“NATURE”, the Korean idol group that was exposed as a cabaret worker, announces disbandment “After long consideration, we are going our separate ways” – Sponichi Sponichi Annex Entertainment

The Korean girl group NATURE, whose Japanese member Haru (24) was revealed to be working at a cabaret club in Japan, announced their disbandment on the 27th. Korean media reported that the announcement was made through a fan site.

Their agency, n.CH Entertainment, said, “We would like to sincerely apologize to the many fans who have been waiting for NATURE’s comeback.After deep discussions with the members regarding their future activities and future activities, after long consideration. We have ended our group activities and will now go our separate ways.” Member Sohee will continue her contract with the company and will continue to engage in various individual activities such as music and acting.

NATURE debuted in August 2018 as an eight-member multinational girl group. After two members joined, one member left, and the group became a nine-member group. The songs “RICA RICA” and “LIMBO!” released in 2022 attracted attention for their eccentric dance moves, but they had not released any new songs since November of the same year.

Regarding Haru, ROYAL CLUB, a cabaret club with a store in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, posted a self-introduction video of a person who appears to be Haru on TikTok by the 24th, and it became a hot topic. Haru calls her “Sakura Ruru” and says she is “a new hostess who has been working for three months.” She herself said, “She has been active as a K-Pop idol in Korea for six years since she was 18 years old, and is currently working as a hostess to save up money to establish a dance studio.” A photo of her when she was active as NATURE’s Haru has also been released.

At this point, there has been no announcement of NATUURE’s dissolution or contract cancellation, and the group’s Instagram was updated in February of this year to commemorate Haru’s birthday. When it became clear that Haru had become a hostess, fans were agitated, asking, “Did nature disband?” “They didn’t announce their withdrawal or disband, right? Huh???? What do you mean…?”

In response to this, Sakura Ruru’s Instagram and NATURE’s Haru’s Instagram each updated their stories and responded to this incident. However, on the night of the 26th, he posted on Instagram as Sakura Ruru, “My agency (unfortunately, the contract has not been canceled) asked me to delete the video, so I deleted it.” I’m sorry,” he apologized.
