Scandal and Controversies
Himchan was one of the member of B.A.P who was involved in some controversies before he was inactive. In September, 2018, Himchan was being investigated with The Gyeonggi Namnyang Police Precint for sexually harassing a woman. He was accused of having sexually harassed a woman in her 20s while they were on a vacation together with other two men and another women. When he was investigated, Himchan stated that he was only hanging around with his friend, but the police still wanted to find out the truth since two of the others in the group gave a different story. TS Entertainment released an official statement with regard to the controversy, saying that there was a misunderstanding during an event where Himchan was invited, and it was investigated by the police who took him based on a report of a prosecution. Meanwhile, the investigation hasn’t gotten any results yet, and the agency will give an update when more is known. Due to the scandal, Himchan, who was appeared on B.A.P’s variety program called B.A.P’s Traince, will be edited and removed from the scenes which featured himself. In this variety show, each member will be filming their own special episode, and Himchan’s will be removed due to his involvement in the scandal of sexual harassment.
Sexual Harassment
On July 24, 2018, Himchan was reported to have sexually assaulted a woman in her 20s, in Namyangju. The victim revealed that there were three guys and three girls who hang out together, and one of them was Himchan’s alleged victim. The case has currently been sent to the Uijeongbu District Prosecutor’s Office, and since the controversy has surfaced, some of Himchan activities have been put on hold for a while, pending the results of the investigation.
Poisoned by Sasaeng
In 2012, there was a news item about Himchan, that he had been being followed by his sasaeng (stalker, more or less) and was poisoned through his drink. There’s a screenshot of a conversation between a friend and Himchan’s sasaeng that she actually gave him a cup of coffee that had been mixed with constipation meds. The chronology began when B.A.P was still promoting with ‘Power‘, and the sasaeng said that she gave him the coffee mixed with constipation meds while Himchan walked by her on the way to work. The sasaeng had no idea what could possibly happen to a person who took the constipation medicine, and she waited for him in the broadcast hall and asked him if he drank the coffee, and he said he did. When you watch the B.A.P performance below, you can see that Himchan’s face is really pale and his expression is doesn’t look like he normally does.
On the stage, Himchan looked unstable and kept falling over. It was also reported that he looked to have injured his back, but went back to performing. The sasaeng reacted by saying it was fun to see Himchan suffering, and she had another, worse, plan to make it happen for their next comeback. Sasaengs are mostly known as extreme fans. They don’t support the idols in a good way, but only want to see them experience horrible things. They’ve done insane things to the idols.
