Ju Hak-nyeon, formerly of The Boyz, cleared of charges over alleged prostitution activities
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox South Korean singer Ju Hak-nyeon, formerly of K-pop boy band The Boyz, will not face charges after he was accused of being involved in prostitution activities. The 26-year-old was embroiled in a controversy in June when the South Korean media reported that his then agency, One Hundred Label, had received an enquiry from Japanese tabloid Shukan Bunshun about his personal meeting with Kirara Asuka, a Japanese adult film actress-turned-influencer, in Tokyo in late May. A South Korean media outlet then claimed that he had allegedly paid for sex with the 36-year-old woman. The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul then received a complaint from a netizen requesting an investigation into Ju. On July 2, South Korean media outlet Sports Kyunghyang reported that the police had decided on June 25 not to prosecute Ju, as the complaint was based on an internet article and that there were insufficient specific reasons or circumstances to initiate an investigation. Ju had admitted on June 19 in a letter of apology on Instagram Stories to meeting Asuka, but denied rumours of being involved in prostitution activities. The apology came after he was booted from The Boyz on June 18. He wrote another post on Instagram on June 20, threatening to take legal action against media outlets which continued to spread false information about him. He also said that he was removed from The Boyz with no valid reasons and that his contract termination was done unilaterally by One Hundred Label. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

One Hundred Label warned that it would take legal action against Ju if he continued to repeat the distorted claims. Asuka broke her silence on social media platform X on June 21, saying that she had never accepted money for private sexual services, including during the encounter with Ju. The singer then took to social media on June 22, denying the prostitution allegation again and detailing the sequence of events leading to his sacking from The Boyz. South Korean newspaper The Korea Herald said that a court ruling is expected to determine whether the contract termination is lawful.

India quietly lifts social media ban on select Pakistani celebrity accounts to the dismay of some
July 3, 2025 ISLAMABAD – It appears that India is gradually lifting its digital restrictions on Pakistani celebrities and entertainment content, with users across the country reporting renewed access to previously blocked Instagram profiles and YouTube channels. On Tuesday, several Indian users noticed they could once again view the Instagram accounts of Pakistani stars such as Yumna Zaidi, Dananeer Mobeen, Ahad Raza Mir, Azaan Sami Khan, Mawra Hocane, Ameer Gilani, and Danish Taimoor — all of which were previously restricted following the rise in tensions between the two neighbours following the Pahalgam attack in May, for which India blamed Pakistan, an accusation Pakistan has repeatedly denied. Indian X user Sonam Mahajan drew attention to the change, posting: 'BREAKING: Instagram accounts of Pakistani artists Yumna Zaidi, Dananeer Mobeen, Ahad Raza Mir, Azaan Sami, Mawra Hocane, Ameer Gilani and Danish Taimoor, which were restricted in India in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, are now accessible again.' She added that official YouTube channels for Pakistani broadcasters HUM TV, Har Pal Geo, and ARY Digital had also been unblocked. Indian publication Filmfare later confirmed that these profiles and platforms were indeed accessible in the country without VPNs. However, some Pakistani celebrity accounts, including that of actor Hania Aamir — who is currently starring alongside Diljit Dosanjh in Sardaar Ji 3 and enjoyed considerable support in India prior to Pahalgam — remain unaccessible. Other major names such as Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Atif Aslam continue to remain inaccessible on Indian platforms, according to the outlet. No official explanation has been issued by Indian authorities about the partial rollback. The move has sparked criticism in India's online spaces, particularly from those who support the ongoing digital blockout of Pakistani content. 'It's shameful that you have done this,' one user wrote while tagging India's Ministry of Electronics and IT. Another questioned the apparent inconsistency: 'We banned them for nationalism. Now unbanned them for… nautanki (drama)?' Many failed to understand the rationale behind the move, calling on the Indian government for an explanation. One user sarcastically referenced the restrictions on Sardaar Ji 3, which is not releasing in India, writing: 'Diljit be like — 'When this is what you had to do, then why didn't you let my film release in India?'' The film has become a flashpoint after India blamed Pakistan for the deadly Pahalgam attack — allegations Pakistan has strongly denied. What followed was a sharp military escalation, including overnight Indian airstrikes on Pakistani territory. According to the ISPR, the strikes hit six sites, killing 31 civilians and injuring 57, including women and children. Pakistani celebrities, including Aamir, issued statements condemning the attacks. The actor's Instagram story, calling the strikes 'cowardly' and 'shameful,' sparked backlash across the border and calls for a boycott of the film. As part of the fallout, several Pakistani social media accounts and entertainment platforms were blocked in India. That makes the recent quiet reversal all the more surprising. However, not all reactions were critical. Some Indian fans welcomed the move and called for a broader cultural unblocking. 'Then what is the problem in releasing the Sardaar Ji 3 movie?' one user asked. Others voiced support for restoring access to Pakistani music on Indian platforms. Pakistani songs were removed from Indian libraries on Spotify following a directive from the Indian government. 'What wrong did Atif Aslam do? Please unblock his account,' read one post. 'I just want Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali, Noor Jehan and Kavish back,' another wrote. It's unclear what the Indian government's strategy is here and whether this signals a softening in its policy on cross-border collaborations and cultural exchanges. Either way, the digital border appears to be shifting once again — albeit quietly.
