Yulhee released a transcript containing a conversation between Choi Min-hwan and a business official, saying that Choi Min-hwan entered the business during his marriage and molested him. It contained content that made people suspect the circumstances of prostitution, and netizens filed a complaint with the police against Choi Min-hwan on charges of violating the Prostitution Punishment Act and forced harassment.

At that time, there were a lot of articles poured out even in every word of the members.. And with the unilateral claims, false facts, and numerous distorted speculations of the other person spreading as if they were true, I thought it might make it worse for me to make a hasty statement without any consequences.
Above all, I thought I should organize the situation well for my three children.
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 my head and apologize for letting you down with my actions..
