MODHAUS Responds To Allegations Against idntt’s HwangBo MinGyeol + Halts His Activities Temporarily
MODHAUS has released an official statement in response to recent allegations involving HwangBo MinGyeol, a member of the agency’s upcoming boy group idntt.
Recently, a social media account shared claims from someone who alleged they knew HwangBo MinGyeol personally. The individual accused him of underage drinking and smoking, using his Muay Thai skills to threaten or assault people, as well as propositioning girls for sex and spreading malicious rumors to tarnish their reputations.
On July 21, MODHAUS addressed the controversy, stating that they are in the process of verifying the facts and thoroughly reviewing the allegations. The agency announced that they will “temporarily suspend HwangBo MinGyeol’s activities” and that he will resume his activities and join idntt’s second unit, yesweare, “once the facts are clearly established.” As a result, idntt’s first unit, unevermet, will debut as a seven-member group without HwangBo MinGyeol.
