However, troubling allegations from his past are making headlines again. Initially raised during his period Boys II Planetthe allegations include serious claims from an alleged ex-girlfriend. He accused Lee Wonwoo of:
Cheating on her with multiple women at the same time.
Getting a younger girl pregnant and supposedly forcing her to have an abortion.
Using her for sex and treating her like an object.
An excerpt from his original post reads:
“Later, I found out that he was irresponsible towards that girl, and even got her pregnant and asked her to have an abortion. At the same time, he also had affairs with other girls. The three of them had overlapping schedules. He completely played with each other’s feelings and had no underlying goal.”
As these claims circulate again, fans and netizens are expressing growing concern, not only about the alleged behavior, but also its potential impact on the group as a whole. Many are now calling on his agency to release a statement and clarify whether he will remain part of DAILY:DIRECTION’s debut lineup.
As the group’s debut approaches, pressure is mounting for the company to address the allegations and reassure fans that the other members will not be unfairly affected by the controversy surrounding Lee Wonwoo.
