LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura has found herself at the center of a growing LE SSERAFIM Sakura controversy after remarks about weight management and self-care sparked heated discussions among fans online.

During a recent moment that quickly circulated on social media, her comments about maintaining one’s appearance were interpreted by some viewers as harsh or overly critical.
