LE SSERAFIM‘s Sakura is facing intense criticism after a recent documentary sparked a heated discussion online. The controversy erupted following her emotional remarks in the documentary, which many netizens found controversial.
Viral Post Sparks Outrage
A post titled “Sakura Is Unbelievable,” published on July 30, has gone viral, amassing over 140,000 views. The post criticizes Sakura for her tearful regret about becoming an idol.
โHow can a singer be afraid to sing? Thatโs like a police officer saying they are afraid to shoot a gun, a chef who is afraid of restaurants, a writer who is afraid of writing. This seriously makes me laugh.โ

Netizens React Strongly
The viral post has ignited a flurry of responses, with many netizens expressing their disapproval of Sakura’s comments in the documentary. Here are some of the reactions:

“Sheโs so hopeless that I am speechlessโฆ I think sheโll be saying the same thing 10 years from now.”
“What was HYBE thinking when they debuted someone like her? Is it right that they debuted someone who is so bad at singing that sheโs become afraid of it? If a singer isnโt able to continue singing, they should quit. Why is she continuing? Still, they send her to Coachella. I guess HYBE thought audiences were stupid.”
“Sheโd have more confidence if she could sing better. So practice. What does she want us to do about it?”
“Did they debut her because HYBE didnโt have anyone prettier and who sang better? I seriously donโt understand. Sheโs pretty but it isnโt like sheโs a top 5 visual and it isnโt like she dances or raps very well either. Iโm just genuinely curious. HYBE has to spend a lot of money and time to debut an idol, so why did they debut someone like her instead of someone better?”
“Sigh, what are we supposed to do if sheโs scared? If youโre that scared, then just give up.”
Documentary Details
In the documentary, Sakura expressed her fear of singing due to backlash over the group’s live performances. Despite her success and wealth, she conveyed regret about her career choice, leading to mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
