On the 31st, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul assigned the case related to Choi Min-hwan’s alleged violations of the Law on the Punishment of Prostitution and Sexual Violence (Forced Harassment Through Family Relationships) to the Women and Youth Division and the Investigation Team 3 for a complete check. scale investigation.
The police plan to summon the complainant soon for questioning as a witness. However, details regarding Choi Min-hwan’s summons and the date have not yet been determined. When asked about the summons and whether any charges had been acknowledged, the police responded: “It is difficult to comment on a case on which the investigation has just begun.”
On October 25, FNC Entertainment told OSEN that they are currently verifying the claims involving Choi Min-hwan. The controversy erupted when LABOUM’s Yulhee, Choi Min-hwan’s ex-wife, posted a revealing video on her YouTube channel, “Yulhee’s House.”
In her video, Yulhee revealed, “About a year before our divorce a significant incident occurred. I overheard my in-laws talking badly about me. (My ex-husband Choi Min-hwan) would touch me inappropriately in front of the family or sometimes stick money (into my chest) when I was drunk. This happened even before I knew about the club incident.”
He further stated, “He would touch sensitive areas and grab my chest in front of his parents. I thought he was just drunk, but looking back, the pieces fell into place and I realized they were behaviors he wouldn’t change.
Additionally, he released a recorded audio clip, purportedly from 2022, in which Choi supposedly says: “I snuck out,” “Are there any girls?” AND “Please plan something good.” He also asks, “Send me the details on Telegram and I will transfer the money” revealing his desire to “go out and have fun”.
Following these revelations, attention has shifted to Choi Min-hwan’s future on FT Island. As a current member of the band, many recall former member Choi Jong-hoon’s departure due to his involvement in the “Burning Sun” scandal, speculating that Choi Min-hwan could face a similar outcome if Yulhee’s allegations are confirmed.
FNC Entertainment said it is carefully reviewing the situation due to the severity of the complaints.
Choi Min-hwan and Yulhee got married in 2018, had 3 children together, and announced their unexpected divorce last year after 5 years of marriage. Choi Min-hwan currently holds custody and shares his parenting journey in “The Return of Superman.”
