• LE SSERAFIM's Sakura had no idea HYBE's cafeteria is "completely free" until Kim Chaewon pointed it out

    LE SSERAFIM's Sakura, recently shared her thoughts about HYBE's cafeteria.

    On February 20th, a video was uploaded on the '뜬뜬 DdeunDdeun' channel. The video was from the web show 'OneCam', hosted by comedian Yoo Jae Suk. Sakura and Kim Chaewon, both members of LE SSERAFIM, were the guests.

    During the show, Yoo Jae Suk mentioned his visits to the JYP and YG cafeterias. He then asked, "HYBE has a cafeteria too, right?" To this, Sakura responded with surprise, "It's crazy"

    Yoo Jae Suk then asked, "Is it free?" Kim Chaewon confirmed, "Yes, it's free for us." However, Sakura seemed unsure and said, "I don't know. I thought it was deducted from our pay." Kim Chaewon clarified, "I checked because I was curious, but that's not the case. It's free."

    Upon hearing this, Sakura was amazed and said, "Wow, that's great." She was embarrassed and admitted, "I didn't know that."

    This made Yoo Jae Suk laugh and he joked, "So, Sakura thought she was spending her own money every time she ate?" Kim Chaewon smiled and said, "It's a nice benefit."

    Yoo Jae Suk added, "When it's free, you eat differently than when you have to pay. You'll eat less."

    Sakura playfully pointed at Kim Chaewon and said, "That's why she ate so much." Kim Chaewon retorted, "And that's why you didn't eat much."

    He laughed and said, "It's so tasty and free, why wouldn't you eat?" Sakura concluded, "From now on, I'll make the most of HYBE's benefits."
