Hongki's Personal Updates on Social Media

In the wake of recent challenges, F.T. Island's dynamic vocalist Lee Hongki has taken to social media to share personal updates and reflect on the group's journey.

On November 11th KST, Hongki expressed his commitment to improving his physical fitness for upcoming performances as well as pursuing his hobby of golf. "I’m building my strength for performances, for golf, and also trying to manage my weight by adding more muscle and increasing my drive distance,” he posted, revealing his dedication to health and fitness.

Reminiscing on Concerts

Just a day earlier, he had fondly reminisced about a concert held in Macau, announcing, “With today’s concert in Macau, F.T. Island’s Pulse has come to an end. I kept saying ‘thank you’ over and over, but I truly mean it. It was a happy, warm, and fun memory. Let’s meet again and have fun.” He accompanied his heartfelt message with photos that captured the joyous moments shared with fans during the performance.

Navigating Challenges as a Duo

Alongside fellow member Lee Jaejin, Hongki successfully wrapped up the "2024 F.T. Island Live Pulse in Asia" tour. However, the journey was not without its trials. The group faced significant challenges following a scandal involving member Choi Minhwan, who has been alleged to have visited an adult entertainment establishment. As a result of the controversy, Minhwan performed from backstage, avoiding public appearances.

In light of current events, F.T. Island has decided to continue their tour and future activities as a duo, moving forward without Minhwan. In a show of camaraderie, Hongki made comments indicating his support for Minhwan during this tough period.

Minhwan's Personal Turmoil

Adding to the turmoil, Minhwan is navigating a divorce from his wife, Yulhee, a former member of LABOUM. Recently, Yulhee shared a recording on her YouTube channel that hints at Minhwan’s involvement in the scandal, further complicating matters.

Looking to the Future

Moreover, authorities have initiated a preliminary investigation into Minhwan concerning potential violations of the Anti-Prostitution Act. Fans and industry insiders are closely watching how this situation will unfold and what it might mean for the future of F.T. Island.

This notable turn of events has left many fans curious about the group's next steps and how they will manage the ongoing challenges. Will F.T. Island be able to regain their momentum, or will these setbacks redefine their trajectory? Only time will tell!
