'Lies meant to ruin my life': Ex-THE BOYZ's Ju Haknyeon hits back after scandal with former adult star Asuka Kirara collapses
Police drop case citing lack of evidence
On July 2, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station officially stated that they would not be pursuing an investigation in this matter. Authorities cited a lack of sufficient evidence, noting that the accusations originated solely from an online article. In fact, the article had only sparked discussion without any specific circumstances or substantiated details to warrant legal action.
Ju Haknyeon responds with legal action
In the wake of the police announcement, Haknyeon took to Instagram with a direct message. He shared the report about his legal action against the original journalist and captioned it, "An article of lies that aims to ruin my life. Just why did you do that? Let the court reveal the truth."
Agency under fire for premature decision
While all this drama took place, his agency One Hundred Label still removed him from THE BOYZ and had his contract terminated. At the time, the agency cited the "gravity of the situation" and said it was reviewing available evidence - a decision now drawing criticism as premature, following the police decision to close the case.
Fans rally behind Haknyeon
Many, especially on X (formerly known as Twitter) were relieved to see Haknyeon's name cleared. However, they also expressed outrage at how the agency handled the situation.
On social media, posts criticizing One Hundred Label have gone viral, accusing the company of failing to conduct a proper internal review before cutting ties with him.
