FTISLAND member Choi Minhwan not too long ago took to Weverse to deal with followers following Yulhee (ex-LABOUM) outing him for allegedly dishonest on her throughout their marriage by visiting prostitutes. In it, he claims that he booked time at locations solely as a result of he wished to be alone.
“I wish to say a private phrase to PRIs, whom I really like greater than something on this world. I usually really feel that after I belong to an organization, and after I belong to a gaggle, there’s many issues I’ve to guard moderately than my very own stance. I’ve by no means participated in prostitution not like what has been within the information, and I don’t know the way I can show that the case was dominated as harmless not just because there was not sufficient proof, however as a result of I didn’t do it… That’s why I used to be much more speechless.
As for the lodges and motels talked about within the voice recordings, I had gone as a result of I wished some alone time. I do know that it’s not simple so that you can imagine me, even when I ask you to. I want there was certain proof… I’m sorry that there isn’t. There’s additionally no method for me to say or clarify something… I simply hope that you recognize it isn’t true. And I’ve no plans on working or hiding. I’m actually sorry.”
Skeptical followers understandably queried him about his personal phrases within the voice messages, asking why he would wish two of issues and what not if that had been the case. He … uh, tried his finest to make clear.
Fan: “You mentioned that you just went to the lodge since you wished to be alone. So why did you ask for 2 of X and two of Y to be ready? Did you not know tips on how to e-book the lodge by your self too? Do you not have reserving apps? And also you mentioned you didn’t do prostitution, however why is it that you may’t appear to say that you just’ve by no means been to grownup institutions?”
Minhwan: “I don’t know what X and Y are, however wouldn’t that be toothbrushes and hangover drinks? I don’t know if I can say this, however I’ve had a vasectomy for years so I don’t want a condom, and as for the toothbrush, it’s so frequent for hygiene. Why are you interested in it?”
Okay, in order that confirms the recording Yulhee shared is legit, for anyone who had doubts about that. Anyway, Minhwan nonetheless doesn’t clarify why he talked about “women” within the recording, nor why he referenced a “shirt room” (girls turn into shirts in entrance of shoppers). He additionally claims to not know what “X” and “Y” are but addresses the rampant hypothesis that one among them may very well be condoms anyway. Amusingly his logic maybe inadvertently outs him for pondering he wouldn’t want to make use of condoms with prostitutes simply trigger being pregnant isn’t a priority, which … come on, man.
Undecided how anyone affordable may imagine this nonsense.

Monitoring again a bit, as Minhwan alludes to in his assertion, it’s true that he was legally cleared about three weeks in the past of prostitution solicitation and sexual assault.
On November 29, the Seoul Gangnam Police acknowledged, “After reviewing the allegations towards Choi Minhwan relating to violations of the Anti-Prostitution Act and prices of sexual assault, now we have decided there’s inadequate proof to show the crimes and have determined to not refer the case for prosecution.”
I’m undecided anyone believed they’d have the ability to show these prices legally, and certainly an absence of proof was cited for dropping it. Nonetheless, as he has proven right here, there’s nonetheless no actual clarification that makes him look morally or ethically within the clear right here.
