LE SSERAFIM, the rising girl group under Source Music, recently made an appearance on JTBC's "Knowing Bros," and it was a moment that fans and netizens won't forget anytime soon.

During the show, Kazuha, one of the members, revealed a story from her ballet student days before debuting as an idol under JYP Entertainment.

Kazuha, who is Japanese, shared that she had been studying ballet for 15 years, starting at the tender age of three.

She even studied abroad in the Netherlands to pursue her dream of becoming a ballerina. However, her life took an unexpected turn when she suddenly became interested in K-Pop while attending ballet school.

"I thought I would try auditioning, so I sent a video, and I received a call back," she shared, revealing that she had no idea what was coming her way.

At first, Kazuha thought it was a scam, but when she met the JYP team in person, she realized that it was the real deal.

The transition from ballet to K-Pop wasn't easy for Kazuha. In ballet, you need to keep your core and maintain your posture, but when she started K-Pop, she took hip-hop classes and found it challenging to get used to the bent postures. Her teacher even said that she looked like a tree dancing.

Despite the difficulties, Kazuha persevered and pursued her dream. When asked if her parents had any objections to her career choice, she said that they were worried, but they understood that doing what you want to do is the best thing.

As expected, netizens had a lot to say about Kazuha's story. Here are some of the comments:

"Kazuha's story is so inspiring! It's amazing how she pursued her dreams and didn't let anything hold her back."

"I can't believe Kazuha used to be a ballerina! She's such a great dancer, and her hard work definitely paid off."

"Kazuha's dedication to her craft is so admirable. It's not easy to switch from ballet to K-Pop, but she did it with grace and determination."

"I love how supportive Kazuha's parents are. It's essential to have a strong support system when pursuing your dreams."

"Kazuha's story is proof that you can do anything you set your mind to. I'm excited to see what else she'll accomplish in the future."
