Japanese adult film star Asuka Kirara has finally spoken out about the prostitution allegations involving former THE BOYZ member JU HAKNYEON.
She firmly denied any sexual relationship, stating, "I have never once reached out to touch JU HAKNYEON, let alone hugged him."
On the 1st, Asuka Kirara addressed the situation during a live broadcast on her social media, "I was celebrating a male friend's birthday for the first time in two years with him and some acquaintances, including designers and many others. There were Koreans there too, and I had no idea JU HAKNYEON would be attending."
She continued, "It's true that JU HAKNYEON is a fan of mine, but the reports in the Japanese media claiming we had a physical relationship for three days are completely false. We met for the first time that day, and there was absolutely nothing physical between us. I really don't understand how this led to removal from his team. There was truly nothing going on," she emphasized again.
Previously, Asuka Kirara also denied the allegations on social media, stating, "I have never accepted money for sexual relations in my life, and this time is no different."
Earlier, on the 2nd, the police concluded their investigation into JU HAKNYEON's alleged violation of the Anti-Prostitution Law with a decision of 'no suspicion'. The investigative authorities determined there was insufficient evidence or circumstances to consider it prostitution.
On June 18th, his agency, One Hundred, announced, "It's difficult to continue trust in him as an artist," formalizing JU HAKNYEON's departure from the team and termination of his exclusive contract.
