On the 25th, Lee Hong-ki said on the fan platform Weverse, "It was their personal lives, and this 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 what Lee Hong-ki refers to the two's private lives means Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee, or Choi Min-hwan and former members Choi Jong-hoon.
Nevertheless, words such as 'I have to protect and hold out again' and 'That's us' are interpreted as an attempt to ensure that FT Island activities are not affected even if there is a member risk. Choi Jong-hoon previously left the team in 2019 after being involved in the so-called 'Club Burning Sun incident'.
At that time, Lee Hong-ki also had the nuance of giving up Choi Jong-hoon. On his account, he wrote, "While Hong-ki enjoys Hawaii with the stylist, Jong-hoon is in prison. Are you okay? Are you sleeping well?When a comment from a netizen posted ", he answered with a firm comment, "Eat well, sleep well, and poop well".

Song Seung-hyun, who was a guitarist that year, also left the team at the end of the contract. Accordingly, vocalist Lee Hong-ki, bassist Lee Jae-jin, and drummer Choi Min-hwan have been working as a trio.
However, as Choi Min-hwan was recently suspected of prostitution, team activities became difficult. Yul-hee revealed on her YouTube channel on the 24th that Choi Min-hwan's frequent access to entertainment establishments was a reason for divorce. At the same time, a transcript containing Choi Min-hwan's entry into the business was released, causing a stir.
In particular, with the mention of motels and toothbrushes, there is considerable speculation that Choi Min-hwan may have engaged in prostitution. In this regard, the National Newspaper filed a civil complaint against Choi Min-hwan on charges of punishment for prostitution, and the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul is investigating him. In the aftermath, Choi Min-hwan dropped out of KBS2's parenting entertainment program 'Superman is Back'.
The agency FNC Entertainment said "It is difficult for us to get a detailed picture of personal privacy related to marital problems."Choi Min-hwan feels responsible for causing disappointment to the large public and viewers," he said, apologizing, "I apologize for causing inconvenience and concern to many people."
In the meantime, "I want to stop all media activities, including broadcasts that I'm appearing with my children" he said. In other words, Choi Min-hwan's FT Island activities have virtually been suspended.

Lee Hong-ki seems to have expressed his upset feelings in this regard. In the meantime, some say that he shot Yul-hee in the expression 'Don't believe everything too easily'. Attention is focusing on how FT Island, which has become a band of 「Double in Crisis」 with Choi Min-hwan's withdrawal, will be able to overcome this difficulty.
