"My contract with n.CH Entertainment, the company that has taken care of me and supported me for 6 years, has expired. I think it's the right time to tell the new news to LEAFs (The name of NATURE's fan club) directly, so I'm writing this letter.

When I was 18 years old, I came to Korea alone without proficiency in the Korean language and made my debut with NATURE. It was a really precious and wonderful experience.

I wanted to convey to LEAFs that I'm sorry for causing them concern and disappointment with my actions. I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart. I'm not working there anymore, but I still think that LEAFs were disappointed."

Earlier on April 27, n.CH Entertainment officially announced NATURE's disbandment after six years. The group debuted on August 3, 2018. Fans were shocked by the announcement, as many expressed heartbreak over the group's state.

n.CH Entertainment shared:

"NATURE has received love from fans while working passionately for the past few years since their debut and is now concluding their group activities. We would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone who has been waiting for their return."

After discussing with the members regarding their activities in the future, it was eventually decided that the group's activities together would come to a close and the members go their separate ways."

Simultaneously, the K-pop community and Korean media caught wind of a separate reveal of Haru introducing herself as a hostess at the Royal Club Sendai, in Japan. Following the viral reveal, Haru addressed the endeavor online.

"I didn't think this would blow up on Twitter. Though most of the reactions were critical and are entirely different on social media, I would like to say that I work hard for my goals. I can also meet wonderful people in the shop right now, so please, I assure you that I enjoy my work."
