The case of AV stars "selling flowers" to Kpop idols: The male lead escaped, the reason for the shock

The incident quickly attracted the attention of domestic and foreign media. Many international news sites have stepped in after spreading a series of images and information that the two have a relationship beyond friends.

In particular, the suspicion became even more serious when allegations related to sex purchases appeared.

Currently, Joo Hak Nyeon's side has not yet given an official response. The case continues to be a hot topic of discussion on forums and social networks.

On July 2, South Korean media simultaneously reported that the Gangnam Police Station officially came to a conclusion: Joo Hak Nyeon – a former member of THE BOYZ – was not prosecuted on suspicion of violating the Law on Prevention and Combat of Human Trafficking. According to police representatives, the allegations surrounding the case are mainly based on rumors circulating from social networks, without a clear legal basis as well as specific evidence to conduct further investigation.

Previously, on June 16, Joo Hak Nyeon's management company suddenly announced that the male idol would suspend operations for "personal reasons". Just two days later, the online community was abuzz when several newspapers revealed that Joo Hak Nyeon was caught with Asuka Kirara – a famous former actress in the Japanese film industry – at a discreet bar in Tokyo at the end of May. Many speculated that this private meeting was related to the act of paying for sex, causing the male singer's image to be seriously affected.

Under public pressure, the management company then announced that Joo Hak Nyeon officially left the group and terminated the exclusive contract. Not shying away, the male singer also wrote a handwritten letter to fans, in which he denied all allegations and affirmed that he did not violate the law. He wrote:

"I only attended a party of friends at dawn on May 30, 2025. It is true that I was there, but there was no prostitution or doing anything wrong as some of the articles reported."

Not stopping at vindication, Joo Hak Nyeon also affirmed that he would take strong legal action to protect his honor. He said:

"I can't be silent and let myself forever be labeled as a criminal. I will sue the reporter for reporting false news, and at the same time carry out civil procedures against the relevant press agencies. I will also sue the person who made the false accusation, leading to a wave of misunderstandings spread online."

Asuka Kirara, who is believed to be involved in the incident, was also quick to deny it:

"I've never been paid to do that in my life, and this time is no exception."

Although the police have declared that they have not been prosecuted, the scandal still leaves a big resonance in public opinion. On online forums, netizens continue to argue fiercely with many conflicting views: one side expressed sympathy, saying that the male idol was harmed by unfounded rumors; Meanwhile, others still keep a reserved attitude and wait for more moves from the singer's side.

The incident not only seriously affected Joo Hak Nyeon's personal image, but also raised questions about the negative impact of unverified viral rumors in the harsh Korean entertainment environment.

Although officially vindicated, the male singer's path back to the spotlight still has many challenges ahead.

Despite being confirmed by the police that he did not violate the law and declared his innocence, Joo Hak Nyeon's case still left many unfortunate consequences. From a young, promising idol, he was forced to leave the group, terminate his contract with the management company, and face a wave of harsh public opinion just because of unfounded rumors.

Currently, the male singer has not revealed any plans to reappear. However, the resolute action to sue to protect personal honor partly shows his seriousness and determination in clarifying black and white, regaining his image in front of fans and the public.
