Police Drop Former THE BOYZ Member Ju Haknyeon's Prostitution Case Over Insufficient Evidence
After a turbulent two weeks following his shocking removal from his group THE BOYZ (더보이즈), K-pop idol Ju Haknyeon (주학년) finally has an answer to his prostitution charges. Earlier this week, reports revealed that the police will not move forward with the singer's case. According to reports dated 2nd July 2025 (Wednesday), the Seoul Gangnam Police Station has officially decided not to charge Ju Haknyeon with violating the Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts, etc. The singer faced investigations for allegedly soliciting prostitution following rumours that he had paid Japanese influencer Asuka Kirara (明日花キララ) for sex. The investigation followed a complaint made on 19th June 2025 (Thursday) from an unnamed individual. However, the police ultimately determined that the individual who filed the complaint had not provided sufficient concrete evidence to warrant an investigation against Ju Haknyeon. Authorities further noted that the complaint was based solely on internet articles. The accuser commented on this decision, saying, 'There have been several cases where agencies launched formal investigations based on media reports…It's a shame that the police dismissed this case because of insufficient evidence.' Following the news, Ju Haknyeon shared another update relating to his case. Through his Instagram Stories, the singer posted the complaint he filed against the TenAsia reporter who first published the prostitution allegations. The 26-year-old also captioned the post, calling out the reporter, 'An article of lies that tried to destroy my life. Just why did you do that? Let the court reveal the truth.' Fans and netizens have reacted to the news, supporting Ju Haknyeon's action against the reporter. However, some also brought up the singer's removal from his group and agency, One Hundred. Many criticised the agency's rash decision to kick Ju Haknyeon out of THE BOYZ and the company, given the lack of evidence of his prostitution accusations. Some also expressed suspicion towards One Hundred, suggesting the singer's removal was a cover-up. Asuka Kirara also recently spoke out on the issue, publicly denying the allegations. With this, fans are hoping that Ju Haknyeon will be able to clear his name. Meanwhile, THE BOYZ will embark on a world tour later this year, marking their return with nine members.

K-pop idol and former The Boyz member Ju Hak-nyeon found not guilty in prostitution case, vows legal action
SEOUL, July 2 — South Korean police have cleared Ju Hak-nyeon, former member of K-pop boy group The Boyz, of prostitution allegations following an investigation. According to Korea JoongAng Daily, the Gangnam Police Precinct confirmed today that Ju's case would not be referred to prosecutors due to a lack of evidence. Police said the individual who filed the complaint against Ju had only submitted online news articles as evidence, which they deemed insufficient to continue the investigation. Ju's exclusive contract with agency One Hundred Label was terminated last month after Japanese tabloid Shukan Bunshun reported that he had met privately with Japanese model and influencer Asuka Kirara, who has previously worked in the adult film industry. Other reports accused Ju of engaging in prostitution, leading to a complaint filed on June 19 requesting a formal police investigation. At the time, One Hundred Label cited 'breach of trust' as its reason for ending Ju's contract. Ju has repeatedly denied the allegations of prostitution and illegal activities. He has said he will file a civil suit against the reporter and media outlet that first published the allegations, as well as pursue legal action against his former agency and the individual who reported him to the police. Ju debuted with The Boyz in 2017 and officially left the group earlier this year.
