Police Launch Investigation into Ju Hak-nyeon’s Alleged Prostitution Case



A police investigation will begin into the alleged prostitution of Ju Hak-nyeon, who left the group THE BOYZ.

The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said on the 19th that it has allocated a case related to prostitution in the main grade to the 4th team of the Women's Youth Division and the Women's Office Investigation Team and launched an investigation.

Ju Hak-nyeon was at the center of controversy on the 18th due to the revelation of the Japanese Weekly Moonchun.




Ju Hak-nyeon visited a Roppongi private bar in Japan last month and had a drink with Asuka Kirara, an AV actor, and released a photo of the two's touch.

One Hundred, the agency, decided to withdraw Ju Hak-nyeon and terminate the exclusive contract, and even Chairman Cha Ga-won officially apologized to deal with the situation.

However, suspicions were raised that Ju Hak-nyeon had engaged in prostitution with Asuka Kirara.




Ju Hak-nyeon explained that "'It was true that I attended the drinking party, but there was never any prostitution or illegal activity mentioned in the article.'

However, a netizen filed a complaint with the National Newspaper asking for an investigation into Ju Hak-nyeon's alleged prostitution. It also asked to investigate whether former producers and entertainment industry officials of the agency were also involved.

In the midst of this, a cyberrek car was controversial for boasting that Ju Hak-nyeon had engaged in prostitution and claiming that he opposed the team's withdrawal. The cyberrekar found out that Ju Hak-nyeon told his acquaintances 'I had a relationship at Asuka Kirara's house while the agency was trying to figure out the situation. Ju Hak-nyeon also told the members about the night with Asuka. Members appear to be quite disappointed with the school year. The agency separated Ju Hak-nyeon and the members and immediately withdrew them from the team, but Ju Hak-nyeon protested and expressed his intention not to leave the team as it is."




However, the authenticity of the case was not accurately determined because the cyberrek car was the one who was sued for harassing the late Kim Sae-ron.

While Ju Hak-nyeon strongly denied the allegations, the case was transferred to the police. Attention is being paid to whether the truth will be revealed through a police investigation.
