Choi Min-hwan opened his mouth when he came out 'Not guilty of sex trafficking'...'Yulhee's one-sided argument spreads as if it were true.'



Choi Min-hwan of FT Island opened his mouth regarding allegations of prostitution and forced harassment.

Choi Min-hwan said on the 29th, `First of all, I sincerely apologize to the fans for causing trouble because of me.'

As for the reason for the delay in announcing his position, Choi Min-hwan thought it was right to convey my position after a police investigation revealed that there were no charges, and the time was a little longer for an accurate investigation", he explained.




At that time, many articles poured out even in every word of the members..And in a situation where the other party's unilateral claims, false facts, and numerous distorted speculations spread as if they were true, I thought that making a hasty statement without any consequences could make the situation worse. Above all, I thought that I should organize the situation well for my three children," he said.

Then "To the fans..." To the members.. I sincerely apologize. 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 bow down and apologize for disappointing you with my actions."

Choi Min-hwan was suspected of entering a prostitution business and forced harassment of Yul-hee due to the revelation of his ex-wife, Yul-hee, and the police recently decided not to send him to the prosecution after an investigation.

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.

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.
