Recent Controversy Surrounding Lee Hongki

In a separate and more serious context, Lee Hongki recently found himself at the center of a controversy. He came to the defense of Choi Minhwan, the youngest member of F.T. Island, amid allegations of solicitation made by Minhwan’s ex-wife, Yulhee. Lee’s remarks, which he shared on the fan platform Weverse, addressed the delicate nature of the situation.

He stated, “It was their private matter, and things turned out like this. If they’ve done wrong, 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 prostitution venue? Can you take responsibility for what you’re saying?” His comments sparked a debate about accountability and the challenges of navigating private matters in the public eye.

On November 30, Choi Minhwan himself responded to the allegations, declaring them baseless. He expressed his commitment to transparency and responsibility moving forward, stating, “With one-sided claims, falsehoods, and numerous distorted speculations spreading as though they were facts, I believed speaking prematurely without results would worsen the situation.”

As the situation unfolds, fans are closely monitoring both Lee Hongki’s and Choi Minhwan’s responses to these developments.
