LE SSERAFIM's performance director has stepped in to clear up some unnecessary criticism surrounding member Eunchae.

On September 2, the performance director took to their personal account to address the situation, saying, "I thought the sticker was cute, so I asked her to sign it for me. Please don’t misunderstand."

They continued, "I carry it around every day, so don’t worry… And don’t covet it since it’s not for sale… Please show a lot of interest in 'CRAZY.'"

This response was aimed at addressing a controversy that started online on September 1. To celebrate LE SSERAFIM's comeback, Eunchae had placed stickers featuring her face and the title of their new song on the tumblers, laptops, and other belongings of the staff.

The staff members, in turn, posted pictures on their personal accounts, showing off Eunchae’s fun promotional efforts.

What was meant to be a lighthearted interaction between colleagues quickly attracted criticism from some antis, who labeled Eunchae’s actions as thoughtless. However, the staff members expressed their fondness for Eunchae, with comments like "My laptop is full of traces of Eunchae" and "She took over while I wasn’t looking. Eunchae, be happy."

LE SSERAFIM made their comeback on August 30 with their fourth mini-album, CRAZY. This new album, which comes six months after their third mini-album EASY, carries the message, "Let’s just go crazy together with LE SSERAFIM." The five members sing about letting go of everything and getting lost in a thrilling experience, as if struck by lightning.
