Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Kazuha, and Eunchae from the group LE SSERAFIM were on Sunmi's Show! Interview to talk about how their group got started.

They took turns discussing how they were inspired to become vocalists and the obstacles they faced prior to their debut.

Two members of the group, Sakura and Kim Chaewon, came from very different backgrounds until they met on the show Produce 48.

This is how they ended up in the K-Pop girl group IZ*ONE, which has 12 members. The team existed until April 2021, when their contracts expired and the group was disbanded.

Sakura and Kim Chaewon talked about how they felt after leaving IZ*ONE in a rare moment when they could talk about their past lives as members of IZ*ONE.

"I felt like something was missing", Sakura said. "I had always been part of some groups, but all of a sudden I was on my own… I felt so lonely."

After getting stronger, Sakura went back to South Korea with the goal of making her debut with a group she wouldn't leave.

Sunmi then asked her how she felt when she found out that Kim Chaewon would be in LE SSERAFIM with her.

Sakura said with a voice full of emotion, "To be honest, I didn't think I'd ever see her again. I was so excited to make my debut with her again…so happy."

Kim Chaewon shared Sakura's feelings: "As IZ*ONE disbanded, I said a final farewell to Sakura, but seeing her again…it was unreal, and I felt so secure," she explained.

Sakura and Kim Chaewon must have been meant to work together again in LE SSERAFIM, since their group has done so well. All of the people in IZ*ONE have a strong bond with each other because they help each other in any way they can.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
