□ About LESSERAFIM

Source Music was preparing for its boy group debut after the launch of girl group GFRIEND, but was acquired by Big Hit Entertainment in 2019 and reborn as a girl group specialized label. Since then, in collaboration with Min Hee-jin HYBE CBO, trainees have been selected through the Plus Global Audition, which has been held since September 2019, to debut the girl group in 2021, but it has been canceled due to COVID-19. Instead, Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae-won, who were members of the girl group IZ*ONE, who ended their activities in 2021, were recruited to start preparing for the girl group launch anew.

Leader Kim Chae-won was the first to join the debut group as a transfer to Source Music was confirmed at the end of June 2021, and Sakura joined the debut group for the second time after an exclusive contract was reported in August after completing all related group activities at the HKT48 graduation concert in June.Heo Yoon-jin, who returned from the U.S., joined for the third time, and Kazuha was selected through an online audition for Source Music in 2021 and trained in the Netherlands from November before entering Korea in January 2022 for the fourth time.Two days later, the LESSERAFIM debut group was completed as Hong Eun-chae, the final selection from the existing Source Music trainees, joined on January 20.

It is the first girl group in about seven years since the six-member girl group GFRIEND debuted in 2015 at Source Music. Source Music has created a girl group in collaboration with Big Hit Entertainment in the past, but it is the first girl group to collaborate and launch since HYBE was launched.

On Source Music's official Twitter, he tweeted an article promoting the Hive X Source Music girl group as a "all-time rookie" from the start.

SinB and Umji, the youngest members of GFRIEND who debuted in 2015 at Source Music, and Sakura, the oldest member of LESSERAFIM who debuted in 2022, were born in 1998.

Although the alphabet is different from Le Seraphim's "SSERAFIM", there are opinions that Seraphim of the same name, which means the re-combination of the Anagram alphabet of the official logo, means the white wings of the angel, and is actually officially a white logo on a black background.

From April 4, 2022, the members of LESSERAFIM were released one by one a day in the order of Sakura, Hong Eun-chae, Kim Chae-won, Kazuha, and Heo Yoon-jin, and the "First Moment of LESSERAFIM" project was carried out together.

Although it is a K-POP idol who debuted at a Korean agency, there are rarely two Koreans and three foreigners, with a higher number of foreign members.

All members use their real names, not stage names.Korean members use their first names, including their last names, while American members use the Korean name "Heo Yoon-jin" as their stage names. Japanese members use Sakura and Kazuha, names excluding their last names, as their activity names, so all members' activity names are three characters in common.

As of the debut date, the age range of the members in the older line is relatively higher than that of other new idols. Sakura, the eldest sister, has been active in Japanese idols HKT48 and AKB48 for seven years since the age of 14, and her second son, Kim Chae-won, debuted with IZ*ONE in 2018 with Sakura and made her debut with LESSERAFIM in about four years. This is because Heo Yoon-jin, the third, has participated in Produce 48, so all three members have some experience in the entertainment industry. Sakura is 24 years old, Kim Chae-won is 21 years old, and Heo Yoon-jin is 20 years old as of the debut date, so even Heo Yoon-jin, the third, is the oldest sister of another new girl group. For your information, the age difference between Le Seraphim's oldest and youngest is 8 years.

As of May 2, 2022, the debut date, the average age of the group is 19 years old, and none of the members are the same age.

At the beginning of their debut, the basic formation in official appearances was mainly from the left in the order of Kazaha - Kim Chae-won - Sakura - Hong Eun-chae - and Heo Yoon-jin, and since then, it has changed according to the album without fixed seating. In photo shoots and greeting videos, not broadcasts, they stand freely without a fixed formation.

Blue Flame, which was a track and active song on its debut album, was written by members Kim Chae-won and Heo Yoon-jin, and is the theme song of HYBE's original story webtoon "Crimson Heart." It tells the story of the members heading to the magical wilderness, UNKNOWN, following the Blue Firefly, which symbolizes desire.

The debut album "FEARLESS" sold 176,861 copies in one day on May 2, the day of its release. This is the highest sales volume on the first day of the girl group's debut album ever. And on the second day of its release, it broke the record for the first sales of girl group debut albums. It is also the first girl group to sell more than 300,000 copies with its debut album.

The accommodation is divided into two houses, and Kim Chae-won, Heo Yoon-jin, and Hong Eun-chae live in one house, and Sakura and Kazuha live together on another floor of the same building. Also, all members use their own rooms. Kazuha did not know Korean well when he was a trainee, so he lived in the same house as Sakura, who was fluent in both Japanese and Korean, and after his debut, he gradually forgot Japanese [27], so he decided to talk in Japanese because there were only two in his dorm.

All members have an introverted I type in MBTI. Sakura had a definite introversion with an I of 98%, and Heo Yoon-jin, who is quite active, showed a 69% introversion, which was surprising. Originally, Kazuhaman had E, an extrovert, but Kazuhado was also changed to INFP.

The group's nicknames include Pimdungi, Geunse Lapim, and Le Serajim.

All the Korean members are from Seoul.

Except for Kazuha, the only child in the team, there are siblings or sisters in the family of four members.

All members are taller than the average height of Korean women. Japanese members Sakura and Kazuha are taller than the average height of women in Japan and Korea.

Unlike other idol groups, the members' speed of opening personal SNS is quite fast. Sakura and Kim Chae-won had their personal Instagram even before their re-debut with LESSERAFIM, and Kazuha opened their personal Instagram just a month after their debut. Later, on August 9, Heo Yoon-jin opened his personal Instagram. As a result, all members except the youngest Hong Eun-chae had personal Instagram accounts until 2022, but on January 4, 2023, Hong Eun-chae also opened her personal Instagram, so all members own personal SNS accounts. When Hong Eun-chae created her personal account, all of her sisters promoted Hong Eun-chae's account very hard on her personal Instagram story.

Appearing at Yongjin Health Center, he said, "I'm Fearless! Hello, I'm Le Seraphim!"It was originally a greeting," he said.

In June 2022, Hot Cools V LIVE mentioned that he received a very high level of difficulty during his debut group trainee period. In the order of 100 consecutive jumping jacks, 25 buffy tests, 4 sets, 3 sets of core exercises, and other exercises, followed by live and choreography practice, and the process was repeated more than twice a day. He also said he went to work at 10 a.m. and left work at 2 a.m. and received more than 12 hours of training a day.[34]

When I was a trainee at Source Music, the members' daily routine went to work at 10 a.m., practiced until 2 a.m. the next day, washed up, slept, woke up, and went back to work, and repeated it.

The executive producer of LESSERAFIM is Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, and the main producers are SCORE (13) and Megatone (13).

During the preparation period for the comeback, Chairman Bang Si-hyuk is said to submit a video of his choreography practice to Chairman Bang Si-hyuk for inspection almost every week. Bang Si-hyuk said he was surprised by Le Seraphim's high-intensity performance to the point where he had never seen a team dance so hard.

Before his debut, he has filmed all the videos from the trainee and casting stage, and like artists Bang Si-hyuk's general producer, the webtoon and novel worldview are already underway, and the festival period is expected to be held for about a week or two before his debut.
