 Police investigation into Choi Min-hwan's alleged prostitution FT Island is on the verge of cancelling the performance line for the second sex crime



FT Island is also on alert over Choi Min-hwan's alleged prostitution.

On the 24th, Yul-hee, a former member of the group La Boom who divorced Choi Min-hwan, opened her mouth with determination. Yulhee revealed that Choi Min-hwan entered the business through his personal channel 'Yulhee's House', and sexually harassed her in front of her parents-in-law, such as touching important parts of her, tearing her chest out, and poking money into her chest. They decided to divorce him, but Choi Min-hwan offered 50 million won and 2 million won in child support, giving up custody for his children.

Yul-hee's revelation completely turned public opinion upside down. The voice of sympathy for Yul-hee, who became a mother who abandoned her child and enjoyed life for giving up custody of her children, grew, and KBS2"Superman returned' There was a lot of criticism against Choi Min-hwan, who appealed his family image by appearing on his back.



A netizen filed a complaint with the National Newspaper asking for an investigation into Choi Min-hwan's alleged prostitution, and the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul allocated the case to the Women and Youth Division and launched an investigation.

In the end, Choi Min-hwan decided to stop broadcasting. The agency FNC Entertainment said on the 25th that `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 broadcasts that he is appearing with his children. We apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused to many people."

However, the plan is to push ahead with FT Island activities for now. FT Island's Asian Tour 'Pulse' is scheduled to perform in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on the 26th. Choi Min-hwan will also participate in the performance because the band's performance is particularly important, but it is unreasonable to replace members just a day before the concert.

The problem is the schedule afterwards. The 'Grand Mint Festival 2024' to be held on November 2nd invited FT Island as a headliner, but it is considering a performance of two people except Choi Min-hwan.



The omnibus performance of 'Live on Busan FT Island X Touched' to be held at KBS Busan Hall on November 17 is also uncertain.

The relay music festival 'Love in Seoul' which will be held at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall on November 24 is also discussing the appearance of FT Island in various ways.

FT Island has already left the team because Choi Jong-hoon was involved in Burning Sun Gate. He was sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting women in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, and Daegu after getting them drunk and distributing illegal filming in a group chat room that included former Big Bang member Seungri. FT Island kicked out Choi Jong-hoon due to the incident, but it is true that they had a hard time for a while. Since then, Lee Hong-ki, Lee Jae-jin, and Choi Min-hwan have gathered to continue their FT Island activities, but even Choi Min-hwan faced another crisis as he was suspected of entering the business and prostitution.
