Korean online forums are re-examining Minhwan’s past comments on the Burning Sun scandal following recent claims about his personal conduct from his ex-wife, Yulhee. The resurfaced messages are drawing criticism as they appear dismissive of the 2019 scandal involving former F.T. Island member Choi Jong Hoon.

The controversy rekindled after Yulhee released a YouTube video alleging Minhwan’s visits to adult entertainment venues before their divorce. This revelation has led fans and netizens to revisit Minhwan’s messaging to fans during the Burning Sun scandal, in which he described it as “not a big deal.” Minhwan’s comments at the time included:

• “Yeah, it’s an issue you don’t need to worry about!!”
• “It’s nothing~ but the articles came out so sensationalized that it bothered me too.”
• “I’ve never even been to Burning Sun or whatever, so it really upsets me to see our name mentioned in the headlines for no reason.”
• “Don’t worry everyone!”

The comments now seem jarring, especially as the Burning Sun scandal exposed a web of illegal activity within the entertainment industry, shocking the public.

Online users shared reactions:

• “What does he mean it’s nothing? The articles were sensationalized? Is he serious?”
• “His fans must feel so betrayed.”
• “Well, he did say he didn’t like going to clubs!”
• “So Burning Sun was the only place he didn’t go.”

The renewed attention and recent claims from Yulhee have painted Minhwan’s comments in a different light, with many questioning his judgment and integrity.
