F.T Island’s Choi Minhwan Pens Emotional Message To Fans About Previous Prostitution Allegations

F.T Island‘s Choi Minhwan made a post on December 18, 2024, on Weverse, to stress once more that he was not involved in prostitution. Previously, his ex-wife accused him of cheating on her through adult entertainment establishments.

He penned a note to fans, emphasizing that he had only been silent previously to protect the band.

I want to say a personal word to PRIs, whom I love more than anything in this world. I often feel that when I belong to a company, and when I belong to a group, there’s many things I have to protect rather than my own stance. I’ve never participated in prostitution unlike what has been in the news, and I don’t know how I can prove that the case was ruled as innocent not simply because there was not enough evidence, but because I didn’t do it… That’s why I was even more speechless.

As for the hotels and motels mentioned in the voice recordings, I had gone because I wanted some alone time. I know that it’s not easy for you to believe me, even if I ask you to. I wish there was sure evidence… I’m sorry that there isn’t. There’s also no way for me to say or explain anything… I just hope that you know it isn’t true. And I have no plans on running or hiding. I’m really sorry.

The case had been dismissed due to lack of evidence. While Minhwan insists that this was as he did not do it, netizens had remained unconvinced, claiming that it was hard to track down prostitution in the first place. You can read more about the case below.
