Is it “looking forward to hear from you” or “looking forward to hearing from you”?

The phrasal verb “look forward to” is always followed by a direct object, the thing you’re
looking forward to. As the direct object has to be a noun phrase, it should be the gerund
“hearing,” not the verb “hear.”
•I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.
•I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
