• LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura Drops Her Own Crochet Line ‘KKUROCHET’ – A Must-Have for Fans and DIY Lovers

    LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura is taking her love for crochet to the next level with her very own merchandise line!

    On January 14, Sakura will officially launch KKUROCHET, a crochet-inspired collection that she’s been passionately working on. This marks her first-ever personal merchandise release, and it’s all about sharing her love for crocheting with fans.

    With crochet becoming a trendy hobby among teens and young adults, KKUROCHET is expected to catch the eye of not only FEARNOTs (LE SSERAFIM’s fandom) but also anyone who loves handmade and retro-style items.

    Fans got a sneak peek of the year-long preparation for KKUROCHET in a FEARLOG video uploaded to LE SSERAFIM’s YouTube channel on January 10. The video showed how Sakura poured her heart into the project, starting from brainstorming in early 2023.

    She personally contributed ideas for the designs and created items like wish-granting keychains, colorful keychains representing her fellow members, and versatile straps that can attach to lightsticks or phones.

    Sakura even shared her own sketches and personally checked the samples to ensure everything was just right.

    One of the standout items is the DIY crochet kit. Sakura shared, "KKUROCHET is my way of encouraging FEARNOT to try something new with me. When fans tell me, 'I tried something for the first time because of you,' it makes me feel like I’m helping them discover more about themselves. I hope this collection inspires more people to enjoy crocheting and find hobbies they truly love."

    Starting at 11 a.m. on January 14, Sakura’s beautifully crafted KKUROCHET line will be available for purchase on the global fan platform Weverse Shop. Don’t miss out on this special collection filled with love and creativity.

  • BTS' Jin visits Andong to help wildfire victims, serves meals at Baek Jong Won’s relief center

    BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

    On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

    Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

    Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

    Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

    Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

    This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
