Former The BOYZ Ju Haknyeon’s New Update On Alleged Prostitution Case Sparks Fury
Viral reports in May speculated that former THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon had allegedly met with former Japanese adult film actress Asuka Kirara at a private bar in Tokyo. This meeting sparked rumors that Ju Haknyeon engaged in prostitution, which he vehemently denied from the start.
On July 2, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station confirmed that they would not pursue prosecution against Ju Haknyeon. The authorities stated that, since the accusations are based on an internet article, there is insufficient specific reason or circumstances to start an investigation.
Police Make Decision On Former THE BOYZ Ju Haknyeon’s Alleged Prostitution Case
Soon after the reports surfaced, Ju Haknyeon was withdrawn from THE BOYZ and had his contract terminated by One Hundred Label. The agency had cited the “gravity of the situation” and mentioned that there was evidence being reviewed. However, the police have now revealed that the accusations were based on online articles and lacked sufficient grounds to warrant an investigation.
With the case dropped, many fans are expressing relief at Ju Haknyeon’s name being cleared — but also outrage over the way his agency handled the situation. On social media, posts criticizing One Hundred Label have gone viral, with fans calling out the company for allegedly failing to do a proper internal check before removing him from the group.
Many believe Ju Haknyeon deserved more support and transparency during the controversy.
it's so stupid and careless as fck for 100 to kick hak out without doing a fact-check that could've been SO EASY bcs hak came to them to clear everything. i hope you rot in the hell, 100.

Some are demanding formal apologies from both the agency and the media outlets that initially reported the story. Others have urged Ju Haknyeon not to return to One Hundred Label under any circumstances, stating that the company does not deserve him.
