Lee Hong-ki, who leads FT Island, eventually deleted his article "Let's not believe it easily" in the face of controversy over Choi Min-hwan's cover".

Lee Hong-ki left a meaningful message on the fan platform Weverse on the 25th. He was "It was their personal life, and this is what happened. You have to admit you did something wrong and bow your head and apologize. Still, we should not all believe too easily."

Then "I have to protect it again, I have to endure it, that's who we are." What I can do is move forward by being hit by rocks."



Given the timing of Lee Hong-ki's post, it is presumed that he has Choi Min-hwan, a member who has recently been rumored to have privacy issues revealed by his ex-wife Yul-hee. However, it is not known whether Lee Hong-ki means Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee or Choi Min-hwan and former members Choi Jong-hoon.

The words 'I have to protect and hold out again' and 'That's us' are interpreted as saying that even if there is a member risk, it will not interfere with FT Island activities. Earlier, Choi Jong-hoon left the team in 2019 after being involved in the so-called 'Club Burning Sun incident' with Jung Joon-young. In addition, Song Seung-hyun, a guitarist, also left the team at the end of the contract that year.



On top of that, Choi Min-hwan, who was solid with the image of a single dad, seems to have mentioned it when he was suspected of prostitution due to the revelation of his ex-wife's transcript. However, there were many opinions that the phrase "I have to protect and hold out again" wrapped around Choi Min-hwan and shot Yul-hee by saying "Let's not believe it easily". As the controversy continued, Lee Hong-ki eventually deleted his post in a day.

In the end, Choi Min-hwan has stopped his activities due to the revelation of his ex-wife Yul-hee's private life. In the already scheduled performance, only drums were played backstage or replaced with sessions, preventing FT Island activities themselves.



Some netizens were beleaguered because they were not only asking for the withdrawal of FT Island.

Yulhee claimed on the 24th that Choi Min-hwan entered an entertainment establishment during his marriage and sexually harassed him in front of his parents-in-law through his personal account 'Yulhee's House'. In addition, Choi Min-hwan tried to take the children when the divorce came up, but he eventually handed over custody because Choi Min-hwan said he would give 50 million won in alimony and only 2 million won in child support, and Choi decided not to expose the children instead, but Choi broke the agreement and shot at KBS2 'Superman is Back'.

At the end, Yulhee released a transcript of the conversation between Choi Min-hwan and A. Choi Min-hwan refuses to return home until dawn and asks for a reservation for the business, "Do you have a girl?" and A says, "You have to wait an hour or two to be in a choise."He appears to be an official of an entertainment establishment, saying ". As a result, allegations of prostitution against Choi Min-hwan were raised, and a netizen came forward to file a complaint against Choi Min-hwan to the National Newspaper, and the case was assigned to the Women and Youth Division of Gangnam Police Station in Seoul.

In response, Choi Min-hwan's agency FNC Entertainment said, `Although it is difficult for us to grasp the details of personal privacy related to the marital problem, Choi Min-hwan feels responsible for the disappointment to the public and viewers and wants to stop all media activities, including broadcasting that he is appearing with his children.' `We apologize for causing inconvenience and concern to many people.'
