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'.

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.

Aamir Khan made his much-anticipated red carpet debut with girlfriend Gauri Spratt at the grand premiere of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par in Mumbai. The actor was joined by his youngest son, Azad Rao Khan, from his previous marriage with Kiran Rao. The trio posed together for the paparazzi, marking Aamir and Gauri's first official public appearance as a couple. Dressed in an elegant ivory sherwani with intricate embroidery, churidar pants and brown lace-up boots, Aamir Khan cut a classic yet contemporary figure. He accessorised his ensemble with a quirky fish-shaped potli bag, adding a unique touch to his traditional look. Gauri, on the other hand, looked graceful in a soft sage-green silk saree with golden motifs. She paired it with a deep green blouse and a delicate gold necklace, her soft curls styled to one side. The couple held hands as they posed, making their red carpet debut both affectionate and poised. Azad complemented his father's look with a navy blue suit, white shirt, and black shoes. He stood confidently beside his father and Gauri, smiling for the cameras.

While the original followed a dyslexic child's emotional journey, the upcoming film focuses on the dreams and triumphs of 10 neurodivergent children. It marks Aamir's return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus following the release of Laal Singh Chaddha. The couple's red carpet debut follows the confirmation of their relationship earlier this year. Aamir introduced Gauri during an informal pre-birthday celebration with the media in March. Hailing from Bengaluru, Gauri works with Aamir Khan Films and has a background in fashion, styling, and photography. She has a Tamilian mother, an Irish father, and a six-year-old son from a previous relationship. Aamir shared that Gauri is still adjusting to Bollywood's limelight and hasn't seen many of his films apart from Lagaan and Dangal. He also mentioned that Gauri has met his close circle, including Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, and has been warmly welcomed by his family. Aamir Khan was previously married to Reena Dutta and later to Kiran Rao. Despite his divorces, he maintains close ties with both his ex-wives and children. First Published: June 19, 2025, 21:19 IST

Shenaaz Gill Embraces Punjabi Charm For Singh Vs Kaur 2 In A Dual-Toned Salwar Kameez
Shehnaaz Gill is busy promoting her upcoming film, Singh Vs Kaur 2. While she is at it, fans can't help but swoon over her charming Punjabi kudi look. The actress recently dished out desi magic in a simple yet dual-toned salwar-kameez avatar. Shenaaz Gill picked out a sleeveless blue kurti featuring a sweetheart neckline. She teamed the monochrome silhouette with white patiala pants, offering some much-needed contrast. The baggy bottomwear was perfect for the summer season as the breezy fabric ensured comfort without compromising on style. A sheer blush pink dupatta wrapped around her bodice added an extra dose of vividness. The three-piece suit was basic, understated and refreshingly feisty - just like Shehnaaz herself. For accessories, Shenaaz Gill resorted to minimal magic. Chunky jhumkas and stacked silver bracelets on one hand took her traditional allure a notch higher. She gave the heavy-duty necklace a miss, making a case for the less-is-more policy. To be honest, we loved how elegantly she carried herself. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shehnaaz Gill (@shehnaazgill) Shenaaz Gill is blessed with clear skin and light makeup simply enhances her look. The 31-year-old went with a dewy base. She dabbed a little amount of blush and contour on the high points of her cheeks, creating a rosy-bronzed glow. Matte pink lips and wispy mascara-adorned lashes, minus any kohl or eyeliner, added to her look. For the final touch of grace, the actress left her wavy tresses open as they sculpted her face like a true work of art. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shehnaaz Gill (@shehnaazgill) On another page of her Singh Vs Kaur 2 diaries, Shehnaaz Gill embraced a more chic vibe. She leaned on a collared white kurta and layered it with a sleeveless red embroidered jacket. Abstract tribal prints in white were the X-factor here. She completed her OOTD by slipping into a pair of blue denim jeans. Minimal makeup and junk jewellery rounded off her boho-ethnic avatar.
