On April 27th, the official website of LE SSERAFIM in Japan published a notice regarding the absence of Sakura from their 3rd Mini Album ‘EASY’ Serial Number ‘Online Benefit’ event.
LE SSERAFIM’s agency announced that Sakura will not be able to attend the ‘Online Benefit’ event for their 3rd Mini Album ‘EASY’ on April 27th (Saturday) due to her current poor health condition.
All members of LE SSERAFIM, except for Sakura, will still attend the fansigning event as planned. However, activities like random member fansigns and individual photo shoots will be postponed until a later date.
After reading the news, netizens left comments expressing their support for the artist, saying things like, “Despite her busy schedule abroad, she has been working tirelessly. Stay strong,”and “Even with a high fever, she still managed to complete her pre-recording commitments and follow the concert’s cue sheet. That’s dedication.”Some fans who have been following the artist for a while also shared their concerns, saying, “I’ve always admired Sakura’s dedication to her fans and how she never misses events like fansigns. I hope she’s getting the proper care she needs, physically and mentally.”
During a recent press conference addressing the ongoing conflict between HYBE and ADOR, CEO Min Hee-jin discussed the involvement of Sakura and Kim Chae-won, members of the group LE SSERAFIM. Min Hee-jin expressed her frustration at the delay in promoting NewJeans, citing the debut of LE SSERAFIM as the reason. As the first female CEO at HYBE, she had prepared for NewJeans to be the agency’s first girl group, but was instructed to postpone their debut in favor of introducing LE SSERAFIM first.
In light of this, Source Music has stated their intention to take legal action against individuals who post malicious comments or share false information, engage in sexual harassment, or make slurs or insults towards our artists, in order to protect their well-being.
Before HYBE’s internal conflict, LE SSERAFIM received criticism for their subpar live performance at the Coachella festival in the US, which led to a backlash.
Born in 1998, Sakura is currently 26 years old. She began her singing career in Japan in 2011 and later debuted in Korea as a part of IZ*ONE in 2018. Following the disbandment of IZ*ONE, she re-debuted in 2022 as a member of LE SSERAFIM.
