Shinhwa Kim Dong-wan, who was criticized for advocating for MC The Max's Lee Soo in the controversy over "underage prostitution," turned the online world upside down again after claiming "legalization of sex trafficking."

Earlier on the 17th, Kim Dong-wan wrote in his thread, "The whole country is becoming an entertainment district while trying to get rid of the entertainment district. I have no choice but to question the entertainment district in front of the church, in front of the school, and in front of the police box. It must be acknowledged and managed. As long as the reality of the increasing number of single-person families is left unchecked, we should not move on to the logic of "legalizing sex trafficking," he said.

Kim Dong-wan also said, "This issue has ambivalence. In response to a netizen's objection, "I hope the tax is collected, but let's legalize it, I wonder if that's right." Some people can't do it without paying money. It is the same in terms of disease management," he responded. Since then, Kim Dong-wan has suddenly changed his thread account to private.

However, the remarks soon spread online, sparking controversy among netizens. Then, on the 20th, Kim Dong-wan converted his SNS account to public again and raised his voice again, saying, "My concern is the influx of minors, the lack of disease management, and exploitation in illegal structures. I think the attitude of turning a blind eye to reality without protection and management may be to avoid responsibility while talking about morality."

In addition, Kim Dong-wan showed an attitude that did not care about the public criticism, saying, "Let's eat pizza and spread our shoulders."

The public's response to Kim Dong-wan's move is only cold. Unlike expressing "concern" about the influx of minors on the grounds of "legalization of sex trafficking," Kim Dong-wan has been criticized for advocating the completion of "the alleged sex trafficking of minors." This is why some point out that it is a "brilliant word and action."

In 2009, Lee Soo was suspended from prosecution on charges of prostitution for minors while serving as a public service worker. However, Kim Dong-wan posted a video of Lee Soo's performance of MBC's "I'm a Singer" in 2021, saying, "When can I listen to it. Lee Soo's voice heard from the audience," he wrote. In response, many fans agreed that it was inappropriate to support and defend the singer who committed sex crimes, but Kim Dong-wan said, "Wow, what a relief. You are disappointed in me," he said, causing disappointment.

Eventually, Kim Dong-wan posted a handwritten apology, saying, "My judgment was blurred due to heavy drinking, which disappointed and hurt many people." In addition, Kim Dong-wan recruited 99 fans on a first-come, first-served basis and said, "This is a place where I wanted to apologize directly to the fans who would have been surprised and disappointed," adding, "In the meantime, I was more confused and afraid than ever due to the thought of 'What have I done?' and 'I think I caused a great wound that cannot be reversed.' I would like to sincerely apologize for the disappointment and hurt you may have received.
