Former girl group member who worked as a hostess at an entertainment venue shares update after a long time
On July 14th, Haru shared a handwritten letter on her SNS addressing her past employment at an adult entertainment establishment.
Haru began by saying, “My contract with n.CH Entertainment, which has taken care of me and supported me unconditionally for six years, has expired. I felt it was right to personally convey this news to LEAF (NATURE’s fan club), so I wrote this letter. At the age of 18, I came to Korea alone without knowing the language and debuted as a member of NATURE. It was truly a precious and wonderful experience.”
She continued, “I want to sincerely apologize to LEAF for causing worry and disappointment with my actions, even though it is late. I am no longer involved in the related work (adult entertainment establishment), but I believe it was something that disappointed LEAF.”
Previously, on April 26th, it was reported that Haru was working as a hostess at a kyabakura (hostess club) in Japan.
Haru appeared on a TikTok account associated with a kyabakura, explaining that she was working there under the name “Sakura Lulu” to raise funds to establish a dance studio.
According to the initial report, the kyabakura where Haru worked was located in Kokubuncho of Sendai, Miyagi, famous as the best entertainment district in northeastern Japan. The kyabakura’s website listed a hostess named “Lulu”, mentioned to be from Miyagi Prefecture and having worked as an idol in Korea.
Following this revelation, NATURE disbanded abruptly the next day, on April 27th. At that time, Haru expressed gratitude to her supporters and mentioned she had more to say but could not disclose everything, asking for a bit more patience.
In her recent letter, Haru reiterated, “I am now preparing for a new challenge and trying to communicate more with LEAF. While my time as an idol has ended, the love and support from LEAF will always remain in my heart, and I will never forget it.“
