Did BTS' SUGA get early release from military? All about last day of social work on June 18 ahead of discharge day
SUGA has finished his alternative service as of June 18. According to a report from Korean media outlet News1, the BTS member has effectively concluded his time as a social service worker a couple of days before what was previously revealed. With unexpected changes in BTS' SUGA's discharge schedule, fans have been curious to know if he will be back to his civilian status on the same day. However, the report has clarified that the singer's discharge date will continue to be June 21. How did SUGA complete military service early? It is being said that the rapper is all set to use his remaining vacation days from June 19 onwards, not to be required to go back to his workplace after June 18, essentially ending his time as an enlisted man in the ROK military's alternative service. These vacation days accrued over the time of his service are believed to be normal vacation days, without any special treatment being awarded to the star. As such, SUGA will not be required to visit his social service location after leaving work on June 18. The BTS member first enlisted on September 22, 2023, taking basic military training despite having enlisted under an alternative social service. As a result, he was required to serve for 21 months instead of the 18 months of duty that is expected from active soldiers, which was taken up by the rest of the group's members, including Jin, J-Hope, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook. With SUGA officially ending his service, all BTS members have served their time in the military and are now getting ready to make a full-group comeback soon. Recently, the entire team was spotted supporting fellow star J-Hope at his HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Goyang, where the Haegeum singer appeared with a mask on, but made sure to wave to his fans when the attention turned to them. It was previously reported that the South Korean boy group would be releasing new music in March 2026. However, their agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, has since responded, stating that the schedule has not been decided upon so far. It remains to be seen if the band will announce a world tour following their reunion.

Ju Haknyeon denies involvement with sex workers after THE BOYZ exit, apologises to fans in handwritten letter
Ju Haknyeon, a member of the K-pop group THE BOYZ, has broken his silence on the reports that claimed that he stepped down from the group and his agency, One Hundred Label, because of his involvement in a sex working scandal. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the star denied the reports and apologised to fans who have been 'greatly shocked by the news'. (Also read: Ju Haknyeon exits THE BOYZ after controversial 'meeting with Japanese porn star') Ju Haknyeon posted a handwritten letter on Instagram Stories, which read as follows: 'Hello. This is Ju Haknyeon. First, I apologise to the fans who must have been greatly shocked by the news about me, as well as everyone whom I gave cause for concern through this unsavoury matter.' He went on to add, 'In the wee hours of the morning of May 30, 2025, I did attend a private gathering with alcohol together with an acquaintance, and while it is true that I was at that gathering, it is completely false that I engaged in any illegal activity, such as the sex work that is being mentioned in news reports and rumors. I am deeply reflecting on my actions, and I would like to sincerely apologise to everyone who has been shocked and disappointed.' It all started when Korean media outlet News1, as cited by Koreaboo, stated that Ju Haknyeon was seen meeting former Japanese adult film actor Kirara Asuka at a bar in Roppongi, Tokyo, on May 29. A day ago, an official statement agency confirmed that Ju Haknyeon will be leaving both THE BOYZ and the agency. The statement said, 'Hello, this is One Hundred. We recently took action to suspend Ju Haknyeon's activities as soon as we were informed that he was involved in a controversial incident in order to take time to thoroughly investigate and verify the facts.' The Boyz will now be a 10-member group including Sangyeon (the leader), Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric.

Ex-THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon reported to police for prostitution after bar encounter with former adult star Kirara Asuka
Ju Haknyeon has faced a swift and dramatic fall from grace in recent days. Following public backlash over his meeting with former adult star Asuka Kirara in Tokyo, the idol was placed on hiatus and subsequently removed from his group, THE BOYZ. Now, the controversy has escalated further with a formal police complaint filed against him. In an official complaint submitted to Seoul's Gangnam Police Station on June 19, 2025, a netizen accused the celebrity of breaking Article 4 of the South Korean Act on the Punishment of Arranging Sexual Traffic, which forbids both participating in and aiding prostitutes. Controversial photos sparked speculation The accusations surfaced after pictures of Ju Haknyeon and Kirara Asuka, a former Japanese AV (adult video) star, were posted online. Online rumours that the idol might have engaged in illicit activities while in Japan were swiftly sparked by the pictures. Ju Haknyeon offers handwritten apology Amid the public backlash, Ju Haknyeon issued a handwritten letter on June 19 via his personal social media. He acknowledged being present at a late-night gathering on May 30, where former AV actress Kirara Asuka was also in attendance. However, he firmly denied any involvement in criminal activity. "It is true that I was at the gathering," he wrote, "but I did not engage in prostitution or commit any illegal acts, contrary to what has been speculated online." Police complaint against Ju Haknyeon The individual behind the complaint called on authorities to widen their investigation, arguing that Ju Haknyeon's case could be part of a larger pattern within the entertainment industry. Referring to media coverage, they highlighted claims that a producer associated with Ju had also been suspended amid similar suspicions. "This does not appear to be an isolated incident," the complainant noted, urging police to look into potential industry-level involvement in solicitation and broader complicity. Prostitution a serious offense in South Korea This complaint could be taken seriously as under South Korean law, prostitution is strictly prohibited and classified as a sexual offense. All eyes will on the investigation when launched and what that could mean for Ju Haknyeon's career as an Idol. This could also potentially expose many other K-pop artists in the industry.
