Asuka Kirara opens up about involvement with former The Boyz member Ju Hak Nyeon

Japanese AV actress and influencer Asuka Kirara has spoken up to reveal her own position on the ongoing scandal involving her and former The Boyz member Ju Hak Nyeon.

On June 21 KST, Asuka Kirara wrote on X:

"There are baseless speculations running rampant, but the Shūkan Bunshun has yet to release any reports on this matter.

So please do not spread false information.

I have never once accepted money for private sexual services in my life. That goes without saying for this recent issue as well.

It is my belief that a woman I met for the first time that day seemed to have a crush on Hak Nyeon, and so she took a photo and sold it to Shūkan Bunshu."

Meanwhile, earlier on June 18 KST, one exclusive media outlet reported that Ju Hak Nyeon was spotted at a private bar in Tokyo, Japan with Asuka Kirara last month on May 29. Sources claimed that Ju Hak Nyeon and Asuka Kirara spent time together at the bar until the early hours of the morning while hugging and being intimate. 

On the same day, The Boyz's label One Hundred abruptly announced Ju Hak Nyeon's departure from both his team and from the label. Soon afterward, some media outlets claimed that Ju Hak Nyeon had solicited prostitution during the above private gathering in Tokyo, shocking K-Pop fans. 

Ju Hak Nyeon has since denied his involvement in any illegal activity including the solicitation of prostitution.
