Ju Haknyeon Makes Big Move Relating To His Alleged Prostitution Scandal

It was announced on June 18, 2025, that Ju Haknyeon would be leaving THE BOYZ. According to an exclusive report by News1, which cited Japan’s Shūkan Bunshun, Ju Haknyeon and acquaintances were spotted meeting former Japanese adult video actress Asuka Kirara at a bar in Tokyo’s Roppongi district. In the wake of the report, One Hundred Label swiftly ended their contract with Ju Haknyeon and confirmed his removal from the agency.

It was subsequently reported through an exclusive by Korean outlet TenAsia that he had solicited her prostitution services as well.
