Former Japanese AV actress and SNS influencer Asuka Kirara has spoken up to reveal her side of the story regarding her recent involvement with former The Boyz member Ju Hak Nyeon.
On July 3 JST, Asuka Kirara addressed the recent controversy via a TikTok Live. During the live, Asuka Kirara claimed that she had met Ju Hak Nyeon for the first time that night, and that there was never any physical intimacy between her and the former K-Pop idol.
The Japanese star then also shared her perspective on Ju Hak Nyeon's removal from The Boyz, commenting, "How did it go so far as getting fired? That's the part I really don't understand. Can I just say what I honestly think? I feel like they wanted to kick him out from the start... I think they were trying to cover something else up."
Online netizens have compiled a rough translation of Asuka Kirara's statement below.
Meanwhile, earlier on July 2 KST, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station dismissed Ju Hak Nyeon's illegal prostitution solicitation case due to "insufficient grounds."
Immediately afterward, Ju Hak Nyeon revealed through an Instagram Story post that he has submitted a 1 billion KRW (~ 740,000 USD) lawsuit against news reporter Choi Ji Hye of Tenasia for initially accusing him of soliciting prostitution. He wrote, "A news article full of lives meant to ruin someone's life. And for what? Tell me the truth in court."
