing the autograph, he only returned the pen and walked away while still holding the notebook in his hand.

Ji Changwook also had a previous history of stealing a fan's notebook in 2024. At the time, during a stage greeting for the movie 'Revolver,' he signed a fan's notebook but returned only the pen and walked away with the notebook, amusing people with his clumsy behavior.

The video of that moment quickly spread on social media and even became a hot topic under the title 'Ji Changwook personality controversy.' In response, his agency posted a playful announcement to find the fan who was the victim of the 'notebook stealing incident.'

<We are looking for someone>

We are looking for the fan who reached out their hand in confusion after Ji Changwook stole their notebook during the 'Revolver' stage greeting on August 7.

If you are the person whose notebook was taken, or if you know who it is, please leave a comment! (We may ask for verification to confirm your identity)

*The stolen notebook was returned to its owner on the day of the incident, but we apologize for not noticing your reaching hand at the time.

Now, about two years later, Ji Changwook was caught walking away with a fan's notebook again. Fans reacted with comments like "He's a repeat offender," "This time, it happened overseas. How is he going to return it?", "A new type of notebook theft," "His autograph is precious to himself," "He's really cute," and more.

Meanwhile, Ji Changwook will star in the new JTBC drama 'Human X Gumiho' (working title). This drama is a fantasy romantic comedy about Gu Jahong (Jeon Jihyun), a seductive being who bewitches humans, and Choi Seok (Ji Changwook), a human who attracts supernatural creatures, as they meet at the crossroads of fate. It is scheduled to start filming in March.

This is the original video of the controversy. He truly didn’t know he was holding the signed notebook until he left the theater.

The story unfolded as... At the next theater, he admitted he had taken the notebook himself. 

He gave the signed notebook back in the next theater. I was thereㅋㅋ

Oh, I was at the theater where he returned the signed notebookㅋㅋㅋ

I saw it, another actor delivered the signed notebook back

-I once did something similar when I was holding tissues and my phone together. I meant to throw the tissues away, but I unconsciously threw my phone into the trash canㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s so funny how urgent he looks. He really looks like he's in a hurryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He returned the pen but took the autograph with himㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Reminds me of that one celebrity who was asked for a picture by a fan, but the celeb took a selfie with their own phone. They didn’t realize until laterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s funny that he didn’t realize until after the stage greeting, and then went to the next theater to find itㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why would he take his own autographㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I thought it was a jokeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can't believe this is actually realㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋHe must've been so out of it.

-A customer at my store once freaked out about losing their wallet. CCTV showed them throwing it away with the trash. We had to dig it out of the trashㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is hilarious. I’ve done something similar beforeㅋㅋㅋ

Actors Ma Dongseok and Ji Changwook are also positively considering their roles in ‘Twelve,’ Seo Inguk is expected to work alongside them and lead the drama.

-Oh, it sounds fun. Characters like Rabbit and Sheep are likely to be female roles, but it would be interesting if they break expectations and let an actress play as the Tiger.

-‘Twelve’ must be a working title, right? Since it's a Korean hero drama, it’s strange that the title is in English. I hope they balance the hero gender ratio as well.

-I hope they cast a female actress for the Horse sign.

-The world setting sounds fun from the start.

-It would be interesting if Ma Dongseok is not Tiger, but instead Rabbit or Sheep…??

-If there are many female actresses, I’ll watch it.

-I like these kinds of thingsㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope it turns out well.

-I guess I like this kind of thing… I didn’t realize. I’m excited for this.

-Was this real? I thought it was a joke, but I’m excited for itㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s a shame the title is in English. Korean would be better.

-It would be funny if Ma Dongseok is the Rabbit.

-I hope they make the Dragon sign a strong female character.
