Will FTISLAND's Choi Min Hwan be dropped from ”Superman Returns” due to suspicions of visiting a brothel? KBS is ”currently investigating”

South Korean band FTISLAND member Choi Min Hwan has been the subject of controversy over his personal life regarding his brothel visits.

On the 25th, the KBS variety programme ‘Superman is Back’ revealed to Herald POP its position that it is ‘confirming’ Choi Min Hwan's appearance.

On the 24th, Choi Min Hwan's ex-wife Yulhee said via her YouTube channel Yulhee's House "Around a year before my divorce, there was a very big incident. My married life changed 180 degrees based on that time. I enjoyed living with my big family, but after that incident, it was very hard for me not to want to be in that house. It was also hard for me to face my family. He got drunk and touched me in front of my family and inserted money into my chest," she said, revealing that her main reason for divorce was Choi Min-hwan's frequent visits to his shop.

Yulhee continued by disclosing a telephone recording of Choi Min Hwan and his close senior colleague, Mr A, in the early hours of the morning over a period of several days between July and August 2022. In the recording, Choi Min Hwan made statements such as "I just sneaked out, but I want you to make an appointment" and "I have to settle 2.3 million won (about $250,000) last time, but I want you to send me the account number and telegram it to me."

Not only that, Yulhee also made a promise to Choi Minhwan not to expose his children to the programme, but also pointed out that they appeared on ‘Superman is Back’. The viewer noticeboard on the programme's website was flooded with complaints and has been kept private.

Meanwhile, KBS ‘Superman is Back’ is a story about the challenges of raising a child by the hero ‘Superman’, whom children face for the first time in their lives, and is broadcast every Sunday at 9:15pm on KBS in Korea.
