Boys Planet Haruto takes a unique route announcing his departure from WAKEONE Entertainment

Following the reveal of Haruto's new Instagram account, @haruto.slay, it happened to be that his first post talked about his departure from WAKEONE Entertainment. The idol, who gained much popularity during his time on Mnet's reality survival show, Boys Planet, where he showcased his impressive rapping skills and show-stopping dance moves, unfortunately, didn't make it to the final lineup of the debut group, ZEROBASEONE.

However, because of the exposure and fame he received from the show, fans continued to hold out hope that the idol would soon make the debut he so richly deserved. As the news of his departure from his agency hit the internet, fans were initially confused about how to react. It appears his Instagram post, which was a screen recording of him writing his letter to fans and disclosing the occurrence, is particularly unique and funny.

The idol starts off by saying that he typed that he left WAKEONE Entertainment. However, he went on to say that he had a lot of conflicting emotions about it, which was followed by the deletion and insertion of several emojis that tried to communicate how he felt. Later, he decided to leave the second sentence off and wrote instead that he thinks of this as a new beginning and thanks his fans.

What fans couldn't get a hold of was whether his tone was sarcastic or not. However, his caption seems to be straight to the point.

I’ve been at Wakeone for almost a year and a half now, and I was able to learn and grow so much. I’m very grateful to all my teachers, who have always given their best to guide me in becoming a great artist. It’s a new start and although I’m clueless what’s in store for me, it would mean a lot if you guys will continue to support me :)

Being the comedic genius he's proven himself to be through Boys Planet, Haruto confirmed that he's happy to leave the company through his Instagram story and the replies to his fans' comments on his post. The Instagram story had him enacting a scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where the Dobby character is given a book by Harry Potter with a sock inside it. Since it looks like it was given by his owner, Lucius Malfoy, the gift of clothing means that he's free.

As the idol enacted this scene by modifying its dialogues, he tried to convey the message that he was freed from the agency.

Master has given Haruto a sock. Master has presented Haruto with a piece of clothing. Haruto is free~

Additionally, he also added a story of him enthusiastically dancing to LE SSERAFIM's latest track, Unforgiven, which had a GIF of the character Dobby dancing in it.
