Haru (NEXZ)

Haru, born Inoue Haru on January 23, 2006, is one of the sharpest movement specialists inside NEXZ. The Osaka-born performer finished second on Nizi Project Season 2, then entered the market through Ride the Vibe with a popping-based style that immediately gave the group cleaner lines, tighter rhythm changes, and a stronger live-performance edge.

His role inside NEXZ is bigger than a simple dance label. Haru helps define how the team looks in motion, especially as the group expands across Korean releases and Japanese touring cycles. From the pre-debut single Miracle to the 2025 run of O-RLY?, One Bite, and Beat-Boxer, he has stayed tied to the performance-first identity that gives JYP Entertainment another credible next-generation act.

Who is Haru from NEXZ?
Haru is Inoue Haru, a Japanese member of NEXZ born on January 23, 2006 in Osaka. He ranked second on Nizi Project Season 2 and debuted with the group on May 20, 2024. Within NEXZ, he is positioned primarily as a main dancer and rapper.
What dance style is Haru known for?
Haru is best known for popping. Before debut, he built a competition background strong enough to place Best 8 at a national popping event, and that technical control carried into NEXZ's stage identity. His movement style tends to give the group sharper timing, cleaner isolations, and stronger contrast in performance-heavy sections.
How did Haru join NEXZ?
Haru joined NEXZ through Nizi Project Season 2, the joint JYP Entertainment and Sony Music Japan audition project that built the group. He finished second in the final rankings, which reflected how consistently he stood out across the program as a dancer, performer, and trainee with clear stage discipline.
What are Haru's main releases with NEXZ?
Haru's key releases with NEXZ include the pre-debut single Miracle, the 2024 debut single Ride the Vibe, the EP Nallina, and the 2025 run of O-RLY?, One Bite, and Beat-Boxer. Those releases map the group's rapid shift from survival-show launch to a real Korea-and-Japan two-market act.
Why is Haru important to NEXZ's performances?
Haru helps define NEXZ's performance line because his technique is grounded in control rather than just energy. His popping background gives the choreography extra detail, especially in transitions and rhythm changes. As NEXZ scaled through sold-out Japan dates and larger Korean stages, Haru became one of the members most closely tied to the group's live sharpness.
