Haruta

Haruta gives SMTR25 one of its clearest continuity arcs because he entered Reply High School with preexisting recognition from the SM ecosystem. Born on March 5, 2006, the Japanese trainee was placed in the 2010s class of the Mnet reality series, where SM Entertainment is openly testing chemistry, visibility, and audience response ahead of its next boy-group launch.

That prior visibility matters. Before the current rollout, Haruta had already been clocked by fans through NCT Universe : LASTART, so SM was not starting from zero when it folded him into the official SMTR25 push. The introduction-film campaign, official profile photos, and the 2026 single We Go Up gave that recognition a cleaner frame and turned him from a familiar trainee face into a more structured contender inside SM's current build.

For HITKULTR, Haruta is the page that shows how SM can recycle attention instead of rebuilding it. He is still pre-debut, but he already carries a story audiences can follow.

Fans Also Ask

Who is Haruta in SMTR25?
Haruta is a Japanese trainee in SM Entertainment's SMTR25 project. He appears in Reply High School as part of the 2010s class, which places him inside the most public stage of SM's current rookie build as the company tests trainees through weekly audience exposure.
How old is Haruta from SMTR25?
Haruta was born on March 5, 2006, according to the official Reply High School profile rollout. His age and nationality matter because SMTR25 is being positioned as a multinational trainee team, and Haruta is part of the Japanese line inside that public build.
Was Haruta on NCT Universe : LASTART?
Yes. Haruta had pre-debut visibility through NCT Universe : LASTART before Reply High School and the SMTR25 rollout took shape. That earlier exposure gave fans a reference point, which made his current SMTR25 push feel like a continuation rather than a full reset.
Has Haruta debuted yet?
No. Haruta is still in a pre-debut trainee phase. SMTR25 has already given him official music and broadcast exposure through We Go Up and Reply High School, but SM Entertainment has not confirmed the final debut lineup he may enter.
