Asuka Kirara, a former Japanese adult film actress and current influencer, has publicly denied allegations of prostitution involving former The Boyz member Ju Haknyeon.
Early Saturday morning, Kirara posted a statement on her personal channel, pushing back against the swirling rumors: “There are all kinds of speculations spreading. Please stop spreading false information.”
She firmly denied any involvement in prostitution, writing, “I have never once, in my entire life, had sex in exchange for money. That includes this time.” She added, “A photo of me with Haknyeon, who was at the same gathering, was sold to Bunshun.”
The controversy began on June 18, when reports emerged that Ju Haknyeon had privately met Kirara at a bar in Tokyo on May 29. The two were reportedly seen drinking into the early morning hours, with physical contact such as hugging captured on camera.
That same day, Ju Haknyeon’s former agency Onehundred announced his departure from The Boyz and the termination of his exclusive contract, citing the personal scandal. The situation escalated when follow-up reports claimed the meeting had involved prostitution, sparking significant backlash.
Ju Haknyeon has twice denied the prostitution allegations and has insisted that he was forcibly removed from the group against his will.
Kirara concluded her post by stating that another woman at the gathering appeared to have a personal interest in him, and that this led to the photo being taken and sold to the media.
