FT Island agency FNC Entertainment reported on the 25th that `FT Island member Choi Min-hwan will not attend the 'Grand Mint Festival 2024(GMF 2024)' at Olympic Park on November 2nd.'
"Choi Min-hwan's drum position will be replaced by a session, and other FT Island members (Lee Hong-ki, Lee Jae-jin) will appear on the same show and perform without a hitch based on the setlist they prepared," he said.
"Grand Mint Festival" FT Island's performance on November 2 will be prepared by replacing member Choi Min-hwan with a session performer, as discussed with the agency. "We will notify you promptly if there is any additional situation." he said.
Earlier, Choi Min-hwan's former wife 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 will drop out of the KBS2 parenting entertainment program 『Superman is Back』, and play drums backstage on the FT Island Asia Tour"2024 FT Island Live"Pulse" to be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on the 26th. Some criticize that it is unusual for a band singer to play backstage and that it is a 'backroom'.
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."
