THE BOYZ Joins Summer Comeback Race, Announces World Tour Amidst Recent Controversy

THE BOYZ is set to heat up the summer comeback scene.

A representative from their agency, Onehundred, confirmed to Xportsnews on the 27th, "We are currently preparing for a comeback aimed for July."

This marks THE BOYZ's first comeback following the departure and contract termination of Ju Haknyeon. With Sangyeon currently serving in the military, the group will promote as a nine-member unit.

Following their comeback, THE BOYZ will kick off their world tour with a three-day concert at Seoul's KSPO Dome from August 8 to 10, titled 'THE BOYZ WORLD TOUR in SEOUL'.



Recently, reports surfaced on the 18th that Ju Haknyeon had a private meeting with former AV actress Asuka Kirara at a bar in Tokyo. Onehundred stated, "It has become difficult to maintain trust as an artist," announcing Ju Haknyeon's departure from the group.

Further reports alleged that the meeting involved paid sexual services, which Ju Haknyeon denied, stating, "It is true that I was at the gathering with acquaintances on the early morning of May 30, 2025, but there was no mention of paid sexual services or illegal activities in the articles or rumors."

Ju Haknyeon also claimed, "I have not left the team, nor have I agreed to terminate my exclusive contract. The agency demanded compensation exceeding KRW 2 billion."
