After being legally cleared of prostitution solicitation and sexual assault, FTISLAND‘s Minhwan has been making an attempt to get his fame again with quite ridiculous excuses for his conduct. That took one other hit when he was uncovered for admitting to police he visited grownup leisure amenities final month.
Apparently his response to the continued backlash was to make his case to Dispatch, through which he blames the divorce on Yulhee. It’s a prolonged article and gives textual content exchanges (learn in full right here), however basically Minhwan claims she was the foundation of their conflicts, which began along with her “working away” and “sleeping all day”.
In August 2021, Minhwan instructed his supervisor he was doing to divorce Yulhee after a giant combat, however the supervisor appeared extra understanding of her than he did they usually reconciled.
Choi Minhwan (C): I feel I’m going to divorce
[…]
Supervisor (M): Is that this April’s Fools?
C: I don’t know, however that is true ㅋㅋ It’s actual
M: Why are you divorcing? Did you guys combat?
C: Yeah. We had a giant combat and she or he left the home
M: You have got 3 youngsters, what are you speaking about? Why are you preventing?
C: No however I fought along with her as a result of she sleeps on a regular basis. I don’t get her. How are you going to sleep all day lengthy…
M: In all probability as a result of childcare is tough
C: I see her do that on a regular basis, what’s so arduous about childcare? She by no means modified a single diaper, she doesn’t feed the youngsters, she doesn’t care about them
M: It will be arduous for her to need to sleep, she’s most likely caring for the youngsters whenever you’re not there no? It’s not proper to combat if it’s simply because she sleeps a bit a lot
C: I’m residence on a regular basis ㅋ Critically I’m telling you she sleeps all day
M: That’s solely lately although, you discharged solely lately
C: Even so, I work at 8am and are available again at 4pm
M: She have to be working as soon as you permit for work. And he or she’s younger, she most likely needs to hang around however she will’t. She’s most likely having a tough time, and she will’t even exit as a result of it’s COVID
C: The infants nap for 4 hours intervals. Ugh I don’t know this may drive me loopy. I can’t do that…
M: There are such a lot of relations, so she will’t exit and it have to be robust for her. You sleep too, however what would you say if she complained about that? It’s arduous. Why are you speaking about divorce? Apologize rapidly and go get her, go together with your mother
M: No however you need to sleep with moderation. I’m telling you she sleeps for 18 hours. We have been preventing yesterday and she or he out of the blue took [the eldest] and left
C: She have to be drained. She must be taking some dietary dietary supplements. What are you guys going to do for those who combat? Go get her quick
M: Ugh f*ck this isn’t the problem…ㅋ
C: You possibly can’t divorce, simply maintain again
M: I actually need to arrange for divorce
As many have already identified, that’s certainly not regular, but it surely appears like post-partum melancholy as a consequence of having three youngsters in 18 months, and it’s a well being concern quite than a motive to ditch his spouse. Additionally, if my dad or mother ever mentioned something like “what’s so arduous about childcare” to one another after an extended day of caring for me and my sister, they could’ve killed each other.
Anyway, Minhwan then talks about visiting an institution in 2022 that triggered battle. He describes it as a karaoke bar, and when pressed about what he meant when he requested about ladies, he mentioned it was solely as a result of there have been no rooms accessible on the karaoke bar. He insists the incident was not the explanation for his or her divorce as a result of she forgave him and by no means introduced it up.
Nonetheless, Choi Min Hwan emphasised that visiting the institution was not the explanation for his or her divorce. Choi Min Hwan defined, “After we agreed on the phrases of our divorce, that challenge was by no means even introduced up. The primary motive was our incapability to bridge the hole in our life. So why is she out of the blue mentioning the institution challenge as the reason for the divorce and demanding alimony?”
He’s both comically naive or simply appearing prefer it in some cynical ploy to attraction to the general public. Like for positive, man, simply trigger she doesn’t wanna carry up you (allegedly) banging prostitutes, it means she didn’t care a lot.
Later, in August 2023, Minhwan says her sleeping and working away once more triggered points, which result in them leaving individually in September. He says she has solely visited the youngsters 15 instances in 13 months since then, and that she’s not the first caregiver, he’s.
Talking of that dispute, Minhwan then complained about what Yulhee needs within the new divorce phrases and says he can’t meet the calls for.
Choi Min Hwan defined to Dispatch that Yulhee then overturned the agreed divorce phrases, demanding 100 million KRW (roughly 68,142 USD) in alimony and 1 billion KRW (roughly 682,000 USD) in property division. She additionally requested custody of their kids, demanding little one help funds till the youngsters reached maturity.
Choi Min Hwan has firmly said that he “completely” can’t meet Yulhee’s calls for. From his perspective, Yul Hee was the decisive reason behind their divorce, which had already been finalized.
Dispatch reached out to Yulhee’s aspect, however they didn’t reply, which was most likely the best transfer given how this went for Minhwan.

Not that there was actually any motive to consider Minhwan’s aspect to start with, however this interview definitely doesn’t assist his case. He comes off like an uncaring husband that wished his spouse to be a maid and nanny, and his bewilderment about why she “modified her thoughts” concerning the alleged prostitution stuff simply exhibits how out of contact he’s with actuality. He appears to consider as a result of that was “settled” that it’s a non-issue or one thing, however in fact it impacted their relationship. The result of this interview was principally that it felt like she wanted assist with postpartum melancholy after the twins have been born, and it took till lately for her to get well from that since he solely piled on on the time. That’s not going over properly with anyone.
Actually although, regardless of all this, it’s most likely finest if he doesn’t get “cancelled” and is allowed to proceed in FTISLAND because the youngsters will want the cash. Although it’d be arduous accountable any followers for turning their backs on him given what he’s inflicting on himself at this level.
