During a recent concert, Hongki from F.T. Island addressed the prostitution allegations against his bandmate Minhwan. Hongki shared his thoughts on the situation, asking fans to be patient and wait for the final results before jumping to conclusions.

Un spectateur a rapporté que Hongki avait longuement discuté de cette affaire, soulignant que l'opinion publique pouvait être partagée quant à savoir si Minhwan devrait quitter le groupe ou non.

Responding to fans’ growing frustration, Hongki shared on social media: "Thank you so much. Today, I gained a lot of strength thanks to my best friend [the fans]. I’m grateful that we could meet in person and share what was on our hearts. From now on, I’ll keep meeting and talking with new friends. Face-to-face conversations let you communicate things more clearly without misunderstandings than in writing. Thank you so much!"

After the concert, a particularly tense interaction took place on Weverse where Hongki responded firmly to a fan criticizing Minhwan and himself. The fan suggested that even allegations of "visiting prostitution establishments" were enough to lose fans' support and that there was "nothing to look forward to." Hongki replied: "And what if it wasn't prostitution or a prostitution establishment? Will you take responsibility for what you're saying now?"

Les réactions à cette déclaration de Hongki ont été majoritairement critiques, de nombreux internautes remettant en question sa position. Cependant, certains préfèrent rester neutres, croyant qu'il pourrait y avoir des informations que le public ne connaît pas, compte tenu de l'assurance avec laquelle Hongki parle.

Netizen comments include a range of reactions, from accusations that Hongki used an "accusatory tone" toward fans, to defenses of his position, noting that there may be aspects of the situation the public doesn't fully understand.

Cette controverse soulève des questions sur la manière dont les allégations sont traitées dans l'industrie du divertissement et le rôle des fans et des médias dans ces situations délicates. Quelles sont vos réflexions sur cette affaire ?
