In the chaotic FTISLAND, Hong Ki is ”Forever” amid the ripples of MIN HWAN...Jae Jin is ”Silent”

The activities of the band FTISLAND began to be thrown into chaos by Choi Min Hwan's alleged sex trafficking. The progress of the remaining members, Lee Hong Ki and Lee Jae Jin, have also attracted attention.

On the 28th October, Hong Ki greeted fans on his SNS by uploading a photo of a performance that took place with Min Hwan out of the picture.

He then wrote "Thank you so much. My closest friend gave me a lot of energy today. I feel fortunate that we were able to talk about what we wanted to talk about in person" and added, "I will talk to everyone who meets us in the future in person. I'll talk to everyone I meet in the future in person, because it's easier to get the message across without misunderstandings than in writing. We really appreciate it a lot!" He also revealed, "We are very happy that we could meet in person." He also added the hashtags ‘FTISLAND’ and ‘Forever’.

This was an update of Min Hwan's thoughts on the performance, in which he only participated as a performer backstage after the sex trafficking scandal. Prior to this, Hong Ki twice sparked controversy with defensive remarks against Min Hwan. Hong Ki said, "It's our personal life together and this happened. We have to admit what we did wrong, bow down and apologise. Still we shouldn't believe everything too easily", or to a fan who asked for action, "What if he wasn't a sex trafficker? Would you take responsibility for the words you just made?" He replied.

The statement uploaded by Hong Ki was unclear, neither a certification nor a denial, but by reducing Min Hwan, who has a child and a family, to ‘their personal life’ for being involved in the sex trafficking allegations and implying that Yulhee's revelations were false, it was similar to defending Min Hwan in the end The comments that continued the tongue-war with fans have now been erased.

Meanwhile, Jae Jin similarly uploaded his thoughts on the same performance on the 26th, but did not comment specifically on Min Hwan. Jae Jin added a short sentence with the photo, "Thank you, thank you again." After ‘FTISLAND’ former member Choi Jung Hoon's left the team due to a sex scandal. It remains to be seen what steps they will continue to take in the brutal history that has once again greeted them.

On the night of the 24th, Yulhee revealed the background of her divorce from Minhwan, which had never been known before, on her YouTube channel ‘Yulhee's House’.
