It’s been around a year since he was last seen.
After the finalé of Boys Planet, many of the show’s popular trainees debuted in spin-off groups, including YY Entertainment‘s TOZ.
TOZ — consisting of Anthonny, Haruto (also known as Hart), Yuto, and Takuto — debuted in 2024 following a pre-release album the year before.
Excitement over the group quickly turned into frustration and disappointment when they suddenly went quiet, entering an informal hiatus. Fears of members departing from the group grew after Haruto was excluded from fan club material released in April 2025.
There has been no mention of Hart on the group’s social accounts, including them not posting for his birthday in November.
Now, the idol has been spotted for the first time in months!
On June 14, a netizen shared an image of Haruto at the Seoul Queer Parade, showing the idol eating a banana and holding a sign.
According to the netizen, who said Haruto gave permission for the post, he asked her to post to let XLOV fans know he was eating something given to him by a member of the group.
Another netizen who saw the idol said that he showed them a video of him voguing behind one of the parade’s floats.

photo of someone without their permission and definitely not post it but he literally asked me to take this and
post it! i didn’t even mention that i talked with bain until long after pride was over.. privacy, respect and consent for…— 𝔪𝔬𝔬𝔡𝔶🕊️ (@moody_dotcom) June 14, 2025
