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.
