Controversies
Racism Remarks against Black Fans
Before debuting, a shared Twitter account linked to Kiho surfaced with controversial posts, sparking criticism from international K-pop fans. FNC Entertainment quickly issued a statement and Kiho’s handwritten apology, clarifying that the posts were written by an acquaintance, not Kiho. He later addressed the issue in an interview.
Lawsuit Against Kiho’s Mother for Fraud
In September 2023, Kiho’s mother was sued for a 30 billion won fraud case, affecting a film’s release. Initially, the case received little attention, but a victim’s protest outside FNC Entertainment on February 1, 2025, sparked public interest. On February 17, the victim clarified that Kiho had been unaware of the incident and had sincerely apologized, expressing hope that he would not face further repercussions.
