- Why: After the internal investigation, the Joo agency, UncomcentHe concluded that the combination of drinking with an AV actress, PDA in public and an unauthorized hotel absence risked damaging the group’s image, especially given their young fan base.
The confirmed facts are: Joo Haknyeon drank with Asuka Kirara, went to his house after the gathering and returned to the group’s hotel the next morning. Initially, Joo confessed to having participated in the gathering and returning home with Kirara, saying during his interview with the agency: “I didn’t pay. The others paid. I don’t want to cause more damage to members.” But after the decision of his removal, he took a step back, stating: “In reality I didn’t sleep with her. I just said it to look beautiful.”
The agency had two important concerns: firstly, the potential public backlash if they had to lose photos with an AV actress; Secondly, the legal risks if someone in the group had paid the presence of women. The cited agency Clause 6, section 3 of his contract, allowing the resolution for acts that compromise the dignity of an artist, as a justification to cut the bonds.
