Behind every smiling face is an untold story, which is vividly fulfilled by Haru, a member of the Korean girl group NATURE.
Haru, who has been fighting in the entertainment industry for many years and is always smiling, was recently revealed to have become a wine escort behind her back.
This sparked a big debate about idol ethics, the entertainment industry, and East Asian social mores.
Accompany the outbreak of the wine news
Can you imagine a once cute and innocent idol who has been reduced to serving strangers as a barmaid in the blink of an eye? This is the "Haru incident" that has recently caused an uproar in the Korean entertainment industry.
As a member of the South Korean girl group NATURE, Japanese artist Haru was exposed working at a "special services" place in Tokyo, and even promotional photos were exposed.
This caused a lot of controversy in the outside world, but Haru was not ashamed, saying that it was for the sake of "life purpose".
Haru, who originally shined in the idol world, was deeply involved in a storm of public opinion overnight.
II. Haru's identity and trajectory
Haru (real name Haruno Abe), a girl who came out of Japan, made her debut in Korea in 2018 as a member of NATURE.
NATURE is a girl group launched by Penguin Entertainment South Korea, consisting of seven Korean members, including one Chinese member and one Japanese member.
Since his debut, Haru has impressed fans with his spirit of fighting side by side with his friends and his dazzling and cute image.
Although they initially tried to debut with a youthful and energetic image, they ultimately failed to attract much attention.
III. The transformation from idol to barmaid
The incident was caused by a nightclub in Sendai City sharing a video on TikTok about one of its female publicists, who called herself "Sakura Ruru".
She said she has been a member of a Kpop girl group for six years since she was 18 years old, and now as a member of the club, her goal is to save enough money to open her own dance studio.
And when netizens' eyes returned to this female publicist again, they found that her personal information was completely consistent with her when she was in NATURE, which undoubtedly proved that she was the passionate and dreamy Haru of the Korean group.
Regarding the continued fermentation of this matter, n.CH Entertainment, the company to which Haru belongs, responded to the media on the 26th that it was confirming the truth of the facts.
Haru also euphemistically expressed through SNS that there are still some things that cannot be said, and I hope you can wait a while.
Many netizens expressed their difficulty in accepting it. The image of Haru in the video is very different, no longer a cute ponytail girl, but a wine escort girl holding a wine bottle. This shift came as a shock to everyone.
V. The "Drinking Style" in the Japanese and Korean Entertainment Circles
In fact, such things are not uncommon in the Japanese and Korean entertainment circles, and it is very common for members of girl groups to be invited to a cocktail party, which is also an opportunity for artists to expand their contacts.
This kind of drinking party is still very embarrassing, of course, if the two sides are willing to have any deals, no one will care.
The chances of the general trend girl group participating in forced drinking or sexual entertainment are very small.
Because in case of an explosion, it will affect the company to make money, and it will be troublesome for the other party to deal with it. The vast majority of those who can stand in high positions have this self-control.
But it is obvious that the group NATURE does not belong to this ranks, and few people know it for almost 6 years since its debut, and it is obvious that it belongs to the type that is so mushy that it can't be pasted, and the members of the girl group naturally don't have many choices.
And before Haru, there were quite a few artists who embarked on this path. It's a secret within the industry, open but with a veil of mystery. Japanese idol Shida Aika was revealed to have pulled peers into the group to accompany the drink.
Not to mention accompanying wine, the competition in the Japanese and Korean entertainment circles is very fierce, and there are all there to accompany the entire crew for a role, of course, this is before it became famous.
After becoming famous, accompanying investors, directors, and directors of the purchasing department of TV stations are all within the normal scope of work.
And letting you accompany you is worthy of you.
VI. Comments on events and the future of Haru
Of course, even though this is an open secret, Haru's actions have caused great controversy.
The image of an idol that has been worked hard over the years has been shattered in an instant, and many people have questioned Haru's attitude towards his career. The appearance of such a thing once again slapped the ugly side of Korean entertainment capital, and once again made people understand the cruelty of Korean entertainment.
On the road of life, Haru still has many possible options. I hope she can think clearly and not give up on the long-term future because of short-term difficulties.
Finally, the pressure of the Korean girl group and the number of employees are obvious.
For example, f(x)'s Sydney and KARA's Goo Hara, who were at the peak of their careers, chose to leave when they were under the age of 30, which is enough to show the helplessness of the Korean girl group.
I have to say that South Korea's entertainment industry is really too chaotic, I hope that China will not learn from Japan and South Korea, and now the development of the domestic entertainment industry has been getting better and better.
In fact, there is not much need for Chinese female trainees to make their debut in South Korea.
If you have the opportunity to develop in domestic entertainment, look at how many Korean debuting members have squeezed their heads back to China, and you will know that the environment faced by Chinese and Korean entertainment practitioners is very different.
