The prostitution accusation case against Minhwan F.T. Island has indeed been dropped due to insufficient evidence. However, Korean media Sports Kyung recently revealed the confession of Yulhee's ex-husband during police interrogation. Previously, Minhwan was accused of contacting a person associated with an entertainment venue, identified as A, on July 9, 2022 at around 5 a.m.
He allegedly asked about the location of prostitution and paid an unidentified woman for sexual services. Police investigations revealed that Minhwan and A used terms such as “table fee” and “woman” during their phone conversations. Police concluded that Minhwan likely asked A about entertainment venues.
In his testimony when questioned by the police, Minhwan reportedly admitted to frequently visiting adult entertainment venues. The man stated, "I did ask A and frequently visited entertainment venues, but I was never involved in prostitution, I can't even remember visiting the places mentioned." A also testified, "The conversation was about going to an entertainment venue, not a prostitution venue."
The police later decided that the recording of the conversation released by Yulhee was not enough to prove the prostitution charges against Minhwan. There is no additional evidence to refute the statements made by Minhwan and A. The police assessed that the recorded conversation was related to an entertainment venue, not a prostitution venue.
Yulhee reportedly refused to cooperate with the police and did not provide the original recording. The police also decided not to pursue the case regarding Minhwan's alleged sexual assault against Yulhee due to lack of evidence. Additionally, Yulhee refused to appear for questioning, citing concerns about the emotional impact on their children.
Yulhee stated that she did not want criminal charges or further investigation. In her initial accusations on October 24, 2024, Yulhee released an audio recording on her YouTube channel, claiming that Minhwan frequently visited entertainment venues while they were still married. The man's behavior was a major factor in their divorce.
The recordings include Minhwan asking A about places like “changing rooms” and “karaoke bars,” asking about the cost and availability of women. Minhwan also asks A to book a specific motel. Yulhee further alleged, "Choi Minhwan would grope me or stuff money into my chest in front of our family. At the time, I didn't understand such behavior, but later realized that it was a habitual form of drunken abuse."
