Ju Haknyeon is facing backlash after Dispatch revealed he bragged about sleeping with former Japanese AV actress Asuka Kirara at her home.
Dispatch’s exclusive report details the night of May 29-30, 2025: Ju Haknyeon, two Japanese men, Asuka Kirara, and three other women moved from a pub to karaoke, then a private room bar. At 6 a.m., Ju Haknyeon took a taxi to Asuka’s house and returned to THE BOYZ dorm later that morning.
Reports say they showed public skinship like hugging before leaving. One Hundred Label confirmed Ju Haknyeon’s actions and decided to terminate his contract due to damage to the group’s image — citing drinking with an AV actress, public affection, and leaving the dorm without notice.
Ju Haknyeon stated during the meeting with One Hundred Label:
I didn’t pay for it. The [other men] paid for it.
I don’t want the [THE BOYZ] members to be hurt [from my actions] anymore.
One Hundred Label worried about photo leaks and potential legal issues related to prostitution claims.
A staff member from THE BOYZ added:
Ju Haknyeon bragged that he slept with Asuka Kirara.
He didn’t come back to the hotel that night. I asked him where he went and he said he was at Asuka Kirara’s house. He bragged about sleeping with her.
THE BOYZ’s official stated Ju Haknyeon initially chose to leave but then claimed unfairness and denied actually sleeping with Kirara, saying he lied to “look cool.”
Asuka Kirara denied the rumors in a social media post:
Besides my professional [AV] work, I have never engaged in prostitution. No matter how much money has been offered, I have never accepted money in exchange for sex in my personal life.
Of course, that means this time as well, I swear that I did not engage in such acts. You may not believe me, but this is the truth. I have no idea how such a rumors started to spread.
Dispatch tried to get more comments from Asuka Kirara but received no further response.
The controversy is gaining traction as One Hundred Label moves forward with Ju Haknyeon’s contract termination.
