KBS2TV's "Salibam" capture.
While FT Island member Choi Min-hwan has been accused of prostitution and forced harassment, broadcasters have begun to "eliminate Choi Min-hwan."

KBS's "Superman Is Back" (hereinafter referred to as "Sudol"), which contained Choi Min-hwan's parenting routine, deleted all videos featuring Choi Min-hwan and his children.

Choi Min-hwan joined "Sudol" in April after divorcing Yul-hee. He introduced himself as "Choi Min-hwan, father of three children," revealing his daily life with three siblings.

When suspicions of Choi Min-hwan's prostitution emerged, Shudol said it was "to protect three children," erasing videos containing the daily lives of Choi Min-hwan and his three siblings from KBS' website, portal site, and domestic OTT wave, and saying, "We are also deleting official YouTube videos."

In addition, KBS2 entertainment program "Salim Men Season 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Salim Nam") suspended the replay service for Choi Min-hwan's appearance and switched the VOD of the episodes on KBS's official website to private.

Choi Min-hwan joined "Salimnam" with his ex-wife Yul-hee in December 2018 and revealed his daily life. These families, who dropped out in February 2020, rejoined in September 2021 and stayed together for about a year. However, the video cannot be viewed as the broadcast is closed to the public.

Meanwhile, on October 24, Yul-hee said she learned of Choi Min-hwan's entry into the business a year ago through her YouTube channel, and released a transcript of Choi Min-hwan's phone call with a man who is an official of the business, causing a stir.

The police will investigate Choi Min-hwan on charges of prostitution and forced harassment.
