Haruna, the youngest member of the girl group Billlie, will take a break from all official activities. On July 25, the agency MYSTIC STORY announced that an intruder forced entry into her home. This incident raised serious concerns for Haruna’s safety and well‑being. Fans responded immediately with messages of support across social platforms.
Agency Actions and Response
MYSTIC STORY reported the intrusion to the police without delay. Haruna was relocated to a new, secure residence for her protection. She then underwent a full medical assessment, including both physical and psychological evaluations. Medical professionals recommended rest and time off to recover emotionally. The agency confirmed Haruna will suspend activities until she regains stability.
Billlie Continues with Six Members
Until Haruna can return, Billlie will promote as a six‑member unit. MYSTIC STORY emphasised the need for her recovery and announced that any threats or attacks toward their artists will be met with strong legal action. They also promised transparency about Haruna’s return timeline once she is ready.
Importance of Mental Health and Safety
This incident underlines the ongoing concern about idol privacy and personal security. Fans have united online to call for improved safety standards. Many pointed out that idols deserve protective measures beyond the stage, including secure housing and legal safeguards that prioritise mental and physical health.
Haruna’s Role and Recent Involvement
Haruna, born in 2006, debuted with Billlie in 2021 at age 15. Even as the youngest, she quickly earned attention through her charismatic stage presence and unique visuals. Before this troubling incident, the group had been busy.
Billlie recently completed promotions for their mini album titled side‑B: memoirs of echo unseen. The group showcased their signature blend of mystery and storytelling. One of the lead singles, DANG! (hocus pocus), featured Haruna in captivating choreography that helped solidify her presence as a standout performer.
In May, they completed successful fan meetings and showcases in Japan. Haruna participated in group content, magazine shoots, and interviews leading up to and during these events. She charmed fans with her approachable demeanour and energy.
Haruna’s participation in K‑content activities was consistent, with special fan‑directed moments and behind‑the‑scenes clips released on social media. All of these added to her reputation as a rising star within the group.
What This Means for Billlie
With Haruna stepping away temporarily, Billlie is facing the challenge of continuing promotions as a six‑member group. The fans, known as Belllieve, remain loyal and supportive. Many have shared their concerns directly with the members through online fan cafes and streaming platforms.
Billlie’s upcoming schedule includes music shows, online content, and potentially Japanese promotions. The agency stated that they will adjust activities as necessary and keep fans informed about Haruna’s return once she is ready.
A Moment of Collective Concern
This sudden announcement created unease among fans. Many opened petitions urging agencies to strengthen safety protocols. Others expressed concern about press intrusion or stalker behaviour. The incident sparked renewed conversations about idol living conditions and the industry’s responsibility to ensure safety off stage.
While home intrusion incidents remain rare in agencies with strong security measures, the breach in this case shows cracks in protective systems. Fans are demanding that agencies offer mental health support, counselling services, and private counselling spaces to help idols recover from traumatic experiences.
Legal Consequences and Next Steps
MYSTIC STORY has pledged to pursue both criminal and civil legal action against the perpetrator. The agency emphasized that no leniency will be given, reinforcing their commitment to protecting their artists. This criminal investigation is ongoing, with the police currently leading the inquiry.
Based on precedent, the agency anticipates strong legal consequences for the intruder. Meanwhile, Haruna’s recovery and eventual return to activities will depend on her medical evaluation and emotional readiness.
