Won Hundred “If the false claims of the junior high school continue, we will take legal action, and we regret the damage to our dignity” [Official position]
On the 20th, Won Hundred stated, “We decided to suspend Joo Hak-nyeon’s activities because we recognized that this incident would cause great harm to team activities.Afterwards, we looked into the situation in detail, and made the decision after fully informing Joo Hak-nyeon that the incident was grounds for contract termination according to Article 6, Clause 3 of the exclusive contract, which states, ‘Acts that damage the dignity of a popular culture artist to the extent that they cause interference with entertainment activities.’” They expressed regret, criticizing Joo Hak-nyeon’s one-sided claims as ‘false.’
Then, they repeatedly emphasized, “We terminated our exclusive contract with Joo Hak-nyeon in accordance with the contents of the exclusive contract, and we clearly state that this was a legitimate and reasonable measure.” They also took a hardline stance, saying, “The essence of this matter lies in Joo Hak-nyeon’s evasion of responsibility and repeated distorted claims.If this continues, we will respond resolutely by using all legal means possible to prevent our artists and the company from being harmed by this, and we will submit supporting data and evidence to the judicial authorities.”
After this statement, there will be no separate statement regarding the main school year.
On the 16th, One Hundred announced that Joo Hak-nyeon would be halting his activities due to “personal reasons.” Two days after the sudden announcement, on the 18th, it was reported that Joo Hak-nyeon had visited a bar in Roppongi, Japan on the night of May 29th and met with Japanese AV actress Aska Kirara.The media outlet Ten Asia was the first to report that Joo Hak-nyeon had bribed Aska Kirara and engaged in prostitution.The agency simultaneously announced Joo Hak-nyeon’s withdrawal from the group and the termination of his exclusive contract, but Joo Hak-nyeon denied the prostitution allegations.
And on the 20th, Joo Hak-nyeon posted on his Instagram, “Even though I have already made it clear that I have not committed any illegal acts, I will take all legal action, both civil and criminal, against some reporters and media outlets that continue to write malicious articles.” He added, “If there is evidence that I engaged in prostitution, please disclose it immediately.Also, I have not withdrawn from the team and have not agreed to the termination of my exclusive contract.” He expressed his intention to take legal action against some media outlets that are making the prostitution incident with One Hundred true.
[The following is the full statement from Won Hundred]
Hello.This is Wonhundred.
We deeply regret Mr.Juhaknyeon’s unilateral false claims.
First, we recognized that this incident involving Juhaknyeon would have a great impact on team activities, so we decided to suspend her activities.Afterwards, we looked into the situation in detail, and we made a decision after fully informing Juhaknyeon that this incident was grounds for contract termination in accordance with Article 6, Section 3 of the exclusive contract, which states, “Acts that damage the dignity of a pop culture artist to the extent that they cause disruption to entertainment activities.”
We have terminated our exclusive contract with Juhaknyeon in accordance with the terms of the exclusive contract, and we would like to make it clear that this was a just and reasonable action.
The essence of this matter lies in Juhaknyeon’s evasion of responsibility and repeated distorted claims.If Juhaknyeon continues to make these claims, we will respond firmly by using all legal means to prevent any damages to the artists and the company, and we will submit supporting materials and evidence to the judicial authorities.
From this statement onwards, we will not be issuing any separate statement regarding Mr.Juhaknyeon’s false claims.
In addition, The Boyz’s activities, excluding Juhaknyeon, will proceed as planned, and we will do our best to protect the honor and rights of the remaining members.Thank you.
