LE SSERAFIM member Kazuha spoke about her dreamy expectations of Korea, heavily influenced by her love for K-dramas, during her guest appearance on the November 11 episode of Salon drip on the TEO YouTube channel. The episode, titled “It’s November 11th. Make a Wish”, also featured group member Huh Yunjin.
Kazuha candidly shared, “I’ve always loved K-dramas and K-pop, so I had a romanticized image of Korea. I thought something like a Korean drama would happen to me, something romantic, like suddenly being overwhelmed by a ‘shalala’ moment while walking down the street.”
He revealed that the first K-drama he ever watched was Descendants of the sunand stars like Song Hye Kyo and Kim Ji Won left a lasting impression. “I thought Korea would be just like the drama. I thought people really talked like that. That’s when I also got into K-pop and fell in love with BLACKPINK.” he said.
Member Huh Yunjin also shared his struggles before debut, stating: “I trained for four years, going through four different potential rookie teams, but things never worked out. I finally decided to come back to the United States and live intensely for two months. I received a scholarship and paid tuition to my dream school.”
However, fate had other plans. “The next day, the company called me. At first I tried to act cool and said no, but in my heart I had already made up my mind. I believed that receiving that call after paying the fee meant something. I immediately changed my mind,” he recalled.
Their stories highlighted not only the global appeal of Korean pop culture, but also the intense commitment and sacrifices behind their debut journeys. As LE SSERAFIM continues to grow, moments like these remind fans of the very human dreams and emotions behind the refined performances.
