From the fans’ perspective, there could be reactions like ‘Why an AV actress?’” – Aoi Sola
The comments struck a nerve online. Many netizens disagreed fiercely, throwing shade at AV actresses and defending Korean cultural views.
“They really think they are actresses because they are called AV actors.”
“These Korean men are the problem, bringing things like this up to the surface, not knowing how shameful it is.”
“But you sell your body for money?”
“But she’s the representative prostitute…”
“Then what are you?”
The controversy centers on Ju Haknyeon’s removal from THE BOYZ over photos with Asuka Kirara. Ju Haknyeon claims agency ONE HUNDRED forced his withdrawal and penalty. The agency insists this was standard contract procedure.
Fans and observers continue to monitor the fallout as both sides stick to their stances.
