Choi Min-hwan's Silence Deepens Amid Ongoing Prostitution Allegations

In response, public criticism has extended to Lee Hong-gi, who defended Choi Min-hwan. On the 25th, Lee wrote on the fan platform Weverse, “It’s their personal lives. This happened, and they should admit mistakes, apologize, and move on. But let’s not believe everything too easily; I have to stand by them, even if that means being hit by rocks.”
The debate is less about verifying the transcript and more focused on the ethical implications, especially given Choi Min-hwan’s role as a father. While reports indicate an internal investigation into the prostitution claims is underway, there is no official statement yet from Choi Min-hwan. Public sentiment remains critical, with many unwilling to support him if the allegations prove true.
Choi Min-hwan has since stepped back from the public eye, dropping out of KBS2’s 'The Return of Superman' and choosing to perform drums backstage at FT Island’s recent Taiwan show. He will also be replaced by a session player at next month’s Grand Mint Festival. Nonetheless, the public awaits his formal response to these accusations.
