Choi Min-hwan was embroiled in allegations of business access and prostitution due to the revelation of his wife Yul-hee on the 25th. Afterwards, Choi Min-hwan announced that he would stop media activities, such as dropping out of KBS2 'Superman is Back'. However, the FT Island performance was intended to be enforced, but it was blocked by worsening public opinion.
Shilin Planning, who is in charge of planning FT Island's Taiwan performance, said in an emergency notice on the 25th that `After a lot of communication, Choi Min-hwan will perform behind the scenes due to personal factors. I'm not going to attend the event. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your generous understanding and support."
As a result, Choi Min-hwan humiliatingly participated in the performance of the '2024 FT Island Live 'Pulsein Asia' in Kaohsiung on the 26th.
Also, he was completely excluded from the festival stage. FT Island's headliner 'Grand Mint Festival 2024' said on the 26th that the FT Island performance on November 2 will be prepared by replacing Choi Min-hwan with a session performer, as discussed with the agency.

In fact, FT Island withdrew Choi Jong-hoon in 2019 after he was caught up in the so-called 「Burning Sun Gate" and sexually assaulted women with Jung Joon-young and others, and shared illegal filming in a group chat room that included former Big Bang member Seungri. Choi Min-hwan is no exception as he has dealt with sex crimes like a knife.
However, on the 25th, Lee Hong-ki said on the fan communication platform Weverse, "It was their personal lives, and this is what happened." You have to admit you did something wrong and bow your head and apologize. But we shouldn't all believe it too easily. I have to protect it again and hold on. That's who we are. All I can do is move forward by being hit by rocks,' he posted, which seemed to defend Choi Min-hwan.
