Choi Minhwan to be replaced by a different drummer during F.T. Island's set at 'Grand Mint Festival 2024'

F.T. Island will perform as planned on the main stage at 'Grand Mint Festival 2024' on November 2 KST. 

On October 26 KST, the organizers of the 'Grand Mint Festival 2024' stated, 

"Hello, this is 'Grand Mint Festival 2024'. 

We apologize for delivering this urgent notice in the late hours of the evening due to unexpected reasons.

After discussing the matter, it has been decided that F.T. Island will perform on November 2 with a replacement drummer instead of member Choi Minhwan. If further developments arise, we will notify you promptly.

We ask for your understanding." 

Earlier this week on October 24 KST, Choi Minhwan's ex-wife Yulhee confessed that one of the decisive factors leading to the couple's divorce was Choi Minhwan's regular visits to adult establishments. Yulhee even exposed a phone conversation recording between Minhwan and an acquaintance, seemingly containing evidence to suggest that Minhwan had intended to visit a hostess bar without Yulhee knowing. Afterward, Choi Minhwan's case was picked up by the Seoul Gangnam Police, and the musician will soon face an investigation for suspected solicitation of prostitution.
