The announcement isn’t being well-received by fans.
Koreaboo
Ju Haknyeon has been kicked out of THE BOYZ, and the group’s agency, One Hundred Label, has terminated his contract following the news of his meeting with a former Japanese pornstar.
In a statement, One Hundred Label said, “it has become difficult to maintain our trust in him as an artist. ” The decision to remove him came after THE BOYZ discussed the matter.
As a result of our investigation, we have recognized the severity of the issue and have taken it seriously. We have realized that it has become difficult to maintain our trust in him as an artist. Due to this, after sufficient discussions with the members of THE BOYZ, we have decided that Ju Haknyeon will be withdrawing from the group and that his exclusive contract will be terminated.
— One Hundred Label
In response, some fans are now voicing their anger online and criticizing the agency for kicking the idol out rather than standing by him. Some of these fans have also mentioned preexisting issues with One Hundred Label, such as Ju Haknyeon having “no lines, no screentime, no solo projects, no endorsements.”
this makes me so mad. haknyeon has always gotten the short end of the stick. no lines, no screentime, no solo projects, no endorsements. onehundred is a fuckass company that never did anything for him. now they can’t even protect him when he needed them most. https://t.co/mL8ITvmEuY

In my opinion, I feel that the company lacked more commitment to keeping Haknyeon in the group. So what if his girlfriend has that history, currently she no longer works with that and chose Haknyeon as her partner…I also know that there are a lot of malicious people but gosh 😭

They’re 11. you cant kick him out and erase him. Ju Haknyeon will forever be the backbone of the boyz. the hate during and way after produce 101 not just from people but his own fucking company. no screentime, no lines, was always hidden in the back when he had so much talent- pic.twitter.com/BNwJ3lXTZ5

Honestly i feel like 100 forced the members into this outcome, never in a million years would I believe the members agreeing to this conclusion instead of fighting for haknyeon. Fuck this company

Some fans also believe that Ju Haknyeon’s private dating life should not determine whether or not he can stay in THE BOYZ. Others say that the blame lies with stalkers, One Hundred Label, and the K-Pop industry as a whole.
after everything the boyz has been throuh with this new company, kicking haknyeon out for meeting up with someone is insanity. he is a GROWN ASS MAN, let him enjoy his life 😒
