FTISLAND’s drummer Choi Min Hwan reportedly sold his family home in Gangnam for 3.8 billion KRW (approximately 2.7 million USD) in August 2024. The sale comes amidst legal disputes and public controversies following his divorce from ex-wife Yulhee, a former member of LABOUM.
Details of the Property and Sale
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport disclosed the property’s sale through its real transaction price system, confirming the 3.8 billion KRW transaction value. Minhwan had purchased the home about a decade ago for 1.2 billion KRW (approximately 855,288 USD).
The property, situated in Yulhyun Dong, was custom-built by Minhwan as a multi-family residence. It features one basement floor and two above-ground floors, designed to accommodate Minhwan’s extended family. Minhwan, Yulhee, and their children previously occupied the main floor, while his parents resided on the upper level.
Following the couple’s divorce in December 2023, Minhwan reportedly continued living in the house with his children and parents, while Yulhee moved out.
Ongoing Legal Battles and Allegations
Minhwan is currently under police investigation for allegedly soliciting prostitution, a claim that has drawn significant public and media attention. Additionally, his ex-wife Yulhee has accused Minhwan of frequenting hostess bars during their marriage, fueling speculation about the reasons behind their split. These allegations have amplified the scrutiny surrounding the former couple’s turbulent relationship.
In response to the ongoing controversies, Minhwan’s agency, FNC Entertainment, issued the following statement:
“Given the seriousness of the situation and the ongoing investigation, Minhwan has decided to step back from his activities. We will cooperate fully with the authorities and ask for your understanding.”
