F.T Island’s Choi Minhwan Addresses Fans Regarding Previous Prostitution Allegations

Choi Minhwan from F.T Island took to Weverse on December 18, 2024, to once again deny allegations of involvement in prostitution. These allegations stemmed from claims made by his ex-wife yulhee, who accused him of infidelity through visits to adult entertainment venues.

In his message, Choi Minhwan expressed his commitment to protecting the band, explaining his previous silence. He stated:

“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.”

Legal Outcome and Public Reaction

The legal case against Choi Minhwan was dismissed due to a lack of evidence. Despite this, skepticism persists among some netizens, who argue that the nature of prostitution allegations makes them difficult to substantiate or refute conclusively.

One user commented:

“I just want to believe in his words because he has always been straightforward. I hope he stays strong.”

Another wrote:

“It’s not easy to clear allegations like these without concrete evidence, but I really hope he’s telling the truth.”

Choi Minhwan’s statement aims to clarify his position and appeal directly to his fans for understanding and support. However, the response from the public has been mixed, with some netizens questioning the veracity of his claims.

The controversy has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on Minhwan, his career, and his fans.
