Ju Hak-nyeon did not engage in prostitution, and will be held responsible for terminating the contract under the pretext of 2 billion damages (Full Story)



Ju Hak-nyeon, a former member of the group THE BOYZ, declared legal action.

On the 20th, Ju Hak-nyeon wrote on his account that `I will take all civil and criminal legal action against some journalists and media companies who continue to write malicious articles even though I have already made a clear position that I have not committed any illegal acts. If there is any evidence of prostitution, please disclose it immediately."

Then "I have never withdrawn from the team and have never agreed to terminate the exclusive contract. The agency asked me to leave the company, demanding more than 2 billion won in compensation, but I never accepted it. Nevertheless, the agency informed the media that the termination of the contract was confirmed. This is a clear false fact..." he claimed.




I would like to ask again whether it is really the attitude of the agency that should protect artists to unilaterally oust me from the team and demand the termination of the contract, citing more than 2 billion won in damages, just because I was present with a famous person in a private settingWhen the agency refused to accept the termination of the contract, it ignored the procedures stipulated in the contract and unilaterally sent a proof of the termination of the contract as if it were my fault and even warned of damages.We want to hold the agency and some media accountable to the end."

Ju Hak-nyeon had a drinking party with Asuka Kirara, a former AV actor, in Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan on May 30. At that time, a photo of the two touching each other was released by the Japanese weekly Moonchun, and suspicions were raised that it was not just a private meeting but prostitution.

Accordingly, the agency Won Hundred decided to withdraw Ju Hak-nyeon and terminate the exclusive contract. THE BOYZ members also unfollowed Ju Hak-nyeon's account, expressing their intention to 'Give up' Ju Hak-nyeon explained that he did not engage in prostitution, but the Gangnam Police Station plans to receive a complaint and investigate the case.

Next is the full text of Ju Haknyeon's writing.

Hello, I'm Ju Haknyeon.

I will take all civil and criminal legal action against some journalists and media outlets who continue to write malicious articles, despite my clear position that I have not committed any illegal acts.




If you have any evidence of prostitution, please disclose it immediately.

Also, I've never left the team

I haven't even agreed to terminate the exclusive contract.

Although the agency has no reason to terminate the exclusive contract specified in the contract,

I'm trying to make it look like there's a reason to cancel it,

Some media outlets are undermining me by referring to prostitution without any basis.

My agency asked me to leave the company, asking for more than 2 billion won in compensation,

I have never accepted this.

Nevertheless, the agency informed the media that the termination of the contract was confirmed.

This is a clear falsehood.

Just because you're with someone famous in a private setting

unilaterally ousting me from the team,

It's important to call for the termination of the contract by paying more than 2 billion won in damages

I would like to ask again if this is the attitude of the agency that should really protect the artist.

When I refused to accept the termination of the contract, the agency said,

in defiance of the procedures stipulated in the contract

It's as if the contract was terminated due to my fault

I sent a proof-of-content mail unilaterally,

We are even warning of damages.

It's actually very scary.

But if I break it here,

In the end, people who don't have anything in this society

I thought it might become a place that could collapse even if I didn't do it.

Until now, I have endured it silently, believing that the truth will be revealed.

But in the face of an attempt to bury a man under the pretext of something he didn't do,

I felt that I couldn't be silent anymore.

You're unfairly kicking me out of the team,

The agency that claims to terminate the contract without any grounds,

And referring to prostitution as an unconfirmed fact

I want to hold some of the hurtful media accountable until the end.

Whatever happens, I'm going to go all the way to find out the truth.

I hope this fight can be a small hope for someone, and I take heart.
