Evan, formerly of Click-B, directly revealed the truth behind the 'second-generation chaebol' rumor that followed him during his heyday.
On the 31st, members of Click-B, who returned as a complete group after 11 years, appeared on the YouTube channel
That day Donghae brought up a past rumor surrounding Evan. At the time, there were stories that Evan's family was quite wealthy, and there was even talk calling him a 'Wall Street heir'.
Evan also spoke about the long-running 'chaebol' rumor. He said it was true that his parents lived in the United States, but he explained that the story that he was a second-generation chaebol was exaggerated and not accurate.
There was also a suspected trigger for the rumor. Evan said that at a time when Click-B was gaining popularity, he left the team to study in the United States, and he once visited the home of the company president where his father was in the U.S. However, as this story was relayed to others, it became distorted as if that house belonged to Evan's family, and as various stories were added, the grandiose label of 'Wall Street heir' emerged beyond the 'second-generation chaebol' claim.
In the end, the substance of the 'chaebol' rumor he revealed directly after decades proved to be an unexpected episode. The real facts of his parents living in the U.S. and his studying abroad were combined with absurd misunderstandings, solidifying into a 'legend' among idol fans at the time.
Meanwhile, Evan married a non-celebrity who is seven years his junior in 2019 and is currently the father of two daughters. After a long hiatus, he is meeting fans again through Click-B's full-group activities.<
