Former Pornstar Involved With Ju Haknyeon Accused Of Cheating On Her Boyfriend, A YouTuber With Disabilities

Ju Haknyeon, a former member of THE BOYZ, is currently in hot water after being exposed for his association with a former Japanese adult film actress. The exposé has led to his departure from THE BOYZ, and the controversy has been snowballing.

The adult actress in question, Asuka Kirara, is also under intense public scrutiny. As the issue started getting more and more attention, many dug into her public life and discovered that she was openly in a relationship with a YouTuber with disabilities and made headlines for it.

In 2024, she went public with her relationship with the YouTuber, Hilock (real name Ryu Hirokawa), who was 12 years her junior. Japan’s L Magazine had reported that Asuka made an appearance on the runway at a fashion show held at Kyocera Dome in Osaka with Ryu.

The two were dressed in cosplay as Akazukin and the silver wolf Val, characters from the 2005 anime Fairy Musketeers Little Red Riding Hood. Their joint appearance was staged as a special event to fulfill Ryu’s dream of walking on a runway.

Reports around the time of that event revealed that Ryu and Asuka had met through a collaboration video and announced their relationship on social media in June 2024. Ryu, who publicly revealed his intellectual disability in 2021, has gained considerable public support and has been a prolific YouTuber with over 60,000 subscribers.

Given that the two made no public announcement of a breakup, many netizens are now left speculating if Asuka was cheating on Ryu with Ju Haknyeon.

Some heated online forum discussions also saw people debating if it was all just a gimmick.

• “F*ck, why do I have to end up finding out stuff like this when I just started fangirling over K-pop idols…”
• “Whether it’s just a concept or not, I seriously f*cking hate it.”
• “They say that kind of thing does well in the AV world, right? Does that concept(?) actually help with her business too…? I really don’t understand…”
• “They don’t seem mentally stable, honestly.”
• “It’s probably just a business thing or a concept.”
• “This is f*cking endless.”
