F.T. Island’s Minhwan will perform backstage during the band’s upcoming concert in Taiwan amid ongoing controversy and investigation.

K-Pop boy band F.T. Island fans were recently updated about the 2024 FTISLAND LIVE PULSE concert, scheduled for October 25 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. A statement from the concert organizers announced Minhwan’s limited participation, explaining, “After several communications, we regret to announce that Minhwan will perform behind the scenes due to personal reasons. He will not join the meet-and-greet sessions, but will send fans additional benefits in appreciation. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and support.”

Minhwan’s participation follows backlash from fans and the public after accusations emerged linking him to a prostitution case. Since the allegations surfaced, FNC Entertainment, his label, confirmed he would halt all public activities while police investigate the claims. Reports from his former spouse, Yulhee, also accused Minhwan of frequenting hostess bars during their marriage, adding to the intensity of public scrutiny.

For fans who had anticipated seeing Minhwan live, the news of his backstage-only involvement may be a disappointment, especially as his limited role is a direct result of his ongoing legal troubles.
