Ju Haknyeon has been kicked out of THE BOYZ and dropped by One Hundred Label following revelations he met with a former Japanese pornstar in Tokyo.
One Hundred Label confirmed Ju Haknyeon’s contract termination and exit from THE BOYZ.
Hello, this is One Hundred.
We recently took action to suspend Ju Haknyeon’s activities as soon as we were informed that he was involved in a controversial incident in order to take time to thoroughly investigate and verify the facts.
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.
We kindly ask for your understanding that this decision was an inevitable decision made to protect the members of THE BOYZ and the group as a whole. We are informing you that as of today, Ju Haknyeon will no longer be part of THE BOYZ and will cease all activities with the group.
One Hundred Label will spare no effort in fully supporting the remaining members of THE BOYZ so that they can continue to promote in a healthy and stable state.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for causing concern to the fans and we will do our best to repay the fans with better news and promotions in the future.
Thank you
— One Hundred Label
