FTISLAND's Choi Min-hwan finds himself in the midst of a scandal involving allegations of prostitution, leading to his departure from the show "The Return of Superman."
As a result of the controversy, the production team has decided to remove all official videos from the show's YouTube channel, following the termination of its VOD services. This measure aims to protect the children featured on the program. The abrupt halt follows a similar situation in September when actor Kang Kyung-joon faced infidelity allegations, prompting the show to discontinue certain episodes to safeguard its young participants.
Choi Min-hwan was implicated in the allegations after his ex-wife, Yulhee, disclosed details about their divorce, including accusations of his visits to entertainment establishments. With the release of recorded conversations regarding these visits, he has suspended all media activities. The investigation into his alleged involvement in violations of prostitution laws has been officially initiated by the police.
Meanwhile, FTISLAND continues its activities as a duo, adapting to the ongoing challenges. The group's commitment to navigating this situation reflects the complexities often faced in the K-pop industry amid personal controversies.
