Ju Haknyeon says he never left The Boyz, vows to take legal action; One Hundred denies his claims
Ju Haknyeon released a statement on Friday where he again denied the prostitution allegations made against him and vowed to take legal action against media outlets publishing malicious articles about him. He also said that he never left The Boyz after The Boyz's agency, One Hundred, announced his departure from the group on Wednesday. The South Korean singer shared his statement on his Instagram account. "Despite my clear stance that I have not committed any illegal acts, I will take all legal action, civilly and criminally, against some reporters and media outlets who continue to write malicious articles. If there is evidence that I engaged in prostitution, please disclose it immediately," he said in Korean, and translated into English by Google. "Also, I have never left the team, and I have never agreed to the termination of my exclusive contract," he added. According to Ju Haknyeon, One Hundred is making it appear that there is a reason for his termination from the group. However, he said that "there is no reason for termination stated in the contract and some media outlets are defaming me by mentioning prostitution without any basis." He also alleged that One Hundred demanded from him compensation worth more than two billion won and told him to leave the agency. "[B]ut I have never accepted this. Despite this, the agency told the media that the termination of the contract was confirmed. This is clearly false," he said. "I would like to ask whether the agency's attitude of unilaterally expelling me from the team and urging me to terminate my contract by demanding compensation of over 2 billion won just because I was with a famous person in a private setting is really the attitude of the agency that should be protecting the artist." Per Ju Haknyeon, he did not accept the termination of his contract. After this, One Hundred "unilaterally sent me a certified mail stating that the contract was terminated due to my fault, ignoring the procedures stipulated in the contract, and even warned me about compensation." The South Korean singer also said that what happened is "really scary" and that he has been silently dealing with the issue "believing that the truth will come out." He added that he wants to hold One Hundred accountable for having "unfairly kicked me out of the team and insisted on terminating my contract without any basis." He also wants to hold accountable "the media outlets that mentioned prostitution with unconfirmed facts, and hurt me." "No matter what happens, I will go all the way to reveal the truth. I hope this fight can give someone a little hope, and I am courageous," he said. According to a report by Soompi on Friday, One Hundred released their official response to Ju Haknyeon's statement where they denied his claims. "We express deep regret over Ju Haknyeon's unilateral false claims. We initially decided to suspend Ju Haknyeon's activities after recognizing that the matter at hand could cause significant harm to the group's activities,: One Hundred said in the statement. The agency said that they reviewed the situation and informed Ju Haknyeon that the incident "constituted grounds for contract termination under Article 6, Clause 3 of his exclusive contract, which refers to 'conduct that damages the dignity of an artist to the extent that it interferes with entertainment activities.'" Per One Hundred, their termination of Ju Haknyeon's contract was "carried out in accordance with the contract's terms and was a fair and justified action." The agency also said that they will take legal action should Ju Haknyeon continue making "distorted claims." "[W]e will pursue all necessary legal action to protect our company and artists from harm, including submitting relevant evidence and documentation to the appropriate legal authorities. Following this statement, we will not issue further responses regarding Ju Haknyeon's false assertions," said One Hundred. "We would also like to assure you that The Boyz's activities will continue as scheduled without Ju Haknyeon, and we will do our utmost to protect the honor and rights of the remaining members," the agency added. On Wednesday, One Hundred announced Ju Haknyeon's departure from The Boyz and the termination of his exclusive contract, citing "issues involving Ju Haknyeon's private life." After prostitution allegations against him came to light, Ju Haknyeon uploaded a handwritten letter denying the allegations via Instagram Stories. While he admitted to attending a private gathering with alcohol with an acquaintance in the early morning of May 30, he firmly denied engaging in any illegal activity, such as prostitution. 'It is completely false that I engaged in any illegal activity, such as the prostitution that is being mentioned in news reports and rumors. I am deeply reflecting on my actions, and I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who was shocked by this [matter]," said Ju Haknyeon. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
