Former K-Pop Idol Haru of NATURE Becomes Hostess in Japan, Group Disbands

K氏鄉民8/23/2026 1 min read

NATURE, a nine-member girl group that debuted in 2018, officially announced its disbandment on April 27, 2024. Recently, Japanese member Haru (하루) garnered attention from Korean and Japanese fans due to a career transition. Her sudden appearance at a hostess club in Sendai, Japan, where she publicly declared her new role, unexpectedly led fans to suspect NATURE's disbandment.

Haru recently appeared in a promotional video for "Royal Club Sendai" in Japan, introducing herself to potential customers. Surprisingly, she did not shy away from her past idol identity, instead openly referring to herself as a "former K-pop idol" and revealing her new profession as a hostess. The video even interspersed clips of her past fan meetings and music show appearances, emphasizing her history as a member of a Korean girl group.

The video also showed Haru dancing and holding bottles of alcohol. A "hostess" primarily involves female staff accompanying guests for drinks, conversation, and entertainment, catering mainly to male clients, and does not involve providing sexual services.

H.O.T.'s Jang Woo-hyuk Accused of Assault and Abuse; Defamation Case Heads to Appeals Court

Jang Woo-hyuk (장우혁), a singer from first-generation idol group H.O.T., was accused by a former female employee of verbal abuse and physical assault. The employee, identified as 'Ms. A,' was subsequently charged with defamation for publicly disclosing her claims. After being acquitted in the first trial, prosecutors appealed the decision, with the second trial scheduled to reopen in September.

Haru was previously a member of NATURE, a girl group under n.CH Entertainment. NATURE debuted in 2018 with Korean members So-hee (소희), Sae-bom (새봄), Lu (루), Chae-bin (채빈), Lo-ha (로하), U-chae (유채), Sun-shine (선샤인), Chinese member Aurora (오로라), and Japanese member Haru.

After the video's release, many fans were not only shocked by her career change but also expressed concern for her work environment. Some netizens pointed out that hostesses often need to drink with guests, and long-term heavy drinking could be detrimental to health. Additionally, they might face difficult customers or even sexual harassment, leading to significant worry among fans.

What saddened fans even more was that Haru's sudden career change indirectly confirmed that NATURE had reached the disbandment stage. Many fans were dismayed upon learning this, exclaiming, "This is the first time I've experienced a group I truly liked disbanding, and I'm really sad."

Other fans expressed resignation, stating they hadn't expected NATURE to continue activities, but were upset to "learn of the disbandment in such a way." They hoped the agency would formally announce the group's future to fans, adding, "It's really hard to watch your favorite idols slowly disappear without ever getting a formal ending."

In fact, NATURE's last comeback was on November 6, 2022, with their third mini-album, "NATURE World: Code W." Since then, there had been a long period of no group activities. In recent years, signs of disbandment had also appeared, including the termination of their Bubble service, official social media accounts rarely mentioning NATURE, and Haru's return to Japan.

Now, with Haru's new job revealed, fans have gradually come to terms with the fact that NATURE is unlikely to return as a group. Unexpectedly, the day after news of Haru's activities surfaced, n.CH Entertainment officially announced NATURE's disbandment, confirming fans' earlier suspicions.

However, Haru's work at "Royal Club Sendai" reportedly did not last long. She is now said to have transitioned to teaching K-pop dance classes in Sendai, embarking on a new life path different from her idol career.
