THE BOYZ Members Profile

Former The Boyz member Ju Haknyeon has unexpectedly resurfaced at the group’s concert, reigniting controversy nearly nine months after his departure over a private life scandal. On April 26, Ju uploaded a single photo to his personal social media account without any caption. The image showed a wide view of The Boyz’s concert from the audience, with members appearing on a large screen. What might have seemed like a routine concert snapshot quickly drew attention given Ju’s contentious exit from the group. His presence at the venue soon spread across social media platform X, formerly Twitter, and online communities, where photos allegedly showing him seated among fans circulated widely. In those images, he appeared to conceal his identity with a cap and a black mask. Ju left The Boyz in July last year after being swept up in controversy over a reported private meeting in Tokyo with Asuka Kirara, a former adult video actress.

The Boyz have secured a court ruling in their favor in an ongoing contract dispute with their agency One Hundred Label, with both sides issuing contrasting statements over the decision.

A court has granted an injunction sought by members of K-pop group The Boyz to suspend their exclusive contracts with management agency One Hundred Label, a legal representative said Friday. The injunction was filed by nine of the group's 10 members, excluding New. Kim Moon-hee, an attorney at the local law firm Yulchon representing the members, said the court found the agency violated its obligation to make settlement payments and provide financial data. The court also ruled the agency failed to fulfill key contractual duties, including management support and artist protection. "The court determined that the trust between the parties of the contracts had broken down to an irreparable level due to the agency's fault," Kim said. One Hundred Label had argued that signing bonuses paid to the members constituted advance payments. The court rejected that claim, noting that contract provisions treat signing bonuses separately from the distribution of earnings generated from the members' activities. Kim said the members will fulfill previously confirmed schedules despite the suspensions.
