On the 29th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that they have started an internal inquiry after receiving a complaint requesting an investigation into Choi for forcible molestation charges.

The complainant stated, "The act of touching the intimate parts of his wife Yulhee in the presence of family members does not align with the legal interest of sexual self-determination," adding, "This is judged to meet the criminal elements of forcible molestation."

Earlier, Yulhee, a former member of the girl group Laboum, raised allegations of prostitution against her ex-husband Choi on her YouTube channel 'Yulhee's House' on the 24th. Yulhee explained, "(Choi Min-hwan) touched my body and even stuffed money here (on my chest) in front of the family," and added, "How would someone that age know about establishments like that? Later, I realized such drunken behavior was a habit."

A police official stated, "An additional complaint for forcible molestation has been received through the National Police Agency's online complaint system, and an investigation will proceed alongside the prostitution allegations."
