Actor Kim Bin-woo ultimately apologized over a floor noise controversy that erupted after a late-night live broadcast.
On the 11th, scenes from Kim Bin-woo's TikTok live broadcast spread on online communities and social media, escalating the controversy. In the released video, Kim Bin-woo wore flashy light-up glasses, held a microphone and danced to the music. She was even singing along and enjoying herself.
The problem was that the broadcast time was around 1 a.m. One internet user asked, "Is that an APT.?" and Kim Bin-woo reportedly replied, "It's on the first floor, you know?" Some viewers defended her, saying, "If it's on the first floor, it's fine," but others complained, saying, "The music level was like a club at that hour," and "The noise carries to diagonal units," expressing discomfort.
The controversy grew especially because floor noise is not simply a problem for the downstairs unit; it can travel through walls and pillars to neighboring or upper units and even to diagonal units. As loud music and singing at late hours were broadcast without being toned down, criticism followed that "there was a lack of consideration."
As the controversy spread, Kim Bin-woo bowed her head. On the 11th she apologized on social media, saying, "I am deeply reflecting due to a thoughtless moment. I will be more careful going forward. I am sorry."
Some netizens reacted, "Mistakes can happen, but it's fortunate she apologized right away," and "Even on the first floor, you should be careful about making noise late at night." On the other hand, criticism continued, saying, "Her initial response was too confident, which was more disappointing," and "Floor noise is a sensitive issue for everyone."
Ultimately, this controversy has spread beyond the simple question of "whether it's the first floor or not" to become a discussion about basic consideration for living together in apartment housing.
