Kim had taken to Instagram to clear all allegations and his agency had also made a statement regarding the clarifications. Recently, another report in Koreaboo, a Korean media portal, suggested that he is accused of allegedly impregnating a woman. The website also reported that there are speculations that he had formerly made his co-members uncomfortable at times.
After all these allegations, former fans of the K-pop idol took the anger on his merchandises and photos. The former fans were disappointed as per their posts and also regretted being a fan of the singer all this time.
When Kim Woojin withdrew from Stray Kids citing personal problems as reasons for leaving, fans of the group were sad about his leave. However, now fans are feeling betrayed, as per their posts. The current members of Stray Kids include Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. Kim Woojin was part of the group since their survival show, out of which the group was formed.
He had also taken to Instagram to clear his name after a series of questions that were raised-
Hello. This is Woojin Kim.
Today, I'm going through an embarrassing thing, so I'm posting a post to inform the fans of the current status of both contemporaneous work.
Someone on Twitter has spread weird rumours and deleted your account...
I've never met him, and I've never been to the places mentioned.
Fans must have been surprised a lot, but don't worry too much because it's not true.
And, I recently signed a contract with a company I like, and I'm working hard for my solo activities.
The company is planning to take action against the spreaders of false information, and the company will respond afterwards, so please don't worry too much.
Then I'll deliver the news again. Thank you.
