YouTuber Suk Min Choi, also known as a YouTube creator, was arrested on a federal criminal complaint for directing a YouTube video in which two women in a helicopter repeatedly shot fireworks at a Lamborghini sports car last year, according to federal authorities.

Choi, 24, was arrested on June 5 and charged with one count of “causing the placement of an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft,” according to the U.

S.

Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.

If convicted, Choi could face a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.

Representatives for Choi at his management firm, Underscore Talent, did not respond to a request for comment on Friday.

Choi’s YouTube channel, which features videos of “the greatest car shenanigans,” has 924,000 subscribers.

The video that led to his arrest, “Destroying a Lamborghini With Fireworks,” is no longer available on YouTube.

According to an affidavit filed with the complaint, Choi posted the “Destroying a Lamborghini with Fireworks” video to his channel on July 4, 2023.

In the video, Choi allegedly presses a “fire missiles” button while two women in a helicopter shoot fireworks at a speeding Lamborghini.

Law enforcement officials believe the video was shot at the El Mirage Dry Lakebed in San Bernardino County, per the U.

S.

attorney’s office.

After the initial footage of the fireworks being shot at the Lamborghini, the 10-minute, 45-second video showed a behind-the-scenes look at how Choi shot the first portion of the video.

According to federal authorities, Choi allegedly made various references to himself coordinating the shoot and directing the video.

In other parts of the video, Choi was shown next to the helicopter, holding what appears to be a firework, according to the affidavit.

Additionally, in the video, Choi thanked a camera company for “being a part of my crazy stupid ideas.

” He also allegedly said in the video that the group that helped make the video “messed up” at one point “because I forgot to tell my friend how to use a torch,” according to the U.

S.

attorney’s office.

Choi made his initial appearance on Thursday in U.

S.

District Court for the Central District of California and was released on a $50,000 bond, according to the U.

S.

attorney’s office.

Choi’s arraignment is scheduled for July 2.

Law enforcement officials said they believe Choi committed the offense sometime in June 2023.

Federal authorities allege he did not have a permit to film a shoot using fireworks on a helicopter and that he purchased the fireworks in Nevada because they were illegal in California.

The U.

S.

attorney’s office noted that a “complaint is merely an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
