According to Haknyeon, he never agreed to the contract termination and was unfairly removed from THE BOYZ.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy began when online rumors claimed Ju Haknyeon was spotted with<strong> Asuka Kirara<\/strong> in Yokohama following an award ceremony. Initially, the idol was accused of engaging in prostitution, a claim he denied through a handwritten letter. Days after, ONE HUNDRED posted a statement saying Haknyeon\u2019s contract had ended upon mutual decision.\u00a0Yet, on June 20, he came forward with a long, emotional post on social media, calling the agency\u2019s claims \u201cone-sided\u201d and stating that he had refused their demand for over 200 million KRW (around 145,000 USD). Then, he insisted that he never agreed to leave THE BOYZ.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/luvchaiteaiced\/status\/1935918607135129842\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JU HAKNYEON TAKING LEGAL ACTION LIKE I SAID! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JUHAKNYEON?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#JUHAKNYEON<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/THEBOYZ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#THEBOYZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Hakpj9KxUu\">pic.twitter.com\/Hakpj9KxUu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud83e\uddda\ud83c\udffd\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9e\ud83e\uddda\ud83c\udffd\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9e\ud83e\uddda\ud83c\udffd\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9e (@luvchaiteaiced) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/luvchaiteaiced\/status\/1935918607135129842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Haknyeon also firmly denied any involvement in prostitution, challenging media outlets to present concrete evidence. \u201c<strong>I have not committed any illegal act<\/strong>,\u201d he stated, adding that he felt \u201cscared and exhausted\u201d but refused to stay silent.
