LE_SSERAFIM's Sakura And HongEunchae Reflect On Their 1st Impressions Of 'ANTIFRAGILE,' Their Debut Year, Hopes For 2023, And More
” as some songs she’s listened to. She added, “I listened to [‘As You Wish’] a lot because I had to achieve my dreams.” For the upcoming new year, Hong Eunchae recommended that fans listen to “ANTIFRAGILE” to start off 2023.
She explained, “Throughout the year, there will be a lot of unimaginable and difficult situations. You’ll have to listen to ‘ANTIFRAGILE’ in the meaning of becoming a stronger person by overcoming all those situations.” While 2022 was a year of firsts for Hong Eunchae, her fellow member Sakura had a slightly different experience while on the same journey. Sakura shared that while LE SSERAFIM was her third debut and she already knew members Kim Chaewon and Huh Yunjin, everything was still a new start. She added, “I’m happiest when I’m chatting with my members in the waiting room. It’s hard to meet friends who are as close as family and who you can open up to, so I think I’m really lucky.” Just like Hong Eunchae, Sakura shared her first reaction to “ANTIFRAGILE,” which has a completely different vibe from her past concepts withand HKT48. “I thought, ‘While being an idol, the day I do something like this has come,'” she commented. “I didn’t know and I bet my fans wouldn’t have known either. When I see fans’ reactions while performing, they say they like it because it’s so new. I think I’ve found a new Sakura.” As Hong Eunchae previously mentioned, the “toe shoes” in the “ANTIFRAGILE” lyrics refer to member Kazuha, while the line “don’t overlook my career” refers to Sakura’s long-term progression in this field. Sakura commented, “When I first saw those lyrics, I teared up. Although I wanted to say something, I honestly couldn’t. I can’t say, ‘As I’ve been working really hard, please don’t overlook me.’ But being able to say that in our title track felt like receiving recognition for the path I’ve walked on until now, so I teared up. This year, I also had to surpass the results of my hard work up until now.” While Sakura has achieved her goal of becoming a singer multiple times over, she revealed that she had different childhood dreams. “When I was younger, I wanted to become an obstetrician and write books. I enjoy writing so I want to do that one day.” She added that she hopes to write about her life and showcase it in both Japanese and Korean. Regarding her biggest lesson this year, Sakura chose learning how to praise herself. She explained, “I didn’t do it often in the past. If I praised myself, I thought that was where my growth would stop. However, I think praising yourself is important too. There’s a lot I want to do and I have a lot of excitement so I’m looking forward to next year.” When asked what she would say if Sakura of 2022 could meet Sakura of 2023, she commented, “For starters, I want to tell 2022 me that I worked so hard and did well. To 2023 me, I want to say, ‘Enjoy!’ Next year, no matter what it is, I want to show myself enjoying things, and I want to enjoy myself.” Sakura then shyly added, “To be honest, I really like my members. It’s just that I don’t express myself but I hope they know that. I think a lot [about them]. Even if I don’t say it a lot, I hope they feel that I cherish them a lot.” Sakura then adorably commented, “Ah, I’m so embarrassed after saying that!”on Japan’s famous New Year’s Eve music show Kōhaku Uta Gassen .
