On Friday, “Beef” creator Lee Sung Jin and executive producers and stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong released a statement to Variety responding to backlash the show has received for casting artist David Choe in one of its main roles. Many social media users said they stopped watching “Beef” after Choe’s story was unearthed. “The story David Choe fabricated nine years ago is undeniably hurtful and extremely disturbing,” their joint statement published in Variety states. After the resurfaced clip initially hit Twitter last week, Choe didn’t help matters by having the clip removed from the platform.
