Amid former THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon suing the TenAsia reporter who accused him of having paid for sex with the Japanese pornstar Asuka Kirara and the pornstar tweeting that she didn’t sleep with the K-Pop idol…
…Japan’s Shūkan Bunshun revealed photos that were mentioned as “evidence” of the scandal. While the alleged photos show a man unrecognizable in a hat and a mask, K-Pop fans are convinced that it is Ju Haknyeon, given that he did admit to having met her.

Reactions to the newly-revealed photos are, as expected, intense.
Earlier, Ju Haknyeon attempted to stand up for himself against the agency, One Hundred Label, calling them out on unrightfully terminating his exclusive contract with them and kicking him out of the boy group without a valid reason. One Hundred Label refuted the former member’s claims, stating his interaction with the pornstar is “acts that damage the dignity of the artist to the extent that cause interference with activities.”
First, we felt that Ju Haknyeon’s incident would greatly damage the team’s promotions, so we suspended his activities. After looking into the situation in detail, we decided to fully inform Ju Haknyeon of the grounds for contract termination per Article 6, Section 3 of the exclusive contract, which states, ‘Acts that damage the dignity of the artist to the extent that cause interference with activities.’
— One Hundred Label
Most K-Pop fans deemed the photos (and the level of intimacy captured in the photos) to be more than enough reason for the termination of his contract.
- “Wow… I feel terrible for his fans. I do wonder how he was recognized, though. He’s all covered up. I know what he looks like and I still can’t quite tell.”
- “I think One Hundred Label made the right decision.”
- “I bet he’s going to say that isn’t him. LOL. I mean, the guy in the picture is all covered up.”
- “He was in Japan for an award show. And then he decided to pull something like this. The scandal was about to break the team. Of course he has to be removed from the group. Did he even consider for a second what he was doing to his teammates?”
- “Nasty.”
- “Yikes. Isn’t he scared of STDs? Seeing from the photos, it looks like he’s dating her.”
- “He said he was ‘just there.’ Yeah, right. LMAO.”
- “Haha.”
- “Oh no…”
- “Doesn’t look like he was ‘just there’ to me. Who does he think he’s fooling? LOL.”
- “I mean, he did say he didn’t do anything illegal. Maybe he and the pornstar are in love with each other and it’s all consented. LMAO.”
- “Ha…”
- “I think it was right to remove him from the group for sure.”
- “Yeah, these photos are more than enough reason to remove him.”
- “He called it a ‘gathering,’ so I thought it was like a little get-together. I cannot believe an active idol would think to do this with a pornstar. Of course, he deserved to be removed from the group.”
- “So what, he fell in love with a pornstar? That’s what happened? LMAO.”
- “Ew… He should have just been removed and leave it at that. Then the photos might not have been revealed.”
- “Ugh.”
- “Are they hugging in public? They look super intimate to me. No personal space between them.”
- “Wow.”
- “Sigh. I don’t want to see these photos. Like, please. Just… can they please handle this privately?”
- “What icks me even more is the fact that in the photos, it looks like he’s more into her than she’s into him.”
Meanwhile, Dispatch has since revealed that Ju Haknyeon “bragged about sleeping with Asuka Kirara at her house.”
