Is F.T.ISLAND Heading Toward Disbandment? Lee Jae-jin Ignores Choi Min-hwan Amid Prostitution Allegations
On October 26, Lee Jae-jin posted a series of photos on his account with the caption, “#pulse #in #kaohsiung #thankyouagainandagain,” featuring images from F.T.ISLAND’s “2024 F.T.ISLAND Live Pulse in Asia” concert in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. In the photos, Lee Hong-gi and Lee Jae-jin posed together on stage, while Choi Min-hwan, due to the recent allegations, played behind the scenes and did not appear before fans. The post included no mention of Choi Min-hwan.
Earlier, leader Lee Hong-gi had shared concert photos, expressing, “Thank you so much. I gained strength today from my closest friend. I feel grateful to share what we want to say directly in person. To the friends we’ll meet going forward, we’ll talk face-to-face because things are understood better that way. Thank you again.” He also posted on the fan community Weverse, asking, “What if it’s not prostitution or a prostitution establishment? Can you take responsibility for your words?” but later deleted it amid backlash for seemingly defending Choi Min-hwan.
On Ocotber 24, Choi Min-hwan was implicated in a scandal after his ex-wife, Yulhee, revealed reasons for their divorce, along with an audio recording. In the recording, Choi Min-hwan reportedly said things like, “There are no girls in Gangnam today. Nowhere else either, right?” and “I really want to go out and have fun.” Choi Min-hwan has since halted all media activities, including broadcasts.
