LE SSERAFIM Sakura‘s tearful regret has fallen on deaf ears.
On July 30, a post titled “LE SSERAFIM SAKURA ‘I Don’t Know Why I Chose To Be An Idol’” quickly garnered views. In less than an hour of its upload, the posts has already garnered over 680 responses as of this writing.
In the post, the author uploaded a Sports Chosun article that covered LE SSERAFIM’s recent documentary. In the article, Sakura is quoted as tearfully regretting her decision to become an idol.
I don’t know why I chose to be an idol. For what? Rather than say that it was the wrong choice, I want to ask if being an idol is what I do best. Whenever I make a mistake I think to myself that had I chosen something else, I, too, could have been good at something.

The article goes on to quote the idol further in the article, revealing Sakura’s regrets.
No matter what anyone says, I feel happiest when I am an idol, so I felt it wasn’t right for me to doubt and question myself because I am not talented. I never had those thoughts but when I hear what people say, I sometimes think these things. I wonder why I am doing this to myself when I am crying and struggling so much.
— Sakura
Despite Sakura’s tears, netizens hardly felt sorry for an idol who is making a lot of money doing something others could only dream of. Netizens criticized both Sakura and HYBE for playing the victim.
- “Forget the other stuff, but her skills are a bit… And idols are singers but her skills are a bit… I don’t hate Sakura or LE SSERAFIM but I think it’s an issue that her skills are so lacking. Oh… She’s 10-year veteran idol? Who debuted 3 times??”
- “Are they rage-baiting by playing victim again?”
- “Let’s give our attention elsewhere.”
- “Then leave.”
- “You can leave once your contract is over and if you can’t wait that long then just pay the penalty. It’s not like you were scammed into becoming an idol.”
- “She can continue being an idol, but I think criticism is inevitable. I don’t think she can be an idol and gain praise.”
- “I think it’s odd that she’s still having these thoughts when she’s a 10-year veteran who debuted 3 times… At this point, doesn’t that just mean you really aren’t suited for this job?”
- “Does HYBE really need to add this in the documentary? I think people who didn’t hate Sakura would hate her after watching this.”
- “Did this come out recently? If so, the label really made a mistake.”
