The Wave queer variety show 'Your Love' created a stir just a week after its release due to the 'Nude Room BJ' controversy involving Liwon. Amid this, one cast member revealed that they received inappropriate proposals from Liwon, and the controversy continues to unfold, entangling Ailee's husband Choi Si-hoon.
On the 1st, Han-gyeol, who is appearing on the Wave variety show 'Your Love,' revealed through personal social media that they received inappropriate proposals from Liwon. According to the revelation, Han-gyeol said, "I received a proposal to travel abroad together, and at first, I understood it as a simple travel invitation. However, as I heard more specific details such as going on dinner dates, I realized it was an inappropriate proposal that crossed the line. Accordingly, I clearly conveyed my intention to refuse."
Han-gyeol stated, "I want to mention that I am not the only one who received similar proposals. The false statement that the past has been sorted out should not be used as a cover that easily leads to sexual orientation for those in this industry," claiming that others, as well as themselves, have received inappropriate proposals from Liwon.
In response, Liwon outright denied the allegations, saying, "What the person refers to as 'travel abroad' was something that was exchanged jokingly during a conversation about food preferences in the accommodation during filming. It was a simple promise made in front of the camera."
Liwon remarked, "But I know that, having been someone who hid the past and appeared on broadcast, there's a lack of trust in my words. So, feeling like I'm grasping at straws, I attached evidence. However, I masked all the names to prevent secondary damage to anyone," revealing conversation messages.
The released message was processed anonymously, but it was presumed to be a message exchanged with Han-gyeol. Han-gyeol expressed anger, saying, "You claim to have treasured me until the end, but it seems I have a similar romantic relationship with you. What was the introduction from the Billboard representatives? Answer that. You can't name the title of the representative who said they would introduce me; you just changed the settings according to the target, right?"
In response, Liwon said, "No, that person is the Head of Team at Company B, and my influencer agency's representative is. I know that having been on a broadcast with my dirty past creates that chemistry, and I understand all the discomfort and disgust you feel. I've been thinking about it and still do. I will talk to the producer and see if I can ask for the editing direction you desire. I'm really sorry."
In particular, netizens pointed out that Liwon's highlighted sections become visible if the brightness is increased, leading them to speculate about the identities of the individuals sharing the messages. In fact, the messages in question were sent by Liwon to Han-gyeol, and the individual Liwon claimed to have introduced to Han-gyeol was revealed to be Ailee's husband Choi Si-hoon.
Choi Si-hoon became known as a male cast member in the first season of the Netflix original variety show 'Solo Hell.' He married singer Ailee on the 20th of last month and was in the midst of his honeymoon. However, it is unclear whether Choi Si-hoon actually holds the Head of Team position at Company B, or if he is indeed the representative of the agency Liwon is associated with. He has been known as a restaurant business mogul.
In relation to this, OSEN contacted a source familiar with Ailee and Choi Si-hoon to verify the facts. The source noted, "I understand that Ailee's husband Choi Si-hoon is related to N Company and is involved in influencer-related work. It is also true that he holds a representative position in the influencer agency." However, they added that they do not know the specifics regarding the Head of Team position.
However, after the report was published, it was confirmed that Choi Si-hoon is currently not an employee of Company B, and subsequently, Liwon changed her stance 180 degrees. Contrary to what she previously disclosed regarding the chat message captures, she stated that Choi Si-hoon is not the representative of the agency.
She said, "The person mentioned in the capture is someone who occasionally gives me professional advice, and they are not my private entertainment representative as some may have misunderstood. I had mentioned it first out of a pure desire to see if I could musically help the individual, and that person has never made any business proposal to me. Currently, the agency I am working for is a different typical TikTok agency, not the one mentioned."
Moreover, Liwon stated, "However, due to the mention of me, I intend to organize my work at that company to prevent baseless rumors or damage from spreading as it has with the representative. I sincerely ask that all unwarranted speculations and indiscriminate mentions regarding all my business relationships cease. I truly apologize for any inconvenience caused to the representative due to personal mentions."
Meanwhile, the Wave original variety show 'Your Love' is a program that captures the romantic reality of female same-sex couples. Since its first broadcast, it has been revealed that cast member Liwon was previously a BJ (broadcast jockey) on adult internet broadcasts, and there have been claims that she is not a homosexual. In response, Liwon left a statement acknowledging her past as a BJ but denying allegations of being heterosexual.
