Fans have speculated on THIS fourth-gen K-pop girl group's status in the music scene. However, their assumptions were fueled further by some of the members' "confirmations" about the group parting ways.

Here's what happened.

NATURE Haru, Saebom 'Hint' Group's Disbandment in Social Media by Dong THIS, Fans in Turmoil as Saddening Claims Spread Online

The girl group in question is none other than NATURE.

NATURE debuted on August 3, 2018, with their first single album "Girls and Flowers," along with its title track "Allegro Cantabile."

Their inclusion during the 2018 wave led them to ride along with other early fourth-gen K-pop groups such as (G)I-DLE, TXT, ITZY, and many more. The group is also known for releasing songs such as "OOPSIE," "I'm So Pretty," "RICA RICA," and "LIMBO!"

However, after releasing their third mini album "NATURE World: Code W" on November 6, 2022, fans started to observe noticeable indicators of disbandment.

Regarding their activities for 2023, it was announced on March 9 of that same year that NATURE would be having a comeback scheduled for May (2023). Unfortunately, the comeback never happened, disappointing many fans who were anticipating the girl group's new music.

Following their lack of music, the disbandment speculations were established in November 2023, when fans were shocked due to member Haru not being aware of the group's Bubble accounts being suspended.

Apart from the Bubble app, fans claimed that the group's official X (Twitter) account was also unverified, questioning the company's plans for NATURE.

"Is the Bubble ending now? What should we do," Haru remarked.

On January 5, Haru, alongside her bandmate Saebom caught attention for their responses towards NATURE's uncertain future.

On Instagram, Haru engaged with fans through a Q&A in her Stories, with one fan asking, "Haru, what is going to happen to NATURE? Please tell us." This was firmly replied to by Haru, who tearily apologized to the fan by saying, "sorry."

Fans were saddened by her reply, leading them to express their sorrow due to NATURE's doubtful future. Some also saw déjà vu with the interaction and resembled it to the reply of former Brave Girls member Yuna. Read their reactions below:

Meanwhile, Saebom also made rounds earlier on December 31, 2023, when the idol uploaded a mirror selfie on her Instagram.

While many were endeared by her visuals, many seemed to think that Saebom had confirmed NATURE's disbandment by reacting to several fans' comments, who thoroughly assessed their status as a group.

NATURE's agency n.CH Entertainment has yet to give an official statement regarding the girl group's upcoming plans and lingering status.
