Super Junior’s Choi Siwon has released a statement regarding recent allegations of involvement in coin fraud.
Recently, suspicions of a “scam coin” were raised surrounding a company that allegedly sold coins using the information of their company going public as bait. The Korea Youth Committee’s Youth Pay along with a few individuals were mentioned to be involved in the coin fraud, sparking suspicions of Choi Siwon’s involvement.
In regard to this, Choi Siwon released a statement on his YouTube channel community on February 12, strongly denying the rumors.
Read the full statement below:
"Hi, this is Siwon Choi.
I wish to express explicitly that I have no involvement with regard to the controversy surrounding the Korea Youth Committee’s Youth Pay. Furthermore, I have never been appointed as an ambassador for the Korea Youth Committee’s Youth Pay. While I have received an award at a ceremony organized by the Korea Youth Committee, this was in recognition of setting a good example for the youth, as intended by the committee, and is unrelated to the current controversy.
I want to make it clear that I have had no involvement in the Korea Youth Committee’s Youth Pay or any individual’s political activities."
