During the divorce discussion, custody was handed over to Choi Min-hwan, but the superman returned afterwards' He added that the agreement was not followed by the appearance. As the recording of the conversation between Choi Min-hwan and an entertainment establishment official was released, controversy over the reservation of the entertainment establishment also grew.

Lee Hong-ki made remarks defending Choi Min-hwan at the time, but he was also criticized by public opinion when the recording was released. Afterwards, the agency announced that FT Island has decided to continue its activities as a two-person system of Lee Hong-ki and Lee Jae-jin. Starting with the Grand Mint Festival on Nov. 2, Lee Hong-ki and Lee Jae-jin will take the stage in place of a drum session.

The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul is currently investigating Choi Min-hwan on charges of violating the Sex Trafficking Punishment Act.
