Group Shinhwa member Kim Dong Wan, who is embroiled in controversy over an exposé post, will proceed with the busking as scheduled.
Kim Dong Wan posted a notice on his channel on the 22nd saying, "3/24 busking will proceed as scheduled," and began checking participant numbers.
Earlier, he had said he would hold a busking without attendee limits on the outdoor stage at Iljasan Lawn Plaza on the 24th. He was doing this to determine the number of participants for busking sponsorship items.
Then on the 23rd Kim Dong Wan again posted a notice saying, "More people than expected plan to come, so I have hired a sound director and a security team. Because some attendees will come with their families, we are preparing so the performance can be safer and more comfortable." He said the busking schedule would remain unchanged despite the controversy sparked by an exposé post by a netizen claiming to be a former manager.
Kim Dong Wan has recently been the subject of controversy over a series of remarks. Earlier, he drew attention for comments advocating the legalization of prostitution, and after drunk driving he publicly supported MC Dingdong, who became controversial for assaulting a female BJ, drawing criticism.
Amid ongoing controversy, the previous day a netizen claiming to be a former manager released an exposé post about Kim Dong Wan, causing a stir.
Kim Dong Wan said the claims were "false allegations that do not reflect the facts," and said, "I will take all civil and criminal legal measures."
