On October 25, a recording surfaced suggesting that FT Island’s Choi Min-hwan had visited adult entertainment venues. Shortly thereafter, he announced his retirement from all media activities, including his role in “The Return of Superman” with his children. His agency, FNC Entertainment, apologized: “Choi Min-hwan feels responsible for having disappointed the public and viewers and has decided to suspend all media activities, including those involving his children. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
Choi Min-hwan, who had divorced Yulhee just three months earlier, had received support to raise his 3 children alone on the show. However, following the scandal surrounding his alleged visits to adult venues, he declared an end to all media appearances, including on YouTube, effectively marking his exit from the entertainment industry. Future business with FT Island is now uncertain.
Previously, Yulhee shared a video on her YouTube channel, revealing incidents related to the divorce. She claimed that Choi Min-hwan had touched her inappropriately in front of her parents and placed money near her chest during drinking parties.
Yulhee further revealed that during the divorce discussions, they had agreed not to expose the children to the media or use them as income. However, 3 months after the divorce, Choi Min-hwan appeared in “The Return of Superman” with the children, breaking that agreement.
The production team of “The Return of Superman” commented that Choi Min-hwan had decided to leave the show and that there was no unreleased footage left. Fans expressed disappointment with the situation, especially since Choi Min-hwan appeared to be using his children as a source of income, potentially causing them lasting harm.
The sacrifices made for the sake of children have now been overshadowed by Choi Min-hwan’s broken promises. In breaking his promise, he risks not only his reputation and future in entertainment, but also his trustworthiness and the well-being of his children.
