On April 15, female idol Sakura (member of the group LE SSERAFIM) caused a stir when she posted a long article on Weverse, expressing her opinion after the group LE SSERAFIM's "disastrous" debut performance at the Coachella 2024 music festival.
“We did our best,” Sakura said. “We’ve only been out for less than two years and have only done one tour, so we put all our heart and soul into the stage called Coachella.
I was the only one who knew for sure what I was doing. I prepared very carefully for this stage, immersed myself in it and enjoyed it, and I was able to express all of that on the day of the performance.”
She also affirmed: “I may be immature in someone’s eyes. But no one is perfect. There is an undeniable truth that this is the best performance we have ever shown”, and “will live the way I want”, “always believe in myself”.
However, Sakura's statement received mixed reactions. On online communities Pann Nate and theqoo, viewers criticized Sakura for having been active as an idol for decades (before joining LE SSERAFIM, Sakura was a member of the group IZ*ONE, and had previously been active in Japan for 10 years), but her live singing skills were still poor.
The audience commented: "LE SSERAFIM debuted for 2 years, and you've debuted for 13 years", "You don't understand yourself at all", "This article of yours would only be accepted if your group conquered the stage like Blackpink", "With this mindset, it's no wonder their ability has remained stagnant for the past 10 years", "Shut up and practice", "I quite like listening to the group's music, but I realize they are over-hyped compared to their skills", "Shameless"...
But not only Sakura, LE SSERAFIM member Kim Chaewon continues to be at the center of criticism, when posting a video of singer Doja Cat swearing and raising her middle finger on the Coachella stage.
Doja Cat is a US-UK artist, so these actions at a music festival in the US are not a topic of debate. However, Chaewon's sharing of it has led many to speculate that this is her response to LE SSERAFIM's critics. Chaewon deleted the video shortly after.
Viewers commented on Chaewon's confusing move on theqoo: "This girl is crazy", "I don't think she should give people something to tear apart", "She'd better go away", "The performance lasted for dozens of minutes but she posted that part?"...
