The popular Korean girl group NATURE has officially ended its group activities, n.CH Entertainment announced today. The decision comes after discussions were triggered by Japanese member Haru (Abe Haruno) working in Japanese erotic venues.
NATURE, which debuted in 2018 and consists of multi-national members, including Korean, Chinese, and Japanese members, had not released new music since 2022. However, Haru’s recent appearance in a video from a sex venue in Sendai City, Japan, as a former K-POP idol turned hostess, caused shock among fans and led to discussions on social media.
In response to the controversy, Haru confessed on social media that she did not expect such a strong reaction and explained that she was working towards setting up a dance studio. Her agency, n.CH Entertainment, stated that they were unable to contact Haru after she returned to China and confirmed that NATURE is currently suspended from activities.
After further discussions and deliberation, n.CH Entertainment announced the disbandment of NATURE, expressing regret to fans who were anticipating the group’s return. The agency also revealed that member Sohee will stay with the company for solo activities in music and acting.
Fans of NATURE have been supportive of the members in the past and are encouraged to continue supporting them in their individual endeavors. The future of the former members of NATURE remains to be seen as they embark on their own paths.
The news of NATURE’s disbandment and Haru’s controversial work has left fans saddened, but hopeful for the future of the talented group members.
