On the 29th, Choi Min-hwan posted a lengthy article on his SNS account.
First of all, Choi Min-hwan explained the reason for the delay in the statement, saying, `I sincerely apologize to the fans for the trouble caused by me.'
He thought it was right to convey my position after the investigation revealed that there were no charges, and the time was a little longer for an accurate investigation"I let off the rhyme.
"At the time, numerous articles poured out even in every word of the members, and I thought it could make the situation worse if I prematurely express my position without any consequences at a time when unilateral allegations, false facts, and numerous distorted speculations of the other party spread as if they were true."I thought I should organize the situation well for the sake of my three children.", he explained.
At the same time, Choi Min-hwan apologized to fans and FT Island members.
He "I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I'm so sorry that I made you suffer and have a hard time because of me. It's a part I really regret and I'm deeply reflecting on it. "I sincerely apologize for disappointing you with my actions."
Finally, he said "I will do my best to show you more responsible and mature in the future. I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry and grateful to everyone who loves me because of this. I am truly sorry, and thank you very much."
On the same day, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said, `We decided not to send Choi Min-hwan because we judged that there was insufficient evidence to prove the criminal charges in the case of accusations such as the Sex Trafficking Punishment Act and forced harassment charges.'
Earlier, Yul-hee, a former member of the girl group La Boom, revealed the alleged prostitution of her ex-husband Choi Min-hwan through her YouTube channel.
Yulhee claimed in October that Choi Min-hwan had been in and out of business during his marriage, which had a decisive impact on the divorce. In addition, the transcript of Choi Min-hwan's phone call, which is suspected of prostitution, was released, making the impact even greater. Choi Min-hwan said with a man "There's no lady here today","Is there a hotel I can go to now. Motel is also good. We had conversations such as "I secretly came out, so please make a reservation for me.""
Yulhee also touched my body in front of my family, or put money in my heart because I was drunkThe revelation that " was also shocking.
In response, an accuser filed a complaint against Choi Min-hwan, claiming that touching his wife Yul-hee's chest or major part while her family was together does not correspond to the right to sexual self-determination and is judged to be a criminal constituent requirement for forced harassment. The police launched an investigation last month but decided not to send it.
In response to this ruling, Yulhee said "The case is not a decisive reason for the lawsuit. It was not accused by Yul-hee, nor was it said for punishment purposes. I can talk about whether I worked hard in raising children, but it's not a decisive reason why."
After revealing Choi Min-hwan's activities, Yulhee has filed an application for mediation to change parental rights and custody, alimony, and property division with the Seoul Family Court.
Meanwhile, Choi Min-hwan dropped out of KBS2's parenting entertainment show 「Shudol」, which he was appearing in, and the related video was deleted. FT Island will operate as a two-person system for the time being. Currently, Yulhee is suing her ex-husband Choi Min-hwan for the return of custody and alimony for the division of her property.
