Meanwhile, Lee Hongki recently found himself in the middle of a heated debate over his statements in defense of FT Island’s youngest member, Choi Minhwan, following accusations of facilitating prostitution made by his ex-wife, Yulhee.
Notably, Lee’s statements on fan platform Weverse state: “It was their private matter and that’s how things went. If they made a mistake, they should bow their heads and apologize. But shouldn’t we also avoid believing everything too easily? What if it wasn’t prostitution or a place of prostitution? Can you take responsibility for what you say?”
On November 30, Choi Minhwan clarified his position, announcing that the charges had been dismissed as unfounded. He stated, “With one-sided statements, falsehoods and numerous distorted speculations spreading as if they were facts, I believed that speaking prematurely without results would make the situation worse. Going forward, I will strive to be more responsible and mature.”
