'Lies meant to ruin my life': Ex-THE BOYZ's Ju Haknyeon hits back after scandal with former adult star Asuka Kirara collapses
Former member of THE BOYZ Ju Haknyeon has spoken up in the wake of a significant development in the incident that caused him to leave the group. Rumours that stated that the idol had met Asuka Kirara, a former Japanese adult film actress, at a private bar which sparked a whole debate online, which swiftly turned into accusations of prostitution. From the start, Haknyeon refuted the allegations, but actions were taken and he was removed from the group. Police drop case citing lack of evidence On July 2, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station officially stated that they would not be pursuing an investigation in this matter. Authorities cited a lack of sufficient evidence, noting that the accusations originated solely from an online article. In fact, the article had only sparked discussion without any specific circumstances or substantiated details to warrant legal action. Ju Haknyeon responds with legal action In the wake of the police announcement, Haknyeon took to Instagram with a direct message. He shared the report about his legal action against the original journalist and captioned it, "An article of lies that aims to ruin my life. Just why did you do that? Let the court reveal the truth." Agency under fire for premature decision While all this drama took place, his agency One Hundred Label still removed him from THE BOYZ and had his contract terminated. At the time, the agency cited the "gravity of the situation" and said it was reviewing available evidence - a decision now drawing criticism as premature, following the police decision to close the case. Fans rally behind Haknyeon Many, especially on X (formerly known as Twitter) were relieved to see Haknyeon's name cleared. However, they also expressed outrage at how the agency handled the situation. On social media, posts criticizing One Hundred Label have gone viral, accusing the company of failing to conduct a proper internal review before cutting ties with him. it's so stupid and careless as fck for 100 to kick hak out without doing a fact-check that could've been SO EASY bcs hak came to them to clear everything. i hope you rot in the hell, 100. lord, please take away haknyeon and kirara's sufferings , triple it and give it to 100red label and those media outlets who ruined their reputation MEDIA AND ONE HUNDRED APOLOGIES TO HAKNYEON AND BRING HAKNYEON BACK @100RED_official haknyeon suing the journalist of tenasia for writing a false article about him. if he wins this case, the journalist must pay him 1 billion krw plus interest and lawsuit costs as compensation for ruining his reputation. i'll support him for fighting his innocence ! It remains to be seen whether One Hundred Label will take accountability, especially as Ju Haknyeon receives a wave of support from fans. Many have rallied behind the K-pop idol, calling for responsibility from those who acted on unverified claims.

Why A 'Manga-Predicted' Earthquake On July 5 Has The Internet Buzzing?
Rumours are circulating online about a massive tsunami hitting Japan on July 5, 2025, based on a 2021 manga called "The Future I Saw" by Ryo Tatsuki, who is also known as the "New Baba Vanga." The manga's prediction, stemming from a dream, describes a catastrophic disaster occurring on that date, sparking widespread panic on social media. According to the prediction, a crack will emerge under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, triggering a tsunami three times larger than the one in 2011. The prediction has gone viral, with thousands of videos circulating across social media platforms, especially in East Asia (Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea). Posts on X have amplified the panic, with several users linking it to fears of a Nankai Trough megaquake. A swarm of over 330 earthquakes near Japan's Tokara Islands and a volcanic eruption on Mount Shinmoe in Kyushu have also reignited fears, as they coincide with the manga's predicted timeline. Though seismologists dismiss any link, the timing has amplified public concern. A recent survey conducted by Sky Perfect JSAT in June found that 49.4% of Japanese respondents had heard about the prophecy regarding a major earthquake, while 50.6% were unaware. The survey polled 1,000 individuals nationwide, aged 15 to 69. The results showed that women in their teens (61.4%) and fifties (57.8%) were most likely to have heard the rumours. Among men, those in their teens (54.2%) and twenties (51.8%) were more aware of the prophecy, Nippon reported. Despite the lack of scientific evidence supporting the claim, several tourists from East Asia have cancelled or are reconsidering their trips to Japan. Notably, the manga gained notoriety after it seemingly predicted the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. Now, its prophecy of another earthquake has led to increased anxiety among travellers. The Financial Impact of the Earthquake Rumour The manga's author, Ryo Tatsuki, has urged people not to take her predictions too seriously and to rely on expert opinions instead. In a recent interview, she encouraged readers to remain calm and not be overly influenced by her forecasts, opting to trust the views of experts instead. Despite this, the prediction has already started affecting Japan's economy, with airlines like Greater Bay Airlines reducing flights and bookings dropping by 30%. The prophecy has led to a significant drop in travel bookings to the country, particularly from Hong Kong, China, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Tottori region in southwest Japan has been particularly affected, with a nearly 50% drop in bookings from Hong Kong in May. As a result, Japan's tourism industry could face significant losses due to the rumours, with potential losses estimated at ¥560 billion ($3.9 billion), according to Takahide Kiuchi, an executive economist at Nomura Research Institute. What Are Experts And the Japanese Government Saying? However, experts are urging calm, stating that predicting earthquakes with certainty is currently beyond scientific capabilities. Professor Naoya Sekiya from the University of Tokyo emphasised the importance of preparedness for disasters at any time, rather than focusing on unsubstantiated predictions. Miyagi Prefecture Governor Yoshihiro Murai also expressed concern over the impact of these rumours on tourism, highlighting the need for verified information. In a press conference, Mr Murai said, "I believe it is a serious issue when the spread of highly unscientific rumours on social media affects tourism." The spread of misinformation online is what Governor Murai said is the root of the problem. The Japan Meteorological Agency posted online: "Any such predictions should be considered unreliable."
