Yulhee, formerly of group Laboum, cut her long hair short and transformed into a bob cut.

On the 22nd, Yulhee posted a picture on her Instagram with the caption, “Goodbye, broken hair”.

The revealed picture shows Yulhee with short hair. Yulhee caught everyone‘s attention by perfectly pulling off the short hair and showing off her innocent charm.

Earlier, on October 24, Yulhee revealed a recorded phone call that Choi Min-hwan had visited an adult entertainment establishment. The recording contained a conversation in 2022 where Choi Min-hwan called an acquaintance and asked to make a karaoke reservation and hire a female hostess.

Choi Min-hwan later said through FT Island’s fan communication platform, “As reported in the media, I have never engaged in prostitution, and I am also not guilty due to insufficient evidence. How can I prove that I did not do it? That‘s why I had nothing more to say,“ he said, expressing his resentment.

He continued, ”I went to the hotel and motel that were in the recording because I wanted to be alone at the time. It would be good if I had concrete evidence, but I don’t, so I‘m sorry,“ adding, ”I had no way to speak or make excuses. Please just know that it’s not true. I have no intention of hiding or running away. I‘m truly sorry.“

When a fan left a comment asking for an explanation, saying, ”What did you mean by asking for adult products?“, Choi Min-hwan retorted, ”I don’t know if I should be saying this, but it‘s been a long time since I tied my hair. I don’t need a condom. My toothbrush is already clean, so I use it wherever I go.“

Meanwhile, Choi Min-hwan and Yulhee got married in January 2018 and have one son and two daughters, but divorced in December of last year. The children are currently being raised by Choi Min-hwan.
