Never left THE BOYZ? Ju Haknyeon's shocking Insta post slams prostitution rumours after meeting AV star Kirara Asuka
The K-pop world was rocked after Ju Haknyeon was removed from his group, THE BOYZ, following viral rumours that he was seen in Japan with former Japanese adult film actress Kirara Asuka. The controversy quickly spiraled, leaving fans blindsided. One Hundred Label revealed that they had been contacted by Japanese outlet Shūkan Bunshun and subsequently verified the situation directly with the idol. Following this, the agency released an official statement announcing his departure from both THE BOYZ and the label. In response, the idol shared a handwritten apology letter on Instagram, announcing his farewell. Ju Haknyeon claims he never left the group However, a new chapter in the unfolding drama erupted as speculation continued to spread online. Ju Haknyeon returned with a bold, emotional Instagram post, directly calling out the agency and media for their handling of the situation. His words hinted at deeper tensions behind the scenes, leaving fans divided and demanding clarity. Ju Haknyeon's Instagram post "Hello, this is Ju Haknyeon. Despite my clear position that I have not committed any illegal act, I will take legal action, civil and criminal, against reporters and media outlets who continue to write malicious articles. If there is evidence of prostitution, please disclose it to me immediately. Also, I have never left the team and have never agreed to the termination of my exclusive contract. The agency is making it seem like there is a reason for termination of the contract, even though there is no reason for termination, and some media outlets are defaming me by mentioning prostitution without any basis. The agency demanded compensation of over ₩200 million KRW (about $145,000 USD) and told me to leave the company, but I have never accepted it. Regardless, they announced to the press that the termination was confirmed. I want to ask whether the agency's attitude of trying to unilaterally remove me from the group and urge me to terminate my contract by demanding over ₩200 million KRW (about $145,000 USD) just because I was with a famous person in a private setting is the attitude of an agency that should be protecting the artist. When I refused to accept the termination of my contract, they sent me a certified mail stating that the contract was terminated due to my fault, ignoring the procedures stipulated in the contract, and warned me about compensation for damages. Honestly, I am really scared. But if I give up here, this society might become a place where people who have nothing can fall for things they didn't do. I have silently endured this so far, believing the truth will come out. However, when someone attempts to bury people under the pretext of something that didn't happen, I can no longer remain silent. I want to hold accountable the agency that unfairly kicked me out and insisted on terminating my contract without any basis, and the media outlets that mentioned prostitution without confirmation. Regardless, I will go all the way to reveal the truth. I am taking the courage, hoping this fight can give someone a little hope." Prostitution illegal in South Korea Prostitution is illegal and largely frowned upon in South Korea's conservative, Confucian-influenced society. The 2004 Act on the Prevention of Commercial Sex Acts and Protection of Victims strictly prohibits all forms of sex work. However, despite ongoing enforcement efforts, the underground sex industry continues to exist, with authorities frequently conducting raids and imposing penalties on those involved.

IVE's Jang Wonyoung defamation case: Sojang fights back, appeals 50 million KRW penalty order
The heated legal fight between Starship Entertainment and the controversial YouTube channel Sojang has taken a new turn. While Starship secured a major win in court earlier this month, the legal clash is far from over. The channel operator has officially filed an appeal. According to legal insiders, on June 18, the operator behind Sojang submitted an appeal. The aim is to contest the ruling handed down by the Seoul Central District Court just weeks prior. This move has reignited public attention on the case, which has made headlines due to its ties to some of the biggest names in K-pop. Starship's win in civil court Back on June 4, the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court, presided by Judge Choi Mi Young, issued a ruling. The court ruled in favor of Starship Entertainment in their civil lawsuit against Sojang. The court concluded that the YouTuber had damaged the reputation of Starship and its artists by repeatedly spreading false and defamatory content. The court ordered Sojang's operator to pay 50 million KRW (approx. 36,500 USD) in damages to Starship. The agency had initially sought 100 million KRW in compensation, but the court settled on a partial ruling. It's still a clear legal victory for the company. Who is Sojang, and what did they post? The operator behind Sojang became infamous across the K-pop fandom space for posting cyberbullying-style content. These videos aggressively targeted celebrities with unverified rumors, manipulated stories, and malicious speculation. From October 2021 to June 2023, the channel built a large viewership. It did so by consistently posting videos aimed at idols like Jang Wonyoung (IVE), BTS, EXO, aespa, and Kang Daniel. The backlash against Sojang grew rapidly as fans and agencies began pushing for accountability. Reports later revealed that the YouTuber had allegedly earned 250 million KRW (approx. 80,000 USD) through monetization during the peak of the channel's activity. During this time, they continued to harm reputations with each upload. Multiple legal fronts: Civil and criminal The civil lawsuit wasn't the only legal action taken. Starship and Jang Wonyoung personally pursued criminal charges against Sojang's operator as well. The court, after reviewing evidence and patterns of behavior, sentenced the individual to two years in prison. However, the sentence was suspended for three years. This is a form of probation that allows the defendant to avoid jail unless further offenses occur. However, even that ruling has been challenged. Prosecutors have filed an appeal, expressing dissatisfaction with the suspended sentence. They believe it does not reflect the seriousness of the case. In a separate damages lawsuit, Jang Wonyoung also won a partial victory. The court ordered Sojang to pay the IVE member 50 million KRW in damages. It further solidified that the content in question was not only harmful but legally punishable. Other idols join the fight Sojang is not only facing legal pressure from Starship and Jang Wonyoung. Additional lawsuits are ongoing from top-tier artists and agencies. They include BTS (BigHit Music), EXO (SM Entertainment), aespa, and soloist Kang Daniel. In several of those cases, the court has already sided with the idols. The court acknowledged that the channel's videos had a huge impact on the mental health, image, and careers of the stars involved.
