The production team confirmed that Minhwan would be exiting the show altogether, effective immediately, with no upcoming episodes or segments pre-recorded for future airing.
“Choi Minhwan has decided to leave the show, and there are no pre-recorded segments,” KBS added in their statement.
This swift decision from KBS underscores the network’s focus on maintaining a safe and respectful environment for the children involved in the program. Minhwan, who had joined the show to share his experiences as a father, is now in the midst of a major controversy that has changed the course of his career.
Background on the Scandal
The scandal took a public turn when Minhwan’s ex-wife, former LABOUM member Yulhee, shared her account of events through a YouTube video. In the recording, she released audio files and detailed her perspective on the situation. This revelation added significant weight to the allegations and intensified the public’s response to the matter.
Adding to the impact, FNC Entertainment, Minhwan’s management company, recently made a public statement confirming that Minhwan will take an indefinite hiatus from his entertainment activities as the scandal continues to unfold.
“Minhwan will be going on hiatus following the scandal,” read FNC’s official statement.
With this development, KBS has effectively distanced the program from the scandal, choosing to remove content involving Minhwan as the network prioritizes the well-being of the children affected by the situation.
