FT Island's Lee Hongki recently shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding the band's guitarist, Choi Minhwan.

FT Island recently performed at the Grand Mint Festival 2024 held at Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul, at 6.30 PM on the 2nd.

At the beginning of their performance, the band performed live without mentioning anything about the issue. However, toward the end of their performance, the vocalist, Lee Hongki, indirectly expressed his feelings about the controversy by saying, "I felt so f*cking unfair. It feels like the world is f*cking against me. But I will keep making music until I die."

The audience responded by turning on their phone flashlights while singing along, showing their support for Lee Hongki and Lee Jaejin.

-Idiotㅋㅋ

-Does he still have fans...?

-???? He still doesn’t understand what the problem is, does he?

-? Why doesn't he explain what's so unfair and why he feels like the world is against him...

-Oh Gosh... I won't f*cking listen to your music now. I lost every bit of remaining affection I had towards himㅡㅡ

-What exactly does he find unfair?

-Why would he say something like that, not even at his own concert but at a festival..? The audience must’ve been confused... And I'm not saying this just because he's Lee Hongki. I really hate it when any artists curse on stageㅠㅠ

-Explain why you feel like the world is against you..........

-What is he saying?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What's wrong with himㅋㅋ

-By the way, Choi Minhwan is a drummer, not a guitaristㅋㅋ

-I’m completely turned off this time..🤢

-I want to know what exactly is so unfair to him...

-Sigh... Grow up a bit.

-Hongki-ya, you’ll be 40 in five years…

Questioning Lee Hongki the same thing, 'If Choi Minhwan was really involved in prostitution. Can you be responsible for what you said?'

FT Island's Lee Hongki is under fire for his recent remarks.

On the 26th, Lee Hongki responded to a comment in the official fan community on Weverse, saying, "What if it wasn’t prostitution or a prostitution establishment? Are you willing to take responsibility for what you’re saying right now?"

This was in response to a fan's comment: "The issue here is not fact-checking the exposé, but whether or not someone who's now a father to a son and daughter has been involved in prostitution. Not to mention that there's already more than enough evidence of this. They're even investigating the prostitution charges. What more is there to wait for? Just know that no one wants to cheer for someone who visits the prostitution establishment as often as they eat every day."

The day prior, Lee Hongki had also drawn attention by defending Choi Minhwan, saying, "It was their private life but it turned out like this. He should admit his wrongdoing and apologize. But let’s not believe everything so easily." He added, "I must protect him. I must endure this. That’s who we are. All I can do is move forward while taking the hits."

While fans hope that the allegations made towards Choi Minhwan turn out to be false, they criticize Lee Hongki's remarks were careless, especially given that the audio recordings that have surfaced. Lee Hongki's posts have since been deleted.

Currently, the Seoul Gangnam Police are conducting an investigation into Choi Minhwan for solicitation under the Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts.

-Why is he asking an innocent fan to take responsibility?

-I hope he'll make a wise choice.

-That's trueㅋㅋㅋ Lee Hongki, make sure you take responsibility for what you said as well. You even threatened an innocent fan, take responsibility for that.

-I really want to ask him that question.

-Lee Hongki, bye.

-He still denies it all even after listening to the recording?

-Just stay quiet, geez.

-Why did he talk to a fan like that? That's very thoughtless of him.

-He's the worst for threatening a fan who just expressed her concert.

-Did he really need to talk to a fan like that? It's not like the fan said anything wrong.

-Why hold the fan accountable? What the f*ck?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why is he lashing out at fans?

Thank you so much.

I gained a lot of strength from my closest friend today.

I’m glad we could meet in person and talk about the things we wanted to say.

I’ll make sure to meet and talk directly with the friends we’ll meet in the future, too.

It’s easier to convey things clearly in person, without misunderstandings, rather than writing it out.

I’m really, really grateful!!

-Wow, what an impressive friendship.

-Why is he like thatㅋㅋㅋ

-Birds of a feather flock together, I guessㅋㅋㅋ

-But I knew they wouldn’t make him leave. For men, prostitution is nothingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-To them, prostitution must really not be a big deal...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He’s probably the sameㅋ

-What’s there to wait and see?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Honestly, this only makes me wonder if he did it tooㅋ

-The loyalty among men is insaneㅋ

-Disgusting.

-Impressive…ㅋ

-Why not bring Jonghoon back to the group while you're at it then?

-Birds of a feather, you know?"

-Whoa... I'm really disappointed

Fan: The issue here is not fact-checking the exposé, but whether or not someone who's now a father to a son and daughter has been involved in prostitution. Not to mention that there's already more than enough evidence of this. They're even investigating the prostitution charges. What more is there to wait for? Just know that no one wants to cheer for someone who visits the prostitution establishment as often as they eat every day. Anyway, you did great at today's show. Rest up well and think about it again after taking a breakㅎㅎ;;

Lee Hongki: What if it wasn’t prostitution or a prostitution establishment? Are you willing to take responsibility for what you’re saying right now?

theqoo

-Goodbye.

-Is staying quiet that hard for you? Sigh.

-It’s over.

-Hmm..... Why would you go to a motel in the early morning with a woman you just met then...... And why would you make a 2M KRW payment through Telegram..........

-Birds of a featherㅋㅋ

-What's wrong with him?

-Ah....... FT Island is done for........

-So, he's saying that if it's not prostitution but a hostess club, it's okay?

-Do you think people are stupid?

-So he's saying that they just had drinks and talked....?

-I'm not even surprised.

-Then where did he go exactly??????........ㅋㅋ Can he explain??

-How can he be so sure?

-I feel bad for the fan. This just shows how little he thinks of them.

-Hongki-yaㅜㅜ What's wrong with you?

-So this is why they’re in one team~~

-Why shift the responsibility?
