FT Island’s Choi Minhwan speaks personally for the first time since the scandal
Minhwan claimed that Yulhee had spoken falsehoods against him, while apologizing to fans.
And in a situation where the other side is making one-sided accusations and telling lies, with many people making wrong assumptions, spreading them as if they were the truth, I thought a tortured statement from me would only make things worse. More than anything, I thought I needed to handle this situation well for the sake of my son.
To my fans and members I sincerely apologize. I am truly sorry that I made you struggle and suffer emotionally because of me. This is something I deeply regret and am sincerely reflecting on. I bow my head to apologize for disappointing you with my actions. In the future, I will try my best to show you a more responsible and mature person. I wanted to say to everyone who loved me despite this affair, that I am truly sorry and grateful.
— Minhwan
His statement only sparked further criticism from netizens. Since Yulhee came with voice recordings, netizens found it hard to believe him. Many pointed out that the investigation would fail to hold him legally responsible since there was no way to prove that he actually went to the factories. The recordings only showed him discussing the matter with the alleged broker.
- Men live life too easily.
- Please leave the group.
- Wow, he’s so shameless that he doesn’t leave the group. Barf.
- Why don’t you apologize to Yulhee, brat?
- How shameless LOL.
- It seemed like he reported the victim just so he could do this LOL. The victim also did not report it.
- He lives life so damn easily. Fuck you.
- Which part is the lie? Are there any recordings though?
- He didn’t apologize to the one he should be sorry to.
