In a new trailer for LE SSERAFIM‘s upcoming documentary series, MAKE IT LOOK EASY, fans have spotted Eunchae using the Twitter app (now known as X) to read netizens’ comments. The revelation has been upsetting to numerous FEARNOTs — unsurprising given the amount of malicious comments the maknae has been receiving recently.
LE SSERAFIM’s documentary already stirred up emotions with its first trailer, in which the members can be seen in various states of distress, from Yunjin crying to Chaewon receiving an intravenous (IV) drip. The rare glimpses into the idols’ lives have left fans heartbroken by what they go through, with many fearing they’ll be unable to watch the most emotional scenes. Now, the group has released individual trailers for each member, giving fans a closer look at their most personal struggles.
In Eunchae’s trailer, seemingly during a schedule, the 17-year-old idol can be seen with the X app open, scrolling through posts. While the screen has been blurred out, she can be seen reading comments that appear to be about her work as KBS Music Bank‘s MC. From the footage, it is unclear whether the posts are in Korean, English, or both.

Over the past few months, LE SSERAFIM have been subject to a hotbed of harsh criticism, with Eunchae bearing the brunt of many of the comments. The worst of the posts began after the group’s Coachella performance earlier this year, for which they faced severe backlash over their live vocals. Eunchae in particular became a common target, and her personal Instagram account was quickly flooded with toxic comments questioning her abilities and whether she was ready to debut.
Comments continued to surge after statements made by ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin regarding both LE SSERAFIM and their agency, Source Music. Earlier this month, Source Music lodged a lawsuit against Min Hee Jin, stating that her remarks (which included claims that LE SSERAFIM’s debut had resulted in HYBE LABELS neglecting NewJeans) had resulted in a flurry of malicious comments towards the group.
As such, fans are worried and disappointed to know that Eunchae may be seeing the hate she receives on other platforms too. Many are begging her to delete the app, while others are simply lamenting how much the comments must affect her at such a vulnerable age.

While some fans have attempted to lighten the mood by joking that Eunchae is “OOMF,” the prevailing sentiment among FEARNOTs is one of concern. In the voiceover for the first trailer, Eunchae can be heard saying, “To me, the word ‘success’ feels really far away.” In the second trailer, she states, “I want everyone to say that I’m good, instead of having mixed reactions.”
we say this all the time but… eunchae’s only 17. the stress she has and all that she’s going through is not normal. idc if you think she should be better or who started what. that’s a 17 year old girl who’s still learning and growing. you freaks are so inhuman to target her

Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that the clip of Eunchae reading posts appears to be from several years ago, leading many to hope that she no longer uses the app. That being said, toxicity towards all five LE SSERAFIM members rose so high that the group’s comment feature was disabled on Instagram back in late June this year, leaving no doubt that they have seen many of the remarks made.
that video was from 2022 so i really hope eunchae doesn’t still scroll through twitter this app is horrible i don’t want her seeing the nasty shit these ppl say
